OFFERING A HELPING HAND– Recently a call from an elderly woman in need came into the church office.  She needs someone to help with her gardening. (Pulling weeds) She lives in Mineral Springs. Her phone # is in the office.  When someone volunteers, I will call her and tell her your name and then you can call her to make the arrangements. Please see Nancy after service to inquire about this privilege to offer a helping hand.

WELCOME VISITORS!
We’re so glad you’re here today! If you’re visiting with us, please take a moment to complete a Welcome Card (located in pews) and place it in the offering box located at the back of the sanctuary. If you haven’t yet received a Welcome Packet, we’d love to connect with you — please see the pastor after the service so we can personally greet you and provide one. Thank you for joining us!

CORN BOIL- Everyone is invited to the annual corn boil at 6:00 pm Tuesday, August 12th.  The church will provide corn, hamburgers, hotdogs and drinks. We will also provide the place settings.  Please bring a salad, dessert or side to share.  Come enjoy the fellowship!

LOVE OFFERING-There will be a love offering box in the back of the church (next to offering) for the Albert family. They were burned out of their home.  They also lost the garage containing 2 cars.  They lost everything.  Brooke and Ben have a small baby (Miles).  (The baby blanket that Fingers of Faith gave Miles, has been replaced.)

BACKPACK SUNDAY- August 24. Kids bring your backpacks to church to be blessed, so you have a great year at school.
