August 7 Weekly News

TODAY’S ALTAR FLOWERS have been given by Tyler & Leah Ross in thanksgiving and celebration of their marriage here last evening. May God grant them many happy years together!

CHURCH PICNIC: Here is your checklist for next Sunday’s Church Picnic: *Wear your play clothes. *Bring your lawn chair. *Get your antiques, collectibles, hobbies, quilts ready to display. *Bring your pie for the Pie Baking Contest (or just your pie to share if you’d like). *Bring adult books for the Book Walk (We already have plenty of children’s books.) *Bring your biggest squirt gun if you want to battle. *Get plenty of rest the night before so you have lots of energy!

Donations to help with the picnic expenses may be given to any of the Elders or Ushers.

THE CHURCH PICNIC COMMITTEE will meet today after worship.

PASTOR BRANDT’S BIBLE STUDY: The Epistle of James emphasizes that faith without works is dead. It does not spell out the way to salvation. Why, then, choose this Book to study? Those who come to Pastor Brandt’s Bible Class, beginning on Thursday, August 18, at 10:30 AM will be confronted with this challenge. Call Becky in the church office to enroll.

A MEMORIAL has been given by Dick & Jo Hercamp to our tape ministry in loving memory of Carol Thompson on what would have been her 75th birthday July 25. Carol went to her heavenly home one year ago August 24.

ST. PAUL, BORCHERS, is sponsoring a benefit meal and silent auction next Sunday to raise funds to assist the Jack Guffey family with their home remodeling in the Cortland area, which will better accommodate daughter, Danielle, who needs to use a wheelchair, due to cerebral palsy. This family suffered a setback when their wife and mother, Teresa, died unexpectedly from cancer. Donations may be mailed to St. Paul-Borchers Care Team, 10792 N. Co. Rd. 210 E., Seymour, IN 47271, Attn: Guffey Project.
