MANY THANKS TO Pastor Brandt for leading our worship
today and this coming Wednesday evening.
Pastor & Emily are vacationing this week and will return home
Saturday.
BIBLE STUDY:
Is there a reason why some of us have no desire to grow in our
relationship with God in Bible Study?
Does this have anything to say about our spirituality? This will be a part of our discussion at Pastor
Brandt's Bible Study, "The Sacraments," which will begin this
Thursday, August 16, at 10:30 AM in the Fellowship Room. Call Becky in the church office (342-3516) to
enroll.
THE WOMEN'S BIBLE
STUDY will be
held on Wednesday afternoons at 3:30 at the parsonage, beginning on September
5. Emily will be leading discussion of
the book, Grace For the Good Girl.
This book may be ordered online or through Emily at 447-8693 or
emilymariecook@gmail.com. Check out the
church blog for more information about this book.
SENIOR LEAGUE MEMBERS will meet for supper next Sunday
evening, August 19, at 5:30 PM at Bob Evans Restaurant at West Hill and then
return to the Fellowship Room for their monthly meeting and socializing.
