A CD RELEASE Praise and Worship Celebration will be held at Ogilville Christian Church this evening at 6:30 p.m. With a lot of help and participation from drummer, Greg Hercamp, the worship team at OCC has recorded a CD.  This celebration will include lots of worship in song and sharing about the making of the CD.  Cupcakes and ice cream will follow.  Everyone is invited to join them!

THE ANNIVERSARY DINNER of the CrossLife Ministries Auxiliary will be held on Monday, July 17, beginning at 6:00 p.m. at Emanuel Lutheran Church, Dudleytown.  All are invited to enjoy the evening of fellowship and become more familiar with this ministry to individuals, marriages, and families throughout Jackson and Bartholomew counties.  Please bring a covered dish to share.  Drinks and anniversary cake will be provided.

HOST FAMILIES NEEDED:  Trinity Lutheran high School has been welcoming more international students to the community, and we are in need of host families for at least 4 students this upcoming year.  Places are needed for girls from China, Vietnam, and Germany, and a boy from South Korea.  The visiting student provides a monthly stipend to families for help with food and transportation costs while here.  Please contact Ben Stellwagen (812-524-8547 or bstellwagen@trinitycougars.org) for more information.  Please give prayerful consideration to hosting one of these students and, as a result, help share the Gospel with the community abroad!

STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:   Matthew 11:28
“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”  Jesus has come to do the work so that we might have rest from burdens and labors we are not capable of bearing.  He frees us from sin, death, and the demands of the Law.  In that peace and rest of Jesus we find a new purpose – His light yoke which is no burden to bear, but a joy!


T BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
