Thank you to everyone who helped furnish pies for our Pie and Ice Cream Social on Sunday, June 23rd at the Pavilion. We had a nice assortment of pies. They were enjoyed by everyone.
Pr. Matthew wants to visit and get to know YOU better! To help keep communication lines open, he has decided to add in "Drop-in hours" at church on a trial basis. You can still setup meetings/visits other times, like always, by phone call or email, but you can now also just drop in at church on Mondays from 10:30-Noon, and Thursdays Noon-1:30!

SCHOOL KITS
School Kits make a difference between getting an education or not. Public School is free, but supplies are not. Many families are not able to even afford a pencil. Some children often walk miles to and from school, often over steep and muddy terrain. Back-packs make it easier to carry books and supplies and protect papers and homework assignments from dust or dampness. To have a back-pack is a symbol of what it means to be a real student.
August 24th will be a gathering of an intergenerational mission project that you and your family and friends can partake with others from a total of five churches. Anyone else is also invited to join. We will be packaging meals for starving children in this country and the world. As Jesus came into this world to serve others as a serving servant, we also are called to serve others. Perhaps at one point you will ask yourself why am I here, what is my purpose for being here on this earth. The purpose of life is simply to serve others. And no matter what job you will pick in life, as long as it is a service to someone some how there is no way you will feel totally complete and whole until you have given a part of yourself for others. At the end of the summer you will be eager to see your friends again. And do feel free to invite any of your friends even if they are of a different denomination. The work will be done in shifts that you may sign up for like and hour or two so you do not need to give up a whole day if you have other places and things to do. Cant wait to share the day with you. Mark your calendars today. The event will take place at the Grant County DAC and there will be a meal to partake in to taste what your packing and a video to view on KIDS AGAINST HUNGER. May the peace of God be with you.

If you are unable to be a helper on your Sunday, please call one of your work group leaders and he or she will help you find a
replacement.
Thank you.
There certainly is a lot of work to go around this month, but I know that God is working alongside us, encouraging us to find joy in the work we share. For I know that there is nothing better for us than to be happy and enjoy ourselves as long as we live. Amen
Pastor Matthew
