VBS News: Sis. Cindy Coakley will be at the church every night from 5pm to 8:45pm working on props and such. She needs all the help she can get. It would be nice to see some of you putting your energy toward this ministry. The more volunteers to work the smoother it will go.
Vacation Bible School Pre-Registration: Please get your child/children registered early. See the display in the vestibule/Welcome Center area. It helps a lot to have this already done.

Baked Goods: The Teens are raising money for their trip to ATF in Cleveland. The table by the water fountain has baked goods for sale for this purpose. Please consider supporting them with a purchase. Thanks.
Secret Sisters: The table will be located in the entryway facing Walnut Street until VBS is over. Thanks for your cooperation in finding the missing name. From now on, please make sure to put your name on the back of the paper you draw (every 3 months) and drop it into the box. This helps alleviate a bunch of phone calls if there is a problem. Thanks.
Church Yard Sale: If you have something to get rid of, why not bring it in for the yard sale? We need all donations in by next Saturday, July 29. The sale will be August 3,4 & 5. We can also use bags, paper and plastic. Please mark your calendars and set aside some time to volunteer your help. This is a major undertaking and we appreciate any and all the help we can get. Your donations are greatly appreciated as well!

Food Pantry: Though it won’t we very big, we will once again be able to have a small food pantry of canned goods. If you would like to contribute to getting it stocked up, bring in your items and put them in the Welcome Center area behind the couch. God is so good to allow us to be used in this way once again. Praise Him!

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT:
Dear God, I have a problem, it's me.
Faith is the ability to not panic.
Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be bent out of shape.
When we get tangled up in our problems, be still.
God wants us to be still so He can untangle the knot.
No one falls in love by  chance , it is by  choice .  No one stays in love by chance, it is by  WORK.  And no one falls out of love by chance,  it is by CHOICE.  Jesus is the love of my life. I fell in love with Him and have never turned back. May it ring from the rooftops. May I ever proclaim it. JESUS IS THE LOVE OF MY ETERNAL SOUL!

"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God." Ephesians 2:8
