Prayer Warriors Needed: Bro. Steve Mercer is seeking men, women & children who will commit to pray during August for the 2nd ward of Coshocton (our church is on the border line). There is a sign up sheet on the back radiator so please consider joining this prayer army and sign up.

There will be no Sunday evening services during August for various reasons.

VBS NEWS: Next Sunday afternoon, 2pm, help is needed to set the church up for Vacation Bible School. Please consider coming to help. Many hands make light work. Those of you who will be helping out during VBS please plan to stay for a short training meeting after the church is set up.

There will be no Wednesday evening service on Aug. 16 due to Vacation Bible School.

Attention to those of you who have access to a computer:
If you go to the web site at www.letssaythanks.com  you can pick out a thank you card and the Xerox Corporation will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq. You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to some member of the armed services. It is FREE and it only takes a second. Wouldn't it be wonderful if our military received a bunch of these? C'mon...DO IT!!
