Announcements

New Member Recommendation:  Heidi Miller has completed the new member classes.  The elders recommend Heidi and anticipate welcoming her into the membership, August 8, during worship.  If you have any questions regarding this recommendation, please contact one of the elders.

Opportunity to Give Update:  Sunday, July 4, the Mission Committee announced a need of assistance for Kiran and Lakshmi’s children, Benny and Grace, for their education fees.  A total of $7,560.00 was contributed.  The Mission Committee, following the provisions of the Student Aid Fund, has sent a total of $15,560.00 to be shared equally by Benny and Grace.  Thank you for your generosity as we see this as assisting Kiran and his efforts in Berachah.

Nursery Rotation The parents of children in the Nursery are beginning a rotation. If anyone would like to join the rotation and help in the Nursery, please let Chelsea Villines or Edwin Detweiler know.

Music Coordinator.  Kyle Slagell’s term as the Music Coordinator ends in August.  After meeting with Kyle, the elders would like to recommend to the congregation that he serve another one-year term as our Music Coordinator.  Absentee ballots will be available August 1 and are due back at the time of the vote, August 8, during worship.

Golf Cart Ministry  The Hydro Fair is  August 19-21.  Once again, our church will be providing free golf cart rides for fair attenders to and from their vehicles. A sign-up sheet is on the credenza for 5 carts each evening. You may drive as an individual for the entire evening, or you may sign up as a family, Sunday School class, etc and make your own schedule for your evening. You are responsible for your cart the entire night.  If you would like to help as a relief driver, but not be in charge, there is a place to sign up for that also. Time will start around 6 pm and will go until the fair closes. Thanks so much for volunteering your time for this ministry. Questions? Contact Matt Jackson or Ben Warner

Thank you for the prayers, call, messages, gift, and love during my brother’s death and funeral. Also, the help and prayers since Warren fell and injured his back. We appreciate is very much. Warren and Lola

The August Bible Reading & Prayer List is available in the literature rack in the South Hall.

Special prayer request from Rolly Walter. Our Spanish residence cards are expiring August 31.  With the pandemic making scheduling difficult and us traveling,  I haven’t been able to secure appointments to renew them. Lucy needs to do this before going back to boarding school in Germany,  August 21. Pray that I can secure residence card renewal appointments for Lucy and me between August 5 and August 20. The rest of the family aren’t so crucial as they will be in Malaga for whenever appointments become available.
