Our quarterly Voter’s Meeting will be on SUN JULY 28 following our Worship Service.
Stewardship Thought: Luke 10:25 – “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” There is nothing right about this question. What shall I do to inherit? What can you do to inherit the throne of England? You can’t do anything to gain it. An inheritance comes by family ties, not deeds. Our deeds follow and result from our family ties. The Father calls us His own children. So, we inherit eternal life by grace, and we seek to live out our new calling as the Father’s children with our good works.
 
Vacation Bible School will be held on Monday, July 22nd - Friday, July 26th from 12:30pm-3:30pm at Emmanuel Church, Longwood. Registration forms are on the back table in the Narthex. Please pick up a form, fill out, and return A.S.A.P. to Tonya Klabon or Bekah Dorwaldt, or the secretary office at church. Thank you!
 
SAVE THE DATE: On Sunday, August 4th, 2019 we will be having a Retirement and Appreciation Dinner for Pastor Tom and Jean at Meadowview Country Club in Owen. The dinner will immediately follow our 10am Worship Service. Please get your R.S.V.P.’s in as soon as possible. The deadline is TODAY July 14^th! If you did not receive an invite, please leave a note with your current address in the secretary’s office.
 
Lawn Mowing Volunteers Needed: Once again we are looking for members to help with the lawn care for this summer. Mowers and fuel are provided. All we need is for people to volunteer for a two week span. Please check the bulletin board by the stairs to sign up. THANK YOU! The month of September is open, yet.
 
Our Service Assistant Sheet is in need of names. Prayerfully consider this opportunity to help keep our services running smoothly. We currently need a Head Usher for July and Lay assistants for August, September, and October.
