"May the Lord direct your hearts into God's love and Christ's perseverance."
- 2 Thess. 3:5

Dear brothers and sisters,

In case you haven't heard, Mark Bennett, son of Hugh & Louise, died
yesterday in a car accident while attending a family reunion in South
Dakota.  There'll be an informal prayer gathering tonight (Thursday) at 7:00
p.m. in the sanctuary for anyone who desires.  "Trust in him at all times, O
people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge." - Ps. 62:8

On Sunday we continue to focus on Community.  These are the Scriptures
chosen for the day:
*	Psalm 133
*	Acts 2:35-47
*	Mark 1:40-45
Holy Communion will again be made available in Fellowship Room B from
10:45-10:59 a.m.
Sunday Classes for all ages continue this Sunday and next.

Fun & Friends preparations, guided by Barbie Tew, are in full swing.
Advanced registrations are up.  Please be praying for a) the Gospel to
impact kids & their families, and b) how you might be involved during the
day or at the Friday evening Bar-B-Q.  And:  I could still use any empty two
liter bottles you might be able to spare.

Church Picnic is coming up on Sunday, August 8.

A little something for your heart:

"May the yoke of the Law of God be upon your shoulder, the coming of the
Holy Spirit on your head, the sign of Christ on your forehead, the hearing
of the Holy Spirit in your ears, the smelling of the Holy Spirit in your
nose, the vision of the people of heaven in your mouth, the work of the
Church of God in your hands, the good of God and of neighbor in your feet.
May God dwell in your heart and may you belong entirely to God the Father.
Amen"  -- Breastplate Prayer of St. Fursa

Yours and His,
Pastor Mark

"Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every
way.  The Lord be with all of you." - 2 Thess. 3:16
