ANNOUNCEMENTS
The WMSC July meeting is this Thursday.  Gerri Schwartz is in charge of the kitchen and Rachel Oswald will have devotions.  The project for August is to continue to collect items for school kits for MCC.  Extra bags are on the console in the fellowship hall.  In addition, there is a box on the console in which to put school supplies for Locust Grove teachers.
Food donations during August will go to the Keystone Place.
Our annual Sunday morning service at Amigo Center Pavilion will be Aug. 26 starting with coffee and donuts at 9:30 AM, worship service at 10:30 AM, a noon carry-in meal, and ending with a baptism at Rich & Chris Oswald’s immediately after the meal.   
The next Red Cross Blood Drive at Locust Grove will be August 27.
The Church Affiliation Committee has recommended that Locust Grove apply for membership with the Evana Network.  There will be a congregational vote for this on Sept. 9.  Please be in prayer about this decision.
Starting today we will be taking “coins” offerings for My Coins Count for the Relief Sale.  These offerings will be collected through Sept. 17.
