Food donations during July will go to the Salvation Army.

At the July 11 blood drive, 46 donors contributed a total of 42 units.  The next blood drive is September 12. 

Baby bottles filled with coins for the Pregnancy Helpline was the WMS project for June.  The total raised so far is $553.62 with at least 1 more bottle to be returned.

If you would like to receive the Rejoice and/or Our Daily Bread, order slips are in the mailbox room.  Just fill one out, sign your name, and place it in Kay Large’s mailbox by today.  (Please note the correction from Purpose to Rejoice.  The Purpose is no longer in circulation.  Sorry for the confusion.) 

The WMS project for July is school kits for MCC. 

Matt Yoder was affirmed 100% in last Sunday’s vote.  We praise God for His direction and blessings.  The installation service for Matt as our lead pastor will take place on Sun, July 31 during the morning service.  Following the morning service, we will have a celebratory carry-in fellowship meal. 

There will not be Sunday school on July 31.  Jayson & Julie Casper will be sharing during the SS time that day.

We will be having a baptismal service on Aug. 28 after our Camp Amigo service.  If you are interested in being baptized, please let Matthew Yoder know.
