August 9 – Tony Barone, Buffalo City Mission
August 16 – Bill & Darlene Miller, longtime friends of our fellowship and currently missionary candidates to Ecuador
August 23 – Larry Van Etten, Seneca Gospel Mission
Sunday School may be in Summer recess, but don’t let that keep you from asking tough questions! During the Summer months, if there are questions or comments related to the morning message, let’s linger for a minute or so (whoever wants to) and discuss them. After people have gone through the line, we can find a quiet place for a brief, impromptu Q&A session. This is experimental, strictly voluntary, but it could be lots of fun! In any case, have a restful, refreshing Summer! – Derek
Thank you to my church family for your prayers and support these last few years as I cared for my dad. It means a lot. – Pam Johengen
Sunday, August 30th
Plan now to join us at the Hills’ pond for our annual outdoor worship service and picnic.
