Beginning on July 9, our weekly Wednesday, “Together in the Word” Bible study will begin meeting again at 10:30am. This is a great time to spend together in the Word of God with one another. Everyone is invited to join us as we take up our current study, “How to Pray the Bible.” This study will equip us to pray with more clarity and intention. We plan to kick-off our Summer study with a pitch-in lunch. If you plan to attend our first study on July 9, please sign-up below and let us know what you can bring. The lunch theme will be, “Salads and Sandwiches."

Upcoming Church Vote
On Sunday, July 13^th, following the Lord’s Table, we will take a church vote on the following recommendation:
The pastors recommend that we add the Andy Streit family to our monthly mission support. Andy recently communicated their burden to go to Peru as missionaries. There, Andy will train young local men to pastor churches in Peru. He, his wife Christy, and their children hope to be in Peru by the end of 2025. They currently have 90% of their monthly needed support raised. Our recommendation is that we begin supporting them at $300.00 per month.

Trustee Renovation Update
The trustees continue to seek the information needed to provide the church with the next steps for future renovation on the fellowship hall, nursery, main hallway and foyer. It is our goal to have information that we can present to you in August. Thank you.

UPDATE!
Ladies, unfortunately the July 16 ladies meeting has been canceled. We will still meet on July 30 so please mark your calendars and plan to attend! Please consider asking a friend or two to go out for ice cream or dinner together on July 16. Take the evening to get to know a new friend or deepen an existing friendship.

All ladies (including teen girls!) are encouraged to come enjoy time together on Wednesday, July 30 from 6:30-8 PM! The evening will be centered around Titus 2:3-5. Let's gather together and grow! Of course, we will have fun!
Sign-up for July 30^th here.

If you are willing, please sign-up here & bring the item on or before Sunday morning (7/20). Thank you for encouraging these men & the leadership teams! Also, please reach out to Melinda if you are willing to smoke some meat. (The church will provide the meat.)
