WELCOME! God says, “Gather to me my faithful ones, who made a covenant with me”
(Psalm 50:5). We have come to worship God in spirit and in truth. Everyone is invited to join
together in the church basement following the morning worship service for a time of fellowship, cookies, coffee and punch.
—We rejoice that Jason Klinger appeared before the Elders on July 19 to profess his Christian faith.
Jason will publicly profess his faith on a date to be announced.

Pro-Life Corner:
Please take time to study abortion and its effect on women, men and on our country. You’ll be stunned at what you’ll find: post-abortion syndrome, suicide, physical injury, and a whopping 500% increase in child abuse are the results of abortion. Let’s help women who have unplanned pregnancies to bring their baby to term instead of having an abortion.
Thought for the week:
Pray for faith that will not shrink when it is washed in the waters of affliction
