The church has joined with the children's ministry as they learn to memorize Bible verses in their Sunday classes. We are now in the second year of our congregational memorization project. This month's verse reminds us that we can find our strength in Jesus Christ - Philippians 4:13.

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

The underpass located just east of our parking lot entrance is now closed for extensive reconstruction. It will remain closed until approximately November. So accessing our location will only be available from the west, off 2400 North and Nichols Canyon Road.

Ed Merrihew is this week's guest speaker for the Bible study.

The Children's Ministry will conduct its quarterly meeting August 15 after the Bible study. Current and future volunteers are invited to this planning and vision meeting. If you have felt that the Lord is calling you to begin serving in the Nursery/Children's ministry, then plan on attending.

This annual event, taking place Friday-Saturday, Aug. 21-22, is open to all men in the fellowship. Youth from 6th grade and up are also invited. Save the date for a great time. A required sign-up is currently underway at the Information Booth in the lobby. The cost is $5 per person or $15 per family.

Have you ever noticed how welcoming it is to come into a clean facility such as our Church? We have a dedicated group of individuals who are awesome about cleaning up the Church so that all the saints may gather and feel welcomed. These servants gather on Monday mornings at 8:30 to thoroughly clean the Church. We have a current need for servants in this ministry. So if you feel that God is calling you to meet this need, fill out the information sheet and leave it at the Information Booth.

Ongoing needs present an opportunity for adult volunteers to serve in the Nursery. You will be joining a team of servants who find a joyful reward in serving the Lord. Interested? Please complete the Ministry Form included in your bulletin.

Do you possess a musical talent? Do you have the ability to sing on key? Do you feel the Lord calling you to utilize these talents? If you answered yes to any of these questions, please fill out the information form provided with your bulletin and drop it in one of the tithe boxes located throughout the church.
