Upcoming Events: July

Prayer Gathering

Please join with us as we go before the throne of God seeking His direction and provision for our  ministry in the community, and interceding for one another.  We will meet in the sanctuary on Sunday, July 28th, from 5:00-6:00 p.m.

Encouragement Needed

No doubt we all know someone who needs encouragement right now.  It seems that there are many among our families, church family, and friends who are going through difficult trials.  In the Scriptures we are instructed to “bear one another’s burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ” (Galatians 6:2). We are instructed to “encourage one another”.  Let’s take the time this month to pray and consider how we may come alongside someone who is hurting. There are many ways to encourage: a visit, a phone call, praying together, sharing a book or a Scripture, offering practical help, baking something, cooking a meal, listening, bringing flowers. “It is more blessed to give, than to receive.” (Acts 20:35).

Then Jesus told them a parable to show them that they should always pray and never give up.  Luke  18:1

Looking Ahead to Operation Christmas Child

In November, our church will once again be a relay center for the annual collection of gifts for children around the world.  This will involve staffing the church with volunteers during certain hours the week before Thanksgiving (Monday – Monday).  We will receive shoeboxes from people in the area, and pack them into larger boxes which will be picked up and transported to Northampton. This is a wonderful opportunity to play a larger role in an effective ministry, and to increase our exposure in the larger community.  Interested in volunteering and/or finding out more? Speak to Charleen (499-3040).

Men’s Prayer Fellowship

Men of all ages are invited to be a part of the Men’s Prayer Fellowship which meets monthly year-round.  The next gathering will be Saturday, July 20th, from 7:00-8:30 a.m., at the church. Join us for a study of Psalm 51, prayer and fellowship.  Refreshments will be served.
