Greetings!

Today is my birthday and I'll share a sampling of what I've heard today:
  • "Were you in school with Christopher Columbus?"
  • "Why are you so old?"
  • "You are WAY to young to be 50!"
  • "I've always heard that it's 'nifty' to be 50."
Thanks to my parents, I've always loved my birthday.  So much so, that a couple years ago Rose Markowicz (her birthday is tomorrow) and I decided that we should celebrate for the whole month!  (It's not our birthDAY, it's our birthMONTH!") 

I enjoy life. God has been so good to me and I have so many things to be thankful for.  This week watching the exuberance of the VBS children and the caring adults working with them reminds me of how very fortunate I was to learn the songs and stories of the bible when I was a little girl. I have been blessed to grow up knowing that God loves me and I am his child.         

I've decided to go with Fabulous Fifty.  That works.
See you in church,
Patti
Noisy Offering is this week 
Bring your loose change to support our Bulgarian partners

Bring your loose change on Sunday and make a lot of NOISE as the children pass through the isles with their cans.  The money we collect each month is used to support our partner church in Russe, Bulgaria.

Bible Boot Camp - VBS 2010 
VBS has been a big hit!

Our children have been learning about putting on their armor to help them stand tall and do what God wants them to do.  The belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness and the shield of faith are all tools to help us.

Great Opportunities to Grow

DISCIPLE - REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE - Participants in this thirty-two-week study will read the major and minor Old Testament prophets, with the exception of Daniel, and will read the thirteen letters traditionally attributed to Paul. To establish the historical context in which the prophets spoke for God, daily reading assignments also draw on the books of Deuteronomy through Chronicles. Led by Dr. Clark Stevens, this class will meet Mondays from 6:30 - 9:00 p.m. starting in September and ending in May. 

Christianity & World Religions - In our religiously diverse society it is essential that Christians seek to understand the faiths of others, to know how these faiths are similar to and different from their own faith. This book examines four major world religions, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam and Judaism describing how they began, some of their essential teachings, and ways in which they differ from and are similar to Christianity. We'll taste foods that are important to their culture and visit their place of worship.  Led by Erich Bacher, this class will meet on Sunday evenings at 6:00 p.m. starting September 12th.

Other classes and studies are in the planning stages.  If there is a particular topic you are interested in or are willing to lead/facilitate a discussion please contact Patti at 964-0143 or by email.
