Greetings!
While preparing for youth group this fall I came across a little book called The Prayer of Jabez for Teens by Bruce Wilkinson. Mr. Wilkinson writes: "You change what you know; then you change how you think and feel; then you change what you ask God for and what you expect. It all feels so mysterious and out of sight...but then one day - Zap! You look around and you realize your life has changed...and it's a whole lot better!"
I absolutely love that and had to share it with you!
Blessings,
Heather |

| Show off Your Smarts at Team Trivia Night!
The Mission committee is sponsoring a Team Trivia Night in the social hall on Sunday, August 30, at 5:00 p.m. to encourage fellowship and to raise money for Kandithankulam, Jamieson Center, Starting Point, and Rainbow Riders. Categories will cover a wide range, from sports, the Bible, history, and more. The entry fee for each six-person team is $30.00. We encourage you to invite non-church members and to make your group intergenerational. Registration forms, due August 16, are available around the church. Contact the church office if you need help forming your team. There will be prizes for the winners and losers. Drinks will be provided and snacks will be on sale, so bring some friends to cheer you on!

| Baked Goods & Forks Needed
We have some pretty fabulous bakers in this congregation and it would be terrific if some of you would be willing to make something for our Trivia Night! If you are able, please sign up on the office door.
Also, if you have a plethora of plastic forks lying around, we would gladly take them off your hands! Please see Sharon Graham.
Thank you and we hope to see you there! |
