THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
Love divine, all loves excelling, joy of heaven to earth come down,
Fix in us thy humble dwelling, all thy faithful mercies crown;
Jesu, thou art all compassion, pure unbounded love thou art,
Visit us with thy salvation, enter every trembling heart.
-Charles Wesley

MESSAGE FROM OUR TREASURER
Just a reminder - Church expenses for operations and missions are fairly uniform through the year. Receipts from pledges and offerings tend to lag during the summer which puts stress on church reserves. Please consider staying current with you pledge to assure our financial stability. Feel free to direct questions to church treasurer, Bill Humphries.
SIGN UP FOR YOUTH DINNERS!
One of the best parts of our weekly youth group meeting is having the chance to share a meal together. And that’s where you come in! Please sign up to bring a meal for our youth. It doesn’t need to be gourmet or even homemade — our kids aren’t picky! Also, please feel free to sign up with a buddy to tag team a meal. You can sign up here. If you have any questions, please contact Emma.
