THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
The physical voice we use in prayer need not be great nor startling; even should we not lift up any great cry or shout, God will yet hear us. - Origen

GUEST PREACHER
This Sunday morning we will welcome The Rev. Dr. Thomas Evans to our pulpit. Dr. Evans came to Atlanta February of 2010 to serve as the Executive Presbyter of Greater Atlanta. He previously served as Executive Presbyter of the Presbytery of Sheppards and Lapsley, headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, which includes central Alabama Presbyterian churches.

Immediate needs are volunteers to help move furniture and prepare the apartment for their arrival Saturday, July 23. We are also in need of a washer and dryer.

MISSION CAMP NEEDS YOU
We have a good number of kids registered for our third Mission Camp July 25-29. We are working to secure enough chaperones/drivers.
