MINISTRIES
COURAGE TO CHANGE This month our Guest speaker for Thursday August 21 at
7:00PM will be Dina Andrews. Dina is the director of the Circles
Campaign of the Mid-Ohio Valley program,a 12 week program
that uplifts low-income families as they move themselves
permanently out of poverty. This program empowers people
from every economic background to solve poverty in the
community. Please join us for this special guest speaker and
learn how you can help others come out of poverty and become
more productive members of our community.
LOVE IN ACTION A special thank you to the six teens and Travis that helped with
the adopt a highway program this past Saturday on 618 again.
Also a special thanks to the adults that helped. Thank you
Carrie Love for your organization again. What do you live for
each day? God gives each of us life for a very specific reason: to
serve Him. Nobody finds inner peace without reconciling this
fact. Our society teaches us that pleasure, prosperity, position,
and popularity will make us happy--but living in the service of
self always leaves an emptiness no earthly reward can fill. May
all of us remember our real purpose here on Earth to glorify our
mighty God.

JESUS, NICODEMUS AND ME
John 3:1-15
That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not
marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes, and
you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is
with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
~John 3:6-8
