WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!
We are trying to meet the needs of several families as they prepare for school to start. This is our an-nual Back To School Bash but instead of buying for individual families, this year we are asking you to buy in bulk and place in the tubs located in the foyer. These will be divided equally among those we are serving.
If you would rather donate money, please give that to Denise Malm and that will be used to purchase back packs.
Then come join the fun on August 20 from 4-6:00 pm
What a unique way for us to go into all the world to plant seeds.

“Words of Wisdom from
Jeremiah”
Recently, I’ve been reading from the book of Jeremiah in my daily Bible reading. I thought that I would just share some words from the prophet of God: “Even the stork in the sky knows her appointed seasons, and the dove, the swift and the thrush ob-serve the time of their migration. But my people do not know the require-ments of the Lord. . . .From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit. They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. ‘Peace, peace,’ they say, when there is no peace. Are they ashamed of their loathsome con-duct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush.” Jer. 8:7, 10b-12a “This is what the Lord says; ‘Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,’ declares the Lord.” Jer. 9:23, 24 “I know, O Lord, that a man’s life is not his own; it is not for man to direct his steps.” Jer. 10:23
