“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of gods, His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords, His love endures forever!” – Psalm 136
Have you thanked God today for the many ways He has blessed you?
Take a moment to consider the many ways God has cared for you
and as you reflect consider saying a very simple prayer, “Thank you!”

Next Week
One characteristic of those who walk the PCH highway is
peace. We find peace through prayer. We find peace
through keeping the right mindset as we face life’s circum-
stances. What we choose to pray about and put our mind on
impacts our view of the world. Join us as Pastor Carol
walks us down the road and we discover how to live in a
house of peace.
We only have one worship service on campus at 10:00 am during the summer.
The Altar Flowers are
in honor of
