From the Pastor...
Jeremiah 29:11-14 (NRSV) 11 For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans for your welfare and not for
harm, to give you a future with hope. 12 Then when you call upon me and come and pray to me,
I will hear you. 13 When you search for me, you will find me; if you seek me with all your heart.
Dear Paw Creek Presbyterian Church Family,
Jeremiah the prophet delivered a message to the people of Israel when they were exiled into Bab-
ylon. Because of their sinfulness the Lord told them they were to be subjugated under the rule of
King Nebuchadnezzar and they would be so for seventy years. It was the beginning of the rule
Babylon would have over those who were exiled. Things looked really bleak for them. They
were subjected to mistreatment, pagan gods, a foreign land, and new rule. But God loved the
Israelites even though they were sinful and God prophesied to them through Jeremiah.
Yes, the people were to endure tough times ahead. Seventy years of separation from their homes,
friends, family, familiar surroundings. Yes, they would have to live out their punishment, but
God promised them that when the time was over, and if the people sought Him out with all of
their hearts, open and true, God would bring them back. God had a plan for them, but they had
to have a change of heart and a change of behavior, and God would hear them.
This is good news for us. When we find ourselves in the bleakest moment, days, weeks or even
years in our lives, if we have led sinful lives or done sinful things, God is never far from us. All
God asks is for us to repent, turn to Him, ask forgiveness truly, and God will answer us and de-
liver us from all that holds us captive. Change your heart and change your character. Then seek
God’s favor and God will deliver you, free you up from all unrighteousness. God has a plan for
you! Trust and believe.
Love in Christ,
Rev. Veronica Cannon

Applicants may apply twice for this yearly scholarship. (Scholarships are awarded based on the number of applicants and the funds available each year.) Application forms for this scholarship are found in the Narthex and the Church Office. Beside the application form, you must also provide proof of admission to the college, university, or technical institution that you will or are attending when you submit the application. Must be a current active member of Paw Creek Church to apply. The deadline to apply for a scholarship is July 31, 2017. For questions, please contact Frances Lyerly or Celia Gray.

Clean out your home, or anywhere else you may have been storing stuff for years and donate it to the church! We will offer a place to store these things in room 100 (downstairs in the East Wing) and have a Yard Sale on July 22, in the CFC, to raise money for the new playground.
If you would like to help set up or run the yard sale, please contact Victoria Krebs.
Mark your calendars! Vacation Bible School is right around the corner (July 9-13)! We will be studying "Hearing God's Call" and talking about how God has called us, both as a church and as individuals. We will have food, fun, and fellowship for all ages. We hope to see you there!
We need a few donations for this event: paper towel tubes, glass jars (various sizes), battery operated tea light candles, empty Altoid containers. Please give donations to Jan Chapman, Victoria Krebs, or Barbara Ullem.
