RECALL NOTICE: The Maker of all human beings (GOD) is recalling all units manufactured, regardless

of make or year, due to a serious defect in the primary and central component of the

heart. This is due to a malfunction in the original prototype units code named Adam

and Eve, resulting in the reproduction of the same defect in all subsequent units.

This defect has been identified as "Sub sequential Internal Non-morality," more

commonly known as S.I.N., as it is primarily expressed.

Some of the symptoms include:

1. Loss of direction

2. Foul vocal emissions

3. Amnesia of origin

4. Lack of peace and joy

5. Selfish or violent behavior

The Manufacturer, who is neither liable nor at fault for this defect, is providing

factory-authorized repair and service free of charge to correct this defect.

The Repair Technician, JESUS, has most generously offered to bear the entire burden

of the staggering cost of these repairs. There is no additional fee required. The number

to call for repair in all areas is:

P-R-A-Y-E-R.

Once connected, please upload your burden of SIN through the REPENTANCE

procedure. Next, download ATONEMENT from the Repair Technician, Jesus, into

the heart component.

No matter how big or small the SIN defect is, Jesus will replace it with:

1. Love

2. Joy

3. Peace

4. Patience

5. Kindness

Please see the operating manual, the B.I.B.L.E. (BEST Instructions Before Leaving

Earth) for further details on the use of these fixes.

WARNING: Continuing to operate the human being unit without correction voids

any manufacturer warranties, exposing the unit to dangers and problems too numerous

to list, and will result in the human unit being permanently impounded. For free

emergency service, call on Jesus.

DANGER: The human being units not responding to this recall action will have to be

scrapped in the furnace. The SIN defect will not be permitted to enter Heaven so as

to prevent contamination of that facility. Thank you for your attention!

GOD

P.S. - Please assist where possible by notifying others of this important recall notice,

and you may contact the Father any time by 'Knee mail'!

Because HE Lives!

6. Depression or confusion

Oasis Kick-Off Our 12

th year of Oasis will “kick-off” on Wednesday,

September 18, 2013 in the parking lot of the

church with our annual outdoor carnival.

Everyone is welcome to come and be part of

the excitement! Sign-up on the sheet

posted on the bulletin board to

volunteer.

Participate in …Oasis Year 12!

This year we plan to study “The Story” and learn how

God’s Story is My Story. We have wonderful resources

from preschool through adult. We will be doing the

adult study using video that we used in Sunday School

two years ago. We have purchased copies of “The

Story” for adults so anyone who participates and wants a

copy can have one. Please consider joining this evening

Bible Study on Wednesday nights. We would love you

to come for dinner, stay for the one hour study and

participate in the evening closing with the children.

There are so many ways you can be a part

of this ministry: Some are weekly, others

periodically, and still others completely

behind the scenes (like donating and

praying!). We will have sign-up sheets

posted soon for you to indicate your

interests. Please prayerfully consider how

you can be involved. If you’ve never come

to see what your church is doing on

Wednesday evenings… come and see!

Jesus is calling…

There are so many ways you can be a part of this

ministry:

1 more Greeter to be there 5:40 – 6:10 to greet children

as they arrive. Mark Good is taking charge of this, but

would appreciate help!

1-2 people to supervise dismissal at 8:00 p.m. – perfect

for someone planning to participate in the adult Bible

Study.

1-2 people to supervise activities before dinner This

would require coming at 5:45 when we open the doors

and supervising games and activities children can do

before dinner at 6.

Cooks and Kitchen helpers – this can be weekly or just

once in awhile. Sign up to prepare one or more meals.

See the sign-up sheet on the bulletin board.

Leader for 4-6th grade boys group

This is a weekly commitment and you will have an

assistant leader. “The Story” resources make planning

easy!

Group Helpers – Several groups need someone to assist

the leader: Young children grades K-1, (mixed boys and

girls), Young children grades 2-3 (mixed boys/girls),

Mid-age girls (4-6),

Table buddies – Be a “buddy” along with other adults to

an entire table of children. You can pick which group

you would like to be a buddy for.

If you are interested in any of the above, speak to Barb

Mayfield, or send her an e-mail:

barb.mayfield@gmail.com

I'm continuing the withdrawal

of books from the library, still

asking if there are any that you

would want for your collections

that were gifts, etc. These books

will be donated to Carroll Manor

and St. Elizabeth Healthcare, if

accepted. Otherwise, they will be donated to the

Flora Library for their collection or for their annual

book sale. There will be a display of books for

reading during the Autumn time and I hope the

Oasis folks take note!

We extend special thanks to

Virginia Smith and Janis Burns

for all the work they did to make the quilt

with embroidered parishioner names as a

gift from the church to Pastor Chuck and

Myra upon his retirement. Due to

Virginia’s illness, the partially completed

quilt was displayed at the July 28th

worship

service and has now been finished and

presented to the Compton’s.
