Pat Lipper CHUM Volunteer How lucky we are to have Pat Lipper as a part of our “army of volunteers” at CHUM. Pat has been attending College Hill since the 1980’s and her preferred service is the 8:30am Service. Pat is currently working on the WSU Event Staff and she held jobs as a hospital escort and a postal pre-sorter in her earlier working career. Pat volunteers at CHUM with the food pantry, in the office on Thursday afternoons and Saturday mornings, as a greeter and with the Prairie Land Food distribution. She also helps with meals for funerals and weddings. Pat is a busy lady! She also works at the voting polls during election time - a very long day! What you might not know about Pat is that as a little girl she was neighbors with Faye and Kathryne Schmoker (also long time members of CHUM). Thanks Pat for all you do!
Library Collecting Books for Children in Paraguay Wichita Public Library, Trees for Life, and Kansas Paraguay Partners are joining hands on a project that will run August 19 - September 30. They are asking for new, or lightly used, Spanish-language books for the children of San Marcos Elementary School in Luque, Paraguay. These can be dropped off at any Wichita Public Library location. See our community bulletin board for more details on this project. Financial donations can be made at www.treesforlife.org.
Doormat Orders Being Taken Now As the Mission team begins to plan their trip to Cookson Hills with all the Christmas In July donations, they are also planning to return home with all doormats we order. These popular mats are made by recycling used car tires into doormats which gives jobs to recovering addicts and former offenders. The orders are needed by Sunday, September 7 and will be ready for pickup Monday, October 13. You have 3 sizes to choose from and a wide variety of bead colors too. The costs are $10, $15, or $20. Stop by the church office for an order form.

Spelling Bee Congratulations to Joan Buenten for taking second place in the Greater Wichita Senior Spelling Bee this past week. Other participants from CHUM included Phil Coleman and Mike Owings. Madgie Hinners, Marilyn McKee, and Neil & Doris Lusk were involved behind the scenes. After the initial 50 words were given for the handwritten spelling test, a total of 16 people were selected to play in the oral portion of the contest. Joan Buenten and Phil Coleman were two of the sixteen. Joan came in second and Phil did an awesome job. Good seeing Chum so well represented. The spelling bee was sponsored by Life Ventures. Holiday Open House Tour We are looking for volunteers to open their homes this year for our Annual Holiday Home Tour. We would love to have 4 homes never before on the tour. The date selected for this fun event would be Sunday, December 7th. Please contact the church office if you are willing to participate. All money raised in ticket sales goes towards the purchase of CHUM TV ads.

AGAPE, Rm. 201 - We had interesting conversations after taking a quiz on what
type of money handling traits we have. Thank you Papineau's for hosting a fun
pool party on a HOT Sunday afternoon. Happy birthday to Bill this
week. Hahn's treat next.
ARCHITECTS, Rm. B1 – LaVerne handled the business part of class in Lilaha’s
absence. Elmer Keech’s birthday was today (8/17) so we sang him “Happy
Birthday”. We’ve heard from Jacque Herzet and she was hoping to get back
before too long. We miss her! Neil visited Enid and she is doing better and
hopes to get back home soon. Mission Sunday is 8/24 since we won’t have class
on 8/31. We will meet at CHUM on Sept. 4 at 8:30am to prepare lunches for
240 people at the Open Door Homeless Shelter. Don’t forget! Neil handled the
TV for the movie “Heaven Is For Real” and we have 2 more segments to view.
This is so meaningful and our discussion was great. Continued prayers for ill and
shut ins.
BUILDERS, Rm. 305 - Continuing The Roma of Europe so be sure to read
Chapter 3, page 34, for Sunday. Joan has treats Sunday. Keep Royce Morgan in
your prayers as he is fighting infection as well as Charlie M.
COMMUNICATORS, Rm. 301 - Calendar - Meet and Greet on Sept. 21.

Vision, by John Shelby Spong, is available for $12 in the church office or in
class. After viewing Roundtable on "What is the Kingdom of God?" by John
Dominic Crossan and Craig Evans, tabletalk focused on if the kingdom of God
ideas are important and what do they have to do with the way we live. Sunday,
"Was Jesus Raised From the Dead?"
DOUBLE CIRCLE, Rm. B4 - Class opened with everyone expressing their
everyday feelings. Moe read a card from Brian & Mike thanking us for the
indoor picnic we held in the Parlor. Betty had no illness to report. John B. had a
great 101st birthday - good living John! Tom’s daughter, Sheila, gave devotions.
She is taking care of Tom (Ha Ha!) while Candy takes a few days of vacation.
Brian gave a wonderful lesson from Corinthians. It was very good, thanks Brian!
There were 12 in attendance.
TRAVELING COMPANIONS, Chapel @ 11:00am - Join us for discussion on
spiritual development and personal growth.
VICEROY, Rm. B3 - Marcus Borg said about his conventional Christianity, "My big question was where would I spend eternity?" Then in college the notion of one "right" way seeing things disappeared. In his home town both religion and politics were divided, one on the right side of the tracks and one on the wrong. It was in college he became convinced that what is meant by "God" is real and sometimes known. We discussed where we fit in these concepts.

Registration forms are available in the church office, on the children’s ministry bulletin board and in the church nursery. If you have any questions, please contact Rev.
