“Catch the Spirit—Growing Together in Christ”
11TH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST
* CONFESSION / FORGIVENESS
In the name of the Father, and of the † Son, and of The Holy Spirit. Amen
God of all mercy and consolation, come to the help of your people, turning us from our sin to live for you alone. Give us the power of your Holy Spirit that
we may confess our sin, receive your forgiveness, and grow into the fullness of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
(kneel as able) Most merciful God, we confess that we are captive to
sin and cannot free ourselves. We have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done and by what we
have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we
have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. For the sake of your Son, Jesus Christ, have mercy on us. Forgive us, renew us, and lead
us, so that we may delight in your will and walk in your ways, to the glory of your holy name. Amen
In the mercy of almighty God, Jesus Christ was given to die for us, and for
* APOSTLES’ CREED
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints,

Registration: Starts at 8:30 a.m. Gathering starts at 9:00 a.m. and will be over about 1:00 p.m. Cost: $5.00
Theme: “all anew”
Scripture: Psalm 104:30: “Lord, send forth your spirit…and renew the face of the earth” calls on God to send the Holy Spirit to renew not just God’s people, not just God’s church—but all God’s earth, the creation that God called good.

Offering: To be split between the Northeastern Ohio Synodical Women’s Organization and the Alliance Ministerial Organization.
In-kind gifts: Diapers and wipes; toothpaste and toothbrushes; shampoo and soap to be dispensed through the Alliance food bank. Information packets are on the table in the narthex.
THE CHIMNEY REBUILD PROJECT— STATUS UPDATE
We have finalized the selection of the two brick
colors for the chimney rebuild efforts. Bricks will be
sourced locally through Mathie Supply, Inc. in North Canton by Quality Masonry Company, Inc., our
masonry contractor. It is currently estimated that work on the chimney will begin on September 4,
perhaps a little earlier than this date. Project duration is estimated at four (4) weeks.
Total cost to rebuild the chimney will be $33,930.
As of August 13 our funding efforts have yielded
$23,412, so we are just 22.0% short of our project goal of $30,000. Your continued help is
needed to close the gap in our project fundraising. Thank you for your generous contributions to date.
