WELCOME BACK HOME
We were delighted last Sunday morning when a letter was read from Rich & Julie Daley expressing their desire to identify with the St.C. church family and to work under the oversight of our shepherds. They have recently returned to the area after living 25 years in northern Ohio. We are happy to have them back with us and look forward to many years of serving with them in the body. They along with their daughter, Amanda Morgan, and her two children, Tyler and Alexis will be in Care Group A.

CAMP CONCERN
Brad and several of our youth, ages 13 & 14, will be leaving for Camp Concern this afternoon. Let’s pray that they have a spiritually uplifting and safe week. The week for ages 11 & 12 will begin next Sunday. Don’t forget to let us know of any awards your child wins at any church camp this summer. Write their name, award, name of the camp and week of camp on a card and give it to Joyce by August 8. We want to publish in the bulletin in mid-August.

In only 3 weeks, our VBS will begin—Aug. 8-12.

Contact Dennie Green, if you would like to help in any way.
HELP WITH VBS FOOD ITEMS NEEDED
If you would like to make a cash donation to help with the purchase of the food items for VBS, please give your money to Kathy Green. You can make checks payable to her also.
There will be a meeting today at 5:00 in the MP Room for anyone who would like to help prepare or serve the food.
WEDNESDAY ADULT CLASS SERIES
The summer series in the Wednesday Adult Class has been outstanding so far. In this week’s study, “Go Back…Be Persistent,” Kyle Sowinski will lead the class using Acts 5:20 as his beginning text.
WAYS TO MINISTER TO OTHERS
We are still collecting cartridges from Inkjets and Faxes to help with the support of the children who reside at the Shulz-Lewis Children’s Home.
“Box Tops for Education” and “Campbell’s Labels for Education” are needed by Mid-Western Children’s Home. Only the UPC label is necessary. To save time and shipping expense, please cut the label out before placing them in the box in the hallway.
Please place the items in the appropriate containers on the table in the hallway.
IN SEARCH OF THE LORD’S WAY
Phil Sanders’ announced topic for next Sunday’s lesson is “The Way of A Fool.” The broadcast can be seen locally every Sunday at 7:30 a.m. on WTRF-TV, ch. 7.
