JUST A THOUGHT…I hope you’ll take some special time to be with family and/or friends this weekend. Many will have the opportunity to be home from work and available for fellowship. See them. Love on them. Make this a special time together.
Sunday, Father Ernie Saik will be with us. I’ll be bringing the message, but he’ll be leading us in a special time of Communion. He’ll also update us on the work being done in south Louisiana. I hope you’ll be present for this special time together.
Have a great weekend, and I’ll see you on the first day of the week as we gather around the Communion Table of Grace...

BRING YOUR SOCKS ON SUNDAY!We’re bringing socks! For the next two weeks, we’ll be gathering socks (men’s and women’s) for distribution at local organizations. Look for the container at the Missions Corner on September 4 & 11.
UPWORDS“There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire within a bush.
Moses saw that although the bush was on fire, it did not burn up. So Moses thought, `I will go over and see this strange sight – why the bush does not burn up.’ When
the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, `Moses! Moses!’ And Moses said, `Here am I.’” (Exodus 3:2-4).
QUOTE OF THE WEEK“If you’re going through hell – keep moving!”
(Winston Churchill).
KNOW YOUR BIBLEThe only miracle mentioned in all four Gospels is when He fed the 5000 (plus) people (Matthew15:28-39; Mark 6:30-44; Luke 9:10-17; John 6:1-17).

“HOW TO DEAL”NEW SERMON SERIES
Many times in life we react to what’s happening around us. Some of those situations are of our own doing, while others catch us off guard. This short series of messages will speak to us about those things in life that come our way – and what does the Bible say to them.
We’re going to learn – from a biblical perspective – “HOW TO DEAL” with Misfortune, Temptation, Aging, Anger, Disappointment, Failure and Fear.
August 21“How to Deal with Misfortune”
August 28“How to Deal with Anger”
September 11“How to Deal with Failure”
September 18“How to Deal with Fear”
September 25“How to Deal with Aging”
The Bible is our Guide. The Bible is our Survival Kit. The Bible is our Companion – for Everyday and Eternal Life. Invite your friends to be a part of this very practical series.
TRIVIAL PURSUITSThe little lump of flesh just forward of your ear canal, right next to your temple, is called a “tragus.”
CHILDREN’S MINISTRYBe a part of our Children’s Hour! Our children have certain needs and attention spans, and we’re moving to address that need. If you’re interested in helping in this most important ministry, just see me or Tina Butterfield or Jennifer Winslett on Sunday. And bring your children on Sunday. A Sign-Up Sheet is available!
OUR DAILY BREADNinety percent (90%) of all Christians have never read the Bible through. Amazing!
We’re read the Bible through as a Church Family…chronologically, that is, as it occurs. The Bible does not come to us historically year by year, but moves about – History, Wisdom & Poetry, Prophecy, Gospels, Letters, Revelation. We’ll be reading about three chapters a day and we’ll see the presentation of God’s love to us throughout history…
Monday, September 5: Ezekiel 1-4; Tuesday, September 6: Ezekiel 5-8; Wednesday, September 7: Ezekiel 9-12; Thursday, September 8: Ezekiel 13-15; Friday, September 9: Ezekiel 16-17; Saturday, September 10: Ezekiel 18-19; Sunday, September 11: Ezekiel 20-21.
CROSS CHURCH MISSIONS OPPORTUNITIESLittle Things Can Mean a Lot
Pill BottlesIn developing third-world nations, there aren’t enough pill bottles to go around. It’s often that tissue paper is used to wrap up medicine (pills & tablets) to send home with patients. Wonder what to do with your empty pill bottles when they’re empty? Peel off the personal information label and bring them with you to Church. We’ll gather them up and send along to Matthew 25:Ministries for distribution.
That’s all you have to do to make a big difference in someone’s life. Thanks!
Hotel SundriesGather up those hotel soaps and shampoos and bring them to Church with you. These small contributions make a big difference in the life of a family with immediate personal needs through our local homeless shelters.
Soda Can TabsSoda can tabs make a difference in a child’s life at St. Jude’s Hospital in Memphis. We all know someone whose life has been altered at St. Jude’s. Bring those tabs along with you each week for recycling!
PRAYER REQUESTSLet’s talk about prayer requests…If you have any prayer requests you’d like to share with our group – and I know not all prayer requests ought to be made public – send them along to me, along with their relation to you (Example: Don Porter, Cousin to Steve Fowler). I’ll post them here and we can know where our hearts are coming from on a regular basis.
