Good morning,

I was in a Hallmark card store last week and they were putting up the Christmas ornament display.  That must mean that summer is half over! 

Some member news:  Mike, Nancy and Sharon Rann will be moving to Arizona (like it isn’t hot enough here!) before the end of the month.  Mike has a job transfer.  Edna Walkup has had hip surgery and is at the Pennsylvania Campus of Ingham Medical.  And Sandy and Mick Firestone are in Puerto Rico visiting her mother who has had a stroke. 

Last night was church board meeting.  A couple of things you might be interested in.  The church ended the fiscal year in the black.  Thank you for your continued generosity to our combined budget.  We have also sponsored a student at Great Lakes Academy this past year.   If you would like to assist in that project, please mark your tithe envelope “Student Aid” or “Worthy Student”. 

Quote of the Week:

There is no chapter in our experience too dark for Him to read; there is no perplexity too difficult for Him to unravel. No calamity can befall the least of His children, no anxiety harass the soul, no joy cheer, no sincere prayer escape the lips, of which our heavenly Father is unobservant, or in which He takes no immediate interest. “He health the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3. The relations between God and each soul are as distinct and full as though there were not another soul upon the earth to share His watchcare, not another soul for whom He gave His beloved Son.  {SC 100.1}

This Sabbath, Pastor David will be continuing in his series out of the book of Philippians. Join us for worship and fellowship!

See you tomorrow,

Mary
