Good morning,

I have totally lost interest in my garden.  I’m tired of weeding and trying to keep the woods at bay.  Luckily Robert Mosher doesn’t feel like I do.  He has been working at the church this past week spreading mulch.  Oscar Boismier, Jim Keeney, Bill Wilson and Kebede Daka also helped.  Thanks to all of you to help make our church look so good. 

Kaline Shaw is an Adventist graduate student who plans to attend MSU this fall.  She will like to obtain housing with an Adventist family or roommate.  If you or someone you know are interested in accomodating Kaline, please call her at 401-368 1688.  Thanks. 

Edna Walkup was transferred out to the Okemos Rehab Facility 5895 Marsh Rd. on Monday June 19th.  She has the same room # 422 and her phone # is the same 1- 517 -319 -1522.  She would appreciate your cards, visits and prayers. 

Audio CDs are made each week of Pastor Shin’s sermon.  These are available after the service in the foyer.  They are a great to give away to your friends.  If you would like to donate to this ministry, please put your donation in a tithe envelope marked CDs.

Pastor David will be out of town serving as the camp pastor at family at Camp AuSable in Graying, Michigan next week from July 25-August 1. If you have any visitation needs or church related items contact our head elder Wilson Ndovie at 327-2961

We will be having VBS at the University Church from August 9th-13th at 6pm. There will also be having a special feature on Sabbath, August 14th before the sermon time. If you have any questions or would like to volunteer – please contact Valarie Bellas at: 517-507-2424.  We are so lucky that Valerie is willing to lead out in this evangelistic effort for our children.  Please support her with volunteering, bringing children and your prayers. 

Those who will be going to the nursing home on Sabbath afternoon, please bring a dish to pass for lunch.  Hope you can join in this monthly ministry.

Quote of the Week:

The soul may ascend nearer heaven on the wings of praise. God is worshiped with song and music in the courts above, and as we express our gratitude we are approximating to the worship of the heavenly hosts. “Whoso offereth praise glorifieth” God. Psalm 50:23. Let us with reverent joy come before our Creator, with “thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.” Isaiah 51:3.  {SC 104.1}

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

I’m on vacation next weekend.  Pastor David will be sending out the email. 

Blessings,

Mary
