Our next Church Family Meeting is Monday at 7:00pm. All members are asked to be present. We will be presenting a new way of doing our shepherding ministry instead of by alphabet (I will blog about this later). Outreach Caregiver event is Saturday Sept 18th from 10am-2pm. Kits will contain items (flashlight, washcloths, petroleum jelly, etc) for those that help care for dying aids patients. Many of these kits will be shipped to 3rd world countries, but will be used all over the world where aids assistance is needed. We got new info about the kit assembly.

In conjunction with this event, Pastor John's (from Uganda) orphanage cares for children whose parents have died from AIDS. Our church family is being asked to seek God about sponsoring a child in Uganda at the orphanage. To read about the children, see their picture, and sign up for sponsorship,...

Dads, how is the summer reading plan going? For those who missed it, we are reading through the Gospel of John with our kids. If you have small children like me (or even teenagers), I want to offer you this encouragement: even if your kids don't seem to understand or want to pay attention, keep reading God's Word to them. Romans 10:17 (NLT): "So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ." So let's keep reading the Good News about Christ as it is revealed by John and pray for the development of faith in our children.
