Last Week of Collection Drive; Heaven, Hell, & the End of the World; Theological Seminar (Pastoral Emphasis for 8/11)

Today's reading from the Chronological Reading Plan: Jeremiah 14-17

This is the last week to bring in back to school supplies and toiletries for West Cary Middle School and the Home for Children in Oxford.  See each zone's requested items listed above the designated collection boxes and on the flyers available at the Welcome Center.  The collection drive will end on Saturday.

For Christians and non-Christians alike, the topics of heaven, hell, and the end of the world provoke curiosity, confusion, joy, hope, fear, anticipation, or even anger.  So what does the Bible say about these things?  We are starting a new Bible Study series, "Heaven, Hell, and the End of the World" on this Wednesday, August 14th, at 7:00pm. Join us and bring a friend for this exciting study.

Don't forget to register for our third quarterly theological seminar on Saturday, August 17th, from 9 to 11 am. Dr. Stephen Eccher, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, will be speaking on Church History. Come out, bring a friend, and learn how the church has developed over time into various denominations.

Latrell Perry shared a brief testimony of his time in Ecuador.  He shared how amazing it was that after the youth missionaries did their skits and dances, they could pray for the young Ecuadorians.  This is just more evidence that God can and will use youth! Latrell encouraged our other youth to considering going on a short-term mission trip.

When a need arose in the early church, they would meet that need even if they had to sell stuff.  That's how a church family should be.  We need each other.  We have a family in our church that is in need so the love offering on next Sunday will go to help this family.  Please come prepared to give generously to the love offering next Sunday.
