Thanks to all who came out to Back to School Conference! A lot of great information was given and we prayed over our children for another successful school year. We still have some great info available on Wake County schools for parents at the Welcome Center.

Attention, All Youth (13-17) and Young Adults (18 and up): The Youth Ministry is sponsoring an outreach opportunity with Dorcas Thrift Shop (Cary) on Saturday, August 9th, from 9:00am to 12:00pm. We are expected to have at least 12-14 volunteers available to support.  Have you signed up yet? Please take time to sign up today.  See Brother Ellery and Sister Rasheeda Oliver for details.

Minister Matt Darby shared his testimony about Ecuador.  He reminded us to not just look for the miraculous, external things as a sign of God working.  God is working even when it doesn't appear that way.  We are to be faithful and do what God has called us to do and leave the results to God.

1 Corinthians 3:5-8 (ESV): "What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor."

As of Friday evening, the confirmed death toll in Texas has risen to 129, with at least 150 individuals still missing across the state.

Was it the fault of the warning system not being early enough? Was it the fault of the government (state and federal)? Was it the fault of God?

Humanity decided to rebel against the Creator God, thereby, ushering in sin and the fall from God's perfect creation. Natural disasters happen because we live in a fallen world ravaged by sin. Natural disasters like these floods are trag...
