Most Merciful God,
We come to you humbly and with grateful hearts, thanking you for our many blessings. Lead us, O God, into places where we can multiply these blessings by sharing them.
In Jesus name, AMEN.

“Welcome Home!” to Nancy and Butch Phillips. They joined our congregation during the R & R service yesterday.

The Young Adult fundraiser luncheon yesterday was a great success. Thank you for your support.

The Young Adults (and anyone who wants to help) will gather at the church this coming Saturday, August 28, to do a work project for a 94 year old man whose wife is in a nursing home. We are going to mow his yard, trim hedges, and clean up his back yard. We will meet at the church at 9:00 a.m.

After the funeral today I am taking the rest of the week as vacation. If there is an emergency I can be reached on my cell phone 402-2522.

Grace and peace,

John McLemore
