Homebuilders—Summer 2014
Parenting by the Book:  Biblical Wisdom for Raising Your Child  By John Rosemond
Parenting today is hard.  Where do we find answers to help us with our problems in parenting?  There are  nearly 50,000 books on parenting in print today.  Of those 50,000 books, how do we know which ones will help us be the best parents we can be? 
Nationally syndicated columnist John Rosemond argues that many of the problems modern parents have today are due to the fact that we have strayed from a shared sense of truth – the truth that is only found in the       Bible.  We have complicated parenting, while the Bible simplifies it.
Do you feel like you need help as a parent?  Are there questions you have and you wonder if you’re doing the right thing?  Come join the Homebuilders class this summer and learn that ALL OF US struggle as parents and are trying to do the right things in raising our kids.  What a blessing it is to have a group of people working this out together, with the Word of God as our guide!  Please join us.  
For more information or if you’d like us to order you a book, please call Matt & Jenny Bates at 814-764-6056.

Mission Trip to Jamaica 2014
It’s time to start planning for Jamaica!   If you would like an opportunity to serve God on the mission field and are ready for a life-changing adventure, we invite you on a one-week mission trip to Harmons, Jamaica.  We’re working with an organization called Won by One to Jamaica to plan a trip for our church August 10-17, 2014.  Anyone age 13 and over is welcome.
Harmons is a small mountain village of 3,000 people in south central Jamaica.  It’s an impoverished community with around 75% unemployment.  Quality medical treatment is lacking and money for basic needs is limited.  One practical objective of our trip will be to help alleviate some of the physical hardships the citizens of Harmons experience every day.
Our jobs there may include tasks such as:
*constructing houses
*carrying marl (basic ingredient for making concrete) 
*helping at “Blessings In Store,” a second-hand store created by the Won by One ministry, now run by local Jamaicans
*repairing homes
*assisting school teachers
Now is the time to make a commitment to going on the trip.  If you are interested, please see Matt & Jenny Bates at the table in the church foyer.  A $100 per person deposit will be required to secure your spot.  Each team member must raise an additional $1,350 to cover trip expenses (airfare, ground transportation, meals/accommodations, etc.)  Passport not included.  The deposit will be due September 15.  If you have questions, contact Matt & Jenny Bates at 814-764-6056 or at - mrbates_2000@yahoo.com
