It takes a village:  We can have a mission service right here in our own community!  Help!  To make the Fruit of the Spirit Food Pantry happen the week after Labor Day the following needs to happen...

Collection of the following items:

Cannned meats-tuna, chicken, salmon, stew, chili, etc.

Canned soups, ravioli, spaghetti

Canned fruits, and vegtables

Peanut butter and jelly

Pastas to include macaroni and cheese, hamburger helper, rice dishes

Pasta sauce

Bisquick and other mixes

Healthy cereals and instant oatmeal

Non food items: deodorant, soap, laundry detergent, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes

Monetary donations to be used for food vouchers at Comet

Drop off items in the church garage.  Prayers are appreciated.  We want to show the community that we serve with the fruits of the spirit.  The pantry will be available to anyone in the community anytime the office is open.  We would like to staff the pantry with volunteers on Sunday evenings from 6-8 pmand Mondays from 10-2pm so the community  has contact with children of God! Anyone wanting to decorate the garage with the fruits of the spirit is welcome. It is currently being cleaned out and set up.  If you are called to give, a suggestion would be to place an item or items each week on your own grocery list or donate monetarily a set amount in your budget (even if it is a dollar...there is a box for this either in the office or at the welcome table).

Please forward this e-mail to any family or friends you feel would want to serve as well.This does not have to just be a church mission, but a community one!!!!!  A big special thank you already to those that have helped get to this point: The Council, Pastor, Laura, Jenna, Clyde,  Kay, Comet Warehouse, and God!

Comet will be monitoring the vouchers and reporting any misuse.

Thank you in advance. May God bless this ministry if it is His will.

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.  

If you want to send Pastor Wilson’s Mom a get well wish she is now staying w/Pastor & Judy.

Tithing Envelopes - If you are in need of tithing envelopes please see Diane Gross or call the Church Office @ 814-226-8672.
