~ We welcome Ken Hillmer as our Guest Speaker today and look forward to hearing what God has laid on his heart for us this morning.

~ We are extremely short-staffed for our fellowship time after church. Only today is covered for August so far so we really need a bit of help this month. Please remember that if you sign up for working in the kitchen, you don’t have to bake also – you can call someone on the list of willing bakers, who aren’t able to work in the kitchen. So please sign up and call someone on the list who will make some goodies for you if you like. But remember that it is vacation time and a lot of people are away, so if you don’t get the first one or two on your list, keep trying – you will get someone! If no one signs up, there will be no fellowship time next week.
