Crying Shame we don't have anything to do around here. 

So come on over and help stir the pot, and
join in the fun and fellowship.

The Lord (Patch) Has Need of You

First - a GREAT BIG THANKS to all our Pumpkin Truck Unloaders. Done in record time and our front yard looks great. Again, thanks to all who helped us out. If you missed, don't pout, there will be other trucks to unload.

But, what we need now is a few folks who can help us out during the Field Trips by reading a book to the kids. We have one a day, but most days we need two people who can read a story to the kids on the trips. If you can, call the office or Joyce Henson at 984-6440.

Wow, just a month before we are back to our Wednesday night suppers and Bible studies.

The Christian Academy for adults and children will begin on September 7th and offer three different classes this fall. Melissa Bowen will facilitate a 12-week “Marriage Enrichment” series and Pastor Chris will start a 6-week study on “John’s Letters to the Seven Churches in Chapters 2 and 3 of Revelation”.

Something new this fall—classes on nutrition and exercise. The classes will focus on our theme of “living a healthier lifestyle” by planning and cooking healthier meals and exercise programs geared to each person’s physical needs and abilities.
