Hello! I hope everyone had a good week. I also hope you are having a relaxing weekend. I wanted to remind you of some things taking place this week. Remember to mark the dates on your calendar so you don't miss anything!

There will be a Children's Committee meeting tomorrow, July 22nd in the gym at 4pm.

The youth are heading to Whirlin' Waters Adventure Waterpark Friday, July 27th. This sounds like it will be lots of fun! Come and bring a friend or two!

Don't forget about TAN (Tuesdays at North) from 10am-1pm. This activity is for children grades 1st-5th.

Ladies: don't forget about craft night each Tuesday from 6:30-9:30pm. All ladies are invited and encouraged to attend. Work continues on the crafts being made for the bazaar we are having in December. Proceeds will go toward the purchase of a new church bus.

The message for Sunday morning July 22nd is entitled "The Man and His Miracles: Have You Been Waiting Long?". Scripture is John 5:1-15. The message for the evening service is entitled "Signs of the Times: The Center of the Universe". Scripture is Zech. 12:2-3.

If you haven't seen the Trade Journal from this past week..........you missed seeing our youth and MOS and his wife in the paper. They wrote on article about the trip to SummerSalt. It certainly is wonderful to see our youth on fire for God!

We had another young lady in our congregation who was mentioned in the Trade Journal this past week. She was granted a scholarship. She plans to attend USC to major in nursing. Way to go! Keep up the good work!

There was an article in the Trade Journal 2 weeks ago regarding another one of our young adults. She was speaking of how different people influenced her over the years and what being a teacher means to her. It certainly takes a special person to be a teacher. My mom taught for 30+ years. I am sure it is a very rewarding career, especially when the students you teach go on to become successful adults. We need good teachers in our schools and parents need to be supportive of the teacher. It is not an easy job they have. My hat goes off to anyone in the profession. Teachers also have a unique responsibility of touching the life of student in a way no other person can. You never really realize this until you get older. Then you find yourself looking back and the character traits you possess due to a former teacher. I was blessed to have such wonderful teachers in school and in church!

I believe that covers all I have for now. Until next time, take care and God bless!

Love in Christ,

Tina :-)
