ANNOUNCEMENTS

SUMMER SUNDAY MORNING ADULT BIBLE CLASS: HEROES OF THE FAITH Bible Class will continue to meet through September 30th for all adults in the Fellowship Hall. Each study is independent of the others; so if you miss a week you won’t feel behind.  Pastor Fausel and Paul Nickel facilitate the class.

RADIO MINISTRY CHANGED: Our Sunday morning, “Music and a Message” will be aired ONLY on 1080 AM - WKJK at 9:30 AM each Sunday morning.

TODAY IN SUNDAY SCHOOL: “God Reverses the Sun’s Shadow” (2 Kings 20: 1-11 and Isaiah 38:1-8); King Hezekiah and God’s miraculous answer to his prayers. A family-talk topic might discuss times when prayers have been answered. A question might be “What sign did God give that He would answer Hezekiah’s prayer? What signs do we have that Jesus’ forgiveness is certain?”

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY: We have a financial commitment of $8,000; as well as, a strong commitment of prayers and physical laborers to meet. Please sign up on the church bulletin board on days you can assist. July 28th is the next Saturday for Our Savior workers, so if you can help please sign up on the bulletin board in the church lobby.
