Vern and I want to express our appreciation and love for all of you at First Christian Church.
We wintered in Arizona and found a house to call "ours" in Chandler, Arizona. We will be moving there, but will come back to visit several times throughout the year.
We will cherish all the wonderful memories with our church family and your unconditional love for us.
We hope you will keep in touch and are welcome to come visit us at our new home. Our new address will be: 2025 E. County Down Dr. Chandler, AZ 85249
God Bless all of you!
Love, Vern & Janet Rodgers
Rev. Greg & Friends,

CAMP BARBEE 2015!
The youth would like to thank EVERYONE who supported them financially, with prayers and with kind words. They feel blessed and loved to have so much support. When I picked them up from camp the Director said, "You have great kids. They are kind, helpful and filled with the Spirit." I don't think I can add anything more to that!

Community Lunch
Our next Sunday to serve the Community Lunch will be August 16th at noon. It would be very nice to have some new faces help with this important mission project. It is very simple. Sue Dismore will prepare the lunch. We need 6 people to help set up the room at LUM, (located at 420 N. 4th St.) serve the meal and clean up after. We are usually out by 1:30pm. If you have any questions, please call Sue 474-4720 or Michelle 490-9297.
There are several books missing from the Library. If you have borrowed one could you please return it if you are finished. Thank you! Ruby & Rachel
Seeker's Sunday School Class
On Sunday, August 9th, at our usual starting time of 9:05ish (AM) in room 203.5 (actually 203 and 204) the Seekers Class will watch a DVD produced by Frontline and broadcast on PBS called "From Jesus to Christ- The First Christians". Here is a brief overview from the cover of the DVD- "Frontline explores the life of Jesus and the movement he started, challenging familiar assumptions and conventional notions about the origins of Christianity. Drawing upon new and sometimes controversial historical evidence and interviews with the nation's leading New Testament scholars, the series transports the viewer back two thousand years to the time and place where Jesus once lived and preached. The film traces Jesus' life, focusing on the events that occurred after he died and on his first followers, the men women whose belief, conviction , and martyrdom created a major movement that transformed the Roman Empire in the space of only three hundred years." Sounds exciting- hopefully, you'll agree. This series is about 4 hours long- so each Sunday we will spend about 30 minutes to view the video and then discuss what we have seen and learned. I'm sure the information provided and the information we will share in our discussion will be worth the price of admission- which is free!!
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Jim or Jan Rybka or Gary Henriott and remember- all are welcomed to join our little band of fellow travelers!!
