Thank You         
Thank You
 Thank you very much to those members of the congregation who generously supported the children and youth from the 
EWG- ministry  for our August Stewardship Sunday. Once again you have done God's work by sponsoring all 27 of the children and youth 
by donating needed Back-to-School items that will help them start school with the necessary supplies and confidence. 

And please remember that you have the opportunity next Sunday, August 14th, to personally give your filled backpack to the child you sponsored 
and are asked to pray for your child during the school year. 
 
(Write a note of thanksgiving on the   
  Attendance form for upcoming weeks)
