Community Carnival
Thank you
Thank you to our many volunteers who helped to make last Saturday's Community Carnival a success! Young and old alike enjoyed the games, bounce house, and dunk tank. Thanks to the generosity of carnival-goers, we raised $46 for UMCOR U.S. disaster relief, as well as donations to help off-set the cost of food. Congratulations to the winner of the iPad Mini 2 16GB!

Starters
Please set aside time each day to pray for 2-3 minutes. This week's prayer starter is:
Giver of Grace, thank you for Jesus. Thank you for the cross. Thank you for this amazing gift of grace I do not deserve. Help me to show grace to everyone my life brushes up against without exception...
