Carl Fredricksen (Ed Asner), a 78-year-old balloon salesman, is about to fulfill a lifelong dream. Tying thousands of balloons to his house, he flies away to the South American wilderness.

MESSAGE FROM FR. DAVID
This Sunday, July 30th is the 5th Sunday of the month, and a time when we will celebrate both Morning Prayer and Eucharist. We do this for several reasons; one specifically to experience the tradition of our Episcopal heritage and two, to give some practice to our Lay-Officiants who can lead a service of Morning Prayer in the absence of a priest.

FALL CONFIRMATION AND RECEPTION 
Please see Fr. David if interested
There will be dates for confirmation and reception later this fall. I encourage those who missed confirmation in the spring and members from other traditions who desire to be received into the Episcopal Church to participate in these opportunities.
"Episcopalians & the Episcopal Church" : This inquirer's class will be led by Fr. David and will address the Episcopal expression of Christian identity. This class is primarily intended to prepare those wishing to receive the sacrament of confirmation or reception into the Episcopal Church at the regional confirmations scheduled for October and November, but all are welcome! We'll get into our history, our understanding of the Bible and the tenants of Episcopal faith. This will meet on a weekday evening for an hour and half. The starting date and day of the week yet to be announced.
The Confirmation/Reception dates are set with specific locations yet to be announced:
- Oct. 22, 2017 at 2 pm in the Southern Deanery (Springfield/Joplin and surrounding area)
- Nov. 2, 2017 at 7 pm in the Northwest Deanery (Kansas City/St Joe and surrounding area

EVENING BIBLE STUDY?
Please see Fr. David if interested
Fr. David would like to start a weekday evening bible study that address different biblical topics and encourage discussion about how the bible relates to current events. If you are interested please email him at
[email protected]
He would also welcome your suggestions of biblical topics and which evening and time would work for you. Current thinking is to meet on Wednesdays at 6:30 pm for one and a half to two hours for 6-8 weeks. We would not meet on the 2nd Wednesday because of the monthly Vestry meeting.

FINDING FAITH THROUGH FICTION BOOK CLUB 
Monday, August 7 at 7 pm
The
Finding Faith Through Fiction Book Club will not meet in July. The next meeting will be at the church on Monday, August 7 at 7 pm to discuss the novel
A Morbid taste for Bones by Ellis Peters.
A Welsh Benedictine monk living at Shrewsbury Abbey in western England, Brother Cadfael spends much of his time tending the herbs and vegetables in the garden-but now there's a more pressing matter. Cadfael is to serve as translator for a group of monks heading to the town of Gwytherin in Wales. The team's goal is to collect the holy remains of Saint Winifred, which Prior Robert hopes will boost the abbey's reputation, as well as his own. But when the monks arrive in Gwytherin, the town is divided over the request.
