SUNDAY'S SCRIPTURE Matthew 6: 25-34 When your feathers start to fall.

VBS and All Church Mission Project for July Our VBS kids are excited about supporting "Shoes That Grow" and invite the entire church to join in! Hundreds of thousands of refugees are in need of basic necessities. Shoes That Grow are life changing for children who have no shoes or have to wear shoes that are too small. They expand 5 sizes and can last for years! See the shoes for yourself at church they are amazing!  We are continuing our partnership with SCM ( Salaam Medical Missions). SCM is doubling our impact by matching donations through July, and our Community Programs is offering to double our donations as well!  Our goal: to raise $750 (50 pairs of shoes for $15 each) which would triple to provide 150 pairs of shoes to refugee children. If you are able please drop cash or a check in the designated “Shoes That Grow” basket, donate funds during church offering with “Shoes that Grow” on the memo line, or talk to Debby or Benjamin Heimfeld.

I’m writing to you this morning from one of the most beautiful spots in our area, the Redmond Watershed Access area! For two years now, Cyndy and I have wanted to explore this little area but have somehow been stymied. The first time we entered the area we had our dog, Sugar. As we hopped out of the car a hiker near by informed us that dogs weren’t allowed. The second time we were about to get out of the car when Cyndy and I both read the sign about bears. click to read more....
