Rumble strips serve an important and obvious need, but just like real estate, it's all about location, location, location.
Knowing where to place our boundaries is important to keeping things moving and healthy. This Sunday is week two of
Rumble Strips
;
we'll be focusing on some helpful guidelines in scripture for establishing boundaries in our most important relationships.
Pastor Nick will be speaking in the Sanctuary for the Traditional Worship services; Pastor Trevor will be speaking in the Auditorium for the Contemporary Worship services. We're looking forward to seeing you on Sunday!

Circles Orientation
As many of you know, we are partnering with Circles USA as part of an initiative to better understand the problem of poverty so we can more effectively solve poverty in our community and minister to those affected by it. Circles USA is a program intent on inspiring and equipping families and communities to thrive and resolve poverty. By engaging individuals as well as societies, institutions and communities, Circles USA strives to establish a healthy environment for lasting prosperity and support for those struggling with poverty.
We will be hosting 4 orientations for those interested in learning more about Circles Lexington County and how they get involved in this initiative. The orientations will be Sunday, July 22 at 9:00 AM and 10:45 AM, Wednesday, July 25 at 6 PM, Sunday, July 29 at 9:00 AM and 10:45 AM and Wednesday, August 1 at 6 PM. All orientations will take place in Room 547.
Poverty Simulations
As part of our Circles USA ministry, we will have 2 opportunities for you to experience poverty simulations. Just like the ones Mt. Horeb previously hosted in the Fall, these approximately two hour poverty simulations are designed to allow people to experience the multitude of different, challenging situations a typical low-income family might face trying to survive from month to month.

Blood Drive
An emergency blood shortage is prompting the American Red Cross to issue an emergency appeal for eligible donors of all blood types - especially type O - to give now and help save lives.
"Each and every day, individuals across the country depend on blood and platelet donations for lifesaving treatments and emergency care, so it's critical that people donate now to meet these needs," said Cliff Numark, senior vice president, Red Cross Blood Services.
Please consider donating blood at
Mt. Horeb UMC on Monday, July 23rd from 2PM to 7PM in the Student Room.
