As our
"Did You Hear the One About..." sermon series continues this Sunday, Rev. Jim Warren will ask, "Did You Hear the One About the People Praying?" at both the 9:00 traditional and 10:15 progressive One and All services. In the parable found in Luke 18:9-14, Jesus talks about a Pharisee and a tax collector going up to the Temple to pray. The tax collector humbly prays and earns Jesus' approval.
We will enjoy a gift of music at 9:00 a.m. and for our progressive service at 10:15 a.m. the One and All Band has some favorites prepared. Don't forget to invite a friend to either service, and to enjoy donut holes and coffee with you between services. You can even promise a light breakfast at the 10:15 service!
This Sunday we will find out more about the very important Prayer Groups that will begin soon. This effort is directly related to the Discernment process our church is undergoing regarding our future. Come to either service to hear a Moment for Ministry.
Gifts for Another Table:
Non-perishable food items brought to church during August will be given to a very worthy food pantry by the name of Ministry & More. Needed items are canned fruit and vegetables, boxed meals such as Hamburger Helper and macaroni and cheese, canned soup, crackers, cookies, peanut butter, jelly, cereal, and instant mashed potatoes.

If we are going to continue to spread the gospel faithfully, we need to allow God to transform us into the church God wants us to be.
