Happy August everyone! It's that time of year for back to school preparations, but as with so many other things, this is looking a lot different this year. Please be praying for our teachers, bus drivers, administrators, board members, and all school staff as we look toward a year filled with extra challenges. Pray for the parents and their children and teens who are trying their best to weigh the options for schooling. Help us to be compassionate and understanding because we all have different needs and concerns. Help us to lift each other up with your love and light.
Help us to not be afraid.
Isaiah 41:10 "Do not fear because I am with you, do not be dismayed for I am your God."
This is the memory verse for our August Bible Study that is beginning Wednesday. This month we are learning how to be brave and that God helps us have courage and to use the gifts He has given us. I would love if you would watch with us as we read God's word and watch it come alive in our lives.
Although it might say the videos are for "kids"," I know I get a lot out of prepping these lessons, and I also know that it never hurts to brush up on the basics.
Jayné Kirk
Director of Children & Family Ministries

Update on the Citywide Yard Sale
The City of Hurricane is still promoting Saturday, August 8, 2020, as the annual Citywide Yard Sale. Our parking lot spaces are available to the community at $10 per space. Spaces will not be assigned; the earliest people to show up on the 8th will get their pick of spaces. This rental is a fund raiser of the United Methodist Women.
The difference in this year's sale is that the building will be closed, and the UMW will not be serving food and beverages, a decision which was made due to the ongoing pandemic. Those who are interested in reserving one or more parking spaces should contact the church office (304-562-5903; office@forrestburdette.com).

Remember to call or email the church to reserve a spot at one of our in-person worship services each week. Services are offered Sundays at 10:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m
.
Please contact the office by Friday afternoon for Sunday reservations. (304-562-5903,

Fundraising Opportunity for Heart + Hand!
Donations for a Forrest Burdette, FBUth, and FBKids logos face mask (gaiter style) will go toward the purchase of a free little library at Heart + Hand Thrift Store, just like the one we have at Forrest Burdette! Any funds raised over the amount needed will go toward the purchase of new books to be shared. $10 suggested donation. Masks are available in the office during the week or on Sundays in the Narthex.

Remember the Cupboard
The Christian Community Cupboard has continued to serve our community throughout this pandemic. Please remember them when shopping. Especially needed from Forrest Burdette are canned peas and canned carrots.

Live Stream Tech Volunteers Needed
To help continue our Facebook-Live presence for our 10:30 a.m. worship services, we need several volunteers to train and learn the process to help this outreach. We are blessed with the technology to be able to reach others for Christ in this new way. Please consider being a part of this team! Please contact Karen in the office or Pastor Jeremy.
