**PLEASE NOTE**
2019 Ohio State Ross Heart Hospital  TriFit Challenge is this Sunday and may impact your travel to church. Please be mindful of runners and cyclists as you make your way to worship.
Perhaps the church, at its best, is “all ears.” Almighty God urges the faithful, again and again, to “listen up!”—to heed the word from above. So it was with Abraham and Sarah, with Mary and Martha, and the early church at Colossae. So it is today as we join the assembly to hear the word of God, the words of life.

Living Lutheran Article from the Presiding Bishop of the ELCA
We belong to the Truth - Living Lutheran

"Let your word be 'Yes, Yes' or "No, No' " ( Matthew 5:37). When I was a girl, dinner table discussions in our family were lively. We could state our position on an issue, but then we had to be ready to back up our argument with facts.

School Supplies Needed
Beginning July 14 - August 25, we will be collecting School Supplies for Columbus City Schools. Not only is the congregation asked to bring items, this will also be the VBS Offering during the week of Vacation Bible School. Please plan to help us out in this community project.

Ice Cream Social
July 28 at 10:30am
One Worship Service Only

When you come to church on this Sunday, you will leave really feeling like you went to church!

We are taking it back, old-school style -- back to the hymns and music of that old time religion that feeds your soul and gets your foot tapping!
After the worship service stay for an Ice Cream Social!
So bring a picnic lunch, come for the worship, stay for the fellowship and ice cream! Sign up in the Narthex for ice cream and supplies. Contact Susan Phillips with any questions.

VBS is about to BLAST OFF on Monday!

Please pray for this ministry this week!

One small step for your kids...one giant leap for God's Kingdom!

At AdventELC's VBS children will become Voyagers on a journey through space, exploring where God's power can take them. Beginning in our Assembly area-an outpost on Mars-they'll lift off to distant planets on special missions to collect power sources. Along the way, they'll learn how God walked with heroes of the Bible, and that God is always with them, too. Add to the adventure with out-of-this-world fun, learning, and timeless Bible stories that inspire children to give glory to God, who is able to do far beyond all that we could ask or imagine!

For more information and to register go to AdventELC.org/vbs.
