50th Anniversary Celebration
UMCE’s 50th Anniversary celebration will take place on Sunday, August 1. We hope you can join us to mark this milestone! Please consider donating to help fund the festivities, which will include a delicious lunch prepared by our own Clyde Sacks. You can put your cash or check marked “50th Anniversary” in the offering plate the next two Sundays. The planning committee estimates our expenses to be around $2,000, including the outdoor tent rental, food, supplies and decorations. Good news: we’ve already collected $1,240 toward that goal! Can you help us with a portion of the balance? Thank you for supporting this significant achievement in UMCE’s history.

In Worship This Week: Praise Stories
Psalm 148 is an invitation to praise God with our whole lives – and in our own ways. As we give thanks for the animals in our lives, and celebrate the gifts that they are to us, we reflect on the ways each of us is called and invited to praise God with the gifts and graces we’ve been given by God. This week's story comes from Psalm 148 . You can find a link to the scripture here.

EPAD Golf Tournament Results
Remember reading in Happenings about the Evergreen Public Access Defibrillation (EPAD) Golf Tournament, held at Hiwan Golf Club on June 7th? With the help of UMCE’s sponsorship of a hole, the tournament raised $12,236.40! That money goes straight to the EPAD program, which facilitates access to AEDs and teaches CPR in the Evergreen community. UMCE’s own Maureen Sullivan and Debby Humphrey volunteered at the tournament. Don’t forget that UMCE is home to one of EPAD’s AEDs. It’s located on the wall outside the double kitchen doors.

There are 3 major components to the lifesaving, life-changing work of JOY International:
RESCUE
HEALING
PREVENTION
HEALING is critical for the young people who have been traumatized by the horrific abuse they have endured while victims of trafficking.
JOY International supports and partners with a network of safe houses and rehabilitation homes that provide a safe and loving environment for survivors of trafficking to heal and begin new lives. These homes are found in CO, NC, VA, AK, and Cambodia. In September, JOY will be hosting the first ever Service Providers retreat in NC where the staff of rehabilitation homes will have the opportunity to be renewed in body, mind and spirit from their demanding work with young survivors of trafficking.
DID YOU KNOW?
The FBI states that once trapped in the sex trade, the average remaining life span of girls ranges from 5-7 years. They die from disease, suicide or murder. (2016) This abuse is unconscionable!!
We CAN HELP to provide healthy outcomes for thousands of young people. Visit www.joy.org for more information and www.thebarefootmile.org to register to walk the Mountain Community Barefoot Mile on August 21 at Marshdale Park in Evergreen, CO and support JOY International today!
Thank you abundantly on behalf of all those who wait for rescue,
Your Mountain Community JOY Team
