Announcements for August 14

Today’s flowers are dedicated to the glory of God and in honor of family birthdays in August: Nick on the 11th, LaRue on the 16th and Jimmy on the 22nd, by Jimmy and LaRue Snyder.

Our VBS mission this year benefited Sole Stepping. We will continue collecting new pairs of sneakers in elementary children’s sizes until the end of August. Socks are also appreciated. The sizes especially needed by Sole Stepping are Sizes 1 through 3, including half sizes. Wide shoes are also needed.

August’s Noisy Offering will benefit victims of flooding in Kentucky. Thrivent will match donations $1.00 for every $2.00 donated via their web site, up to $100,000.

The August Council meeting has been moved to next Sunday, the 21st. The executive committee (Jan, Jeff, Denise and Judy H) will meet with Pastor Mark today to work on transition plans for calling a new pastor. There are charts on the wall closest to the piano in the Fellowship Hall which document our progress in the Transition Process.
