And special thanks to Marsha for her hard work cooking and putting together Beach Party At Sven’s Home On Saturday, August 23 (4 PM until 11 PM) Put it in your calendar, so we can say goodbye to summer in a big way.

Fall KICK-OFF Set For Sunday, September 7 We’ll have a themed party immediately following worship, so make sure and put that important date in your calendar. Christian Education The Minor Books of The Bible To Be Fall Bible Study Ever wondered what the book of Philemon was all about? How about this unknown Titus guy? What is being lamented in the five chapter book of Lamentations? These and other questions will be answered (hopefully) with our fall Bible study beginning on Sunday at 11:20 AM on September 14. These “short” books of the Bible often get overlooked by the “tall” (long) books of the Bible. Come and explore these often ignored books of the Bible. No study guides or other expertise will be required—just show up with your open mind! Book Study On “Gilead” Continues This Wednesday, August 13 Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Gilead is the story of a retiring minister who wishes to write a memoir of his life to his very young son, a son he believes he will not see grow into adulthood because of his own advanced age.
