Regular Council Meeting Slated For August 3 All are invited to the
Council meeting on August 3 at 7 PM in the Furman Room.
Rev. Bill Bertsch To Preach Here Next Sunday: Pastor Kevin To
Preach At Tenth Anniversary Of Church In Oklahoma City
Pastor Kevin was the first pastor of the Cathedral of Hope-Oklahoma
City, a church that is celebrating its 10th anniversary this coming
August. They have asked him to come back and preach on this special
anniversary. The Oklahoma City church was a new church plant of the
Cathedral of Hope UCC in Dallas, now one of the largest
congregations of the United Church of Christ. Pastor Kevin will be in
Oklahoma City and Dallas from August 6-13. The Rev. Bill Bertsch, a
favorite friend of this congregation, will preach on Sunday, August 8.
Pastor Kevin will be sorry to miss Marsha’s delicious barbecue that
weekend.
Your Help Is Needed During Worship In August There are plenty
of empty spaces to fill, so please volunteer to help with being a
liturgist, usher, or providing flowers or refreshments. Thanks!
Volunteers for Peach Pork Barbecue Fundraiser The Church
Council is looking for help to staff the Peach Pork Barbecue. Marsha is
cooking the barbecue, but we’ll be needed for the other tasks. Ilse
may approach you on behalf of the Council over the next few weeks
to help on August 6-7, so please volunteer, if you are able to do so.
Thank you for your support.
Mark Your Calendars For Kick-Off Sunday, September 12 We’ll
be kicking off the fall with a kick-off Sunday with a special guest:
Rev. Ann Slade will be joining us during worship. Pastor Kevin will
begin a new sermon series on that date, and our children’s Sunday
School will begin again. In addition, we will roll out a new series of
adult Bible and book studies the following week. Plan to be there on
this important date—and bring a friend.
Join us for our annual Golden Agers Party on Saturday,
September 25, At 11 AM. We moved the date to September to
ensure better weather and to give more of us an opportunity to join
the party.

Songs.
