OUR THANKS to David Livingstone for arranging the use of 3M Park for our picnic. We also were glad for those who joined us for an afternoon of fellowship. While attendance was our lowest ever, we did have the opportunity to chat and feast together on God's provision. Was it the date? Let Pastor know, because we want to have these fellowship events serving all our people!

THERE ARE MANY EXCITING THINGS that mark this, our 30^th year of ministry. Our renovations, of course, are a big part of that. The ordination and installation of our assistant pastor ON September 12^th will also be an exciting event. We will also be having a special service and dinner on the day of our anniversary, November 7^th. We are planning the anniversary service in the afternoon, followed by a dinner at the Hellenic Hall. Please fill in the ballot included in the bulletin regarding our meal plans. Set the date aside, and be part of this special time of praise and celebration, as we rejoice in God's gifts to us, His people.

THE ALTAR GUILD is looking for volunteers for July 25^th and the month of August. If you can help, please contact Marian Rutledge or let the office know. During renovations, the sign up sheet is still on the bulletin board outside the library.
