English Ministry News and Notes 8-4-13

*We Welcome Wendy & Thomas - As many of you know, Wendy and Thomas went on a mission trip through South America Mission (SAM) to Bolivia this summer. They just returned on July 26th. We rejoice with the ways they experienced and saw God at work and for the ways their own hearts have been changed. They will share a more in depth “report back” after worship for those who wish to hear more. Let us hold them in our prayers as they continue to integrate this important experience.

*Giving Thanks - Thus far, we have counted over $17,000 raised at the recent YCVM Benefit Dinner. This is wonderful and amazing news! We give great thanks for your generosity - of time, money, and effort! Let us hold Kumi Christian Visionary School continually in our prayers.

*Homework Club Summer Program Winds Down - We are entering our final two weeks of Homework Club and Adventures in Faith. Our last day is Aug. 16th. We invite volunteers for that day as we head to Crab Cove for a celebratory picnic! Please connect with Pastor Emily for more info.

*It's Not Too Late - There are 3 more sessions to our Wednesday Fellowship series and it's not too late to jump in. Our gathering begins with a simple meal at 6:00 p.m. with the workshop beginning at 6:30 p.m. Come for warm fellowship and amazing learning!

*LMUMC Food Pantry Work Day - Saturday, Aug. 10th.

*We Welcome You! Is God calling you to be baptized? To join this congregation as an active disciple? We will be celebrating baptism and membership reception on Sunday, Aug.18th. If you would like to know more, please connect with Pastor Emily
