English Ministry News and Notes for 7-08-12

*Adventures in Faith on Promise Island Completed Its First Week! - We had a fantastic first week exploring God's promise to always be with us. Our crews learned the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, a beautiful verse from Isaiah 41:10, played games and made crafts. Will you continue to hold this ministry and everyone in it in prayer?


*Wednesday Community Dinners (WCD) Begin This Week! - Everyone is invited and urged to participate in WCD's, a time to come together for devotions, prayer and holy conversation about missions. WCD's begin July 11th and continue for 5 weeks. We will begin with a simple potluck at 6:30 p.m. (bring a side or main dish to share) and wrap up our time by 8:15 p.m. Please connect with members of the Missions Ministry Team (Steve, Becky, Donna, Burt, Jane, Aeri, Ben) for more info.


*LMUMC Food Pantry Ministry Day - Is around the corner on Saturday, July 14th. You're invited to sign up to serve.

*Pastor Emily will be out of the office on Thursday and Friday this week (July 12th and 13th). Please call her cell phone in case of pastoral emergency.
