*Great Thanks to all who served at this Saturday’s LMUMC Food Pantry!


*Off to Camp! Cloud, Ursella, Shing, and Jeffrey are off to Camp Lodestar today. They will spend a fun-filled, faith-filled week in the mountains near Jackson. Please pray that each will experience God in a mighty, wonderful way.


*Adventures in Faith on Promise Island - We completed our 2nd week exploring God's promise, "I care about you." This week, we dive into the 3rd promise, "I give you what you need." Please continue to hold this ministry, our staff, and each and every child up in prayer.   God is doing amazing things!


*Wednesday Community (Potluck) Dinners - You are invited to gather together over a simple but hearty meal and share prayers, reflections, and holy conversations about mission! We will be listening to each other and for the Holy amongst us. Bring a dish to share if you are able. Dinners will begin at 6:30 p.m.


*Mission Exchange Update - Aeri, Ben and Jenny shared that they were well received" at New Vision UMC last week. There was such enthusiasm that we have our first 2 tables for this year's benefit dinner already filled! Today, Aeri and Ben head to The Crossing in Hayward for a time with their adult Christian education class. Please continue to remember them in your prayers.


*GBGM Missionaries to Speak at CCUMC - We welcome Revs. Grace and Jae Choi on Sunday, July 29th. Revs. Choi are UMC missionaries from Korea to the Philippines. We are eager to hear about how God is working with and through them and how we can continue to celebrate our call to missions.
