Announcements:
VBS “Celebrate” Wraps Up Thank you to all those who helped us Celebrate Gods Love in various ways this week. We had 57 students attend and we raised $$563.37 mission offerings for recreational items for Camp Okoboji. Look for pictures and more later.
WANTED: SR. LYF LEADERS The Board of Youth are seeking 1-2 people to act as Leaders for our Sr. LYF for 2015-16. This person(s) would help plan and oversee activities designed for our youth in 9-12 grades with the help of the Board of Youth. If interested or for more information, please contact Carla Murphy.
Women’s summer Bible study: For the summer the women’s Bible study group will meet on the 2nd and 4th Mondays at 5:45 pm in the Youth room. We will not be doing a continuous series, but stand alone topics, so come when you are able.
Registration forms for the LWML Retreat to be held Sept 12 are on the bulletin board. The theme is “Hooked on Jesus; Hooked on Missions!” We will be posting a sign up sheet to carpool. If you would like to go, send your registration in promptly, it usually fills up fast.
Two New Opportunities where we can make a MAJOR difference in the lives of others:
- Vietnam Veterans of America, initiated by the Story County Chapter. They are starting a duffel bag outreach. They are looking for donations of items to put in a duffel bag that will be distributed in various ways in Story and surrounding counties to homeless veterans.
Items needed: bar soap, wash cloth, nail clippers, comb, shampoo, band-aids, tooth brush, tooth paste, small tissue packs, disposable razor, socks, undershirts (T shirts), underwear-boxers or briefs, bath towel, plastic poncho, note pad with pencil, baseball type cap or hat. - ‘Takin’ it to the Streets’ outreach in Omaha Check it out at www.takinittothestreetsomaha.org

The Sunday morning adult Bible study will resume in August. On August 2nd, we will reflect on how we as Christians respond to the recent announcement of the Supreme Court.
BACKPACK DRIVE The Board of Human Care is collecting new backpacks for children to use in the upcoming school year .There will be a collection bin at the EAST entrance of the church through the end of September. Thanks for your help with this drive!
Church Logo Shirts Update: Since the original order doesn’t have all the sizes we wanted, we have decided to add an option and have put our first order on hold. Many members have said they would rather have a full zipper rather than the 1/4 zipper we offered. So we will have two light jackets on display that you can order instead of the original, or in addition to, the original 1/4 zip fleece shirt. We are offering the women’s jacket in purple and the men’s in navy. See the display by the elevator lift before and after the first service and before the second service today (Aug 2nd). If any of you want to order two shirts or jackets (in any combination), we will have to charge you $25 for the second one.
