Announcements:

Please check the sample church directory in the narthex to make sure your contact information is correct.  Many people are getting rid of their land lines, so please make sure we have a correct phone number for you.  Many people are including their email addresses, so please consider if you would like your email address added. TODAY is the last day to make changes. Thank you.

Vacation Bible School begins TODAY! If you have not pre–registered, you can still attend. Come and register at the door.

VBS helpers still needed!!!!  We still need volunteers to fill a few spots. Helpers in the Preschool rooms are still needed. We also need people to help set up and decorate TODAY after second service so we are ready to go by 5pm.  If you can help for an hour or until the task is done your time would be appreciated. Contact Carla Murphy or Thomas Wilson if you have any questions.

Wings of Refuge, a Christ-centered restoration home for women who have survived sex-trafficking, is moving to Ames. There will be a special evening of worship, information and encouragement on Friday, Aug. 17 from 7-9 p.m. at Harvest Vineyard Church in Ames. See the poster on the bulletin board for more information.

The Book to Know group will meet Sept  13, 7:00 pm at Shirley Tice’s home to discuss “The Nightingale” by Kristin Hanna.  Everyone is invited to read this book and join us for the discussion.

Blood Drive– Monday, July 30 from 3:00 – 6:00 pm. To sign up or if you have questions, contact Brian Weber at 450-2358.

Next Sunday we will be collecting Mites for the LWML Mission Grants. The large mite box is in the narthex. Thank you.

SCHOOL SUPPLY AND BACKPACK DRIVE July 16th – August 15th  Items will be collected for middle school and high school-aged students.  Their greatest need is for bigger, heavy-duty backpacks.  They also need college-bound notebooks, pocket folders, loose-leaf paper (college or wide-lined), glue sticks, color pencils or markers, and even pencils and pens! Please consider buying a quality backpack and filling it with these most needed supplies.  Place all your donations into our school bus display located in the narthex.  Thank you for your generosity!!!

10% of your bill at Texas Road House is donated back to the church on any Sunday when you bring the current Sunday bulletin and show it to the restaurant. This is an ongoing fundraiser for all youth projects.
