- September Missionary Prayer Guide is now available on the book stall. Remember to pick one up after the service and use it during your daily prayers next month, seeking the Lord to extend Christ's kingdom to the ends of the earth!

- Our move-up Sunday for Sunday School is next Sunday, on September 6th! Our children and youth will be starting their new classes, and all of our classes are starting new studies in September. So please make sure to join us! If you would like more information, please see Pastor John or me.

- In Sunday School, we will offer a membership class starting next week as well as pastorally led studies here in the sanctuary. Your elders urge you to participate in one of our Sunday School classes starting next week.

- Next Sunday is also our monthly prayer meeting. During the first half an hour, Yancey Toon will share about his recent missions work in Slovakia. So plan on coming at 1:30 pm, when we will boldly come before God's throne of grace in prayer together!

- Let me invite Pastor Josh up for our last announcement this morning....

 - Today's sermon is from James 3:13-18. Our bulletin is available on our website, www.mvbaptist.church/bulletin. On our website, you can submit prayer requests and give. You may worship through giving by placing your offering in the plates between the double doors just after worship.
