Welcome to all of our visitors for a special Baptism Sunday! This morning, we will witness the baptisms of two believers in Christ: Betty Foster and Micah Jochim. 

- This afternoon, during our potluck, we will also be celebrating Grant and London Johnson's soon-to-be-born baby. There is a table set up in the FLC for you to leave your cards and gifts on for the Johnsons to open. So, come, stay for potluck if you can, but know that you can leave a gift or card for them, even if you aren't able to stay for potluck. 

- American Heritage Girls is a ministry for girls ages 5–18 that is dedicated to building women of integrity through service to God, family, community, and country. If you’d like to learn more, please come to Parent Information Night this Tuesday, August 18th, or speak with Chelsea Austin after today’s service.

- This Saturday, August 22nd, is our church's summer workday. We encourage everyone to come ready to help at 8 am, since there is plenty to do! Then we will enjoy lunch together afterwards. If you have any questions or would like to know more, see Pastor John or Adam Jochim.

- Next Sunday, August 23rd, will be our Summer Social at 5 pm. We will also be recognizing Norris and Beverly Suits after over 40 years of faithful Junior High Sunday School ministry. So please bring sides and desserts, as well as a card and words of encouragement for the Suits next Sunday afternoon.
