Good Work!
We bring all that we are to the altar of service, and you are invited this Sunday to bring a small token of your work, occupation, hobby, enjoyment, to church and place it on the altar for a Community Blessing. It may be a pen, stethoscope, book, lanyard, set of keys, garden shears, etc.
We understand many will be traveling this weekend, and if you are unable to attend, please send an e/mail to Rev. Emma with the subject line “Labor Day”, and we will place your name tag on the altar so that you are remembered and included.

Love In Action
Kurt Jaeger will be sharing about his recent visit and mission work in Peru!
Miguel Rodriguez, Director of Sagrada Familia in Lima, Peru, calls his philosophy
‘love though action’. It is a guiding principal that infuses everything that happens
at Sagrada Familia. It’s infectious.

After the discussion, folks asked Kurt how they could support the work of the Sagrada Familia and he replied,

The simplest way to donate to the Sagrada Familia community is through Global Volunteers. Use this link to make a donation, select that you want to give to a specific program and select Peru. https://globalvolunteers.org/donate/
If you are interested in volunteering yourself go to https://globalvolunteers.org/ and click on the Volunteer link.

Keeping Our Church Cool!
Thanks to your generosity and your care for your facility, the new HVAC air handler and heat pump were installed Wednesday July 12th! Yay!
Taking care of the facility is important and one of the signs of a healthy church community. And you have no idea what it means to a pastor to see this happening! I know I also speak for the Facility Manager, the Office Manager, and the Administrative Assistant as well:
Good Work People! 🙂
