WE ARE PLANNING a service trip to the MCC Center in North Newton on July 19. We will get a tour and then help with whatever they need help with -possibly Relief Kits. We will be collecting items for these until then. There will be a box in the Narthex for these items. The needed items are:

4 large bars of bath soap, 1 plastic bottle shampoo (13-24 oz in resealable plastic bag), 4 large bars laundry soap (Fels Naptha, etc), 4 adult toothbrushes, 4 new bath towesl (med weight and dark or bright colors), 2 wide-tooth combs (6-8 inches), 1 fingernail clipper (good quality), 1 box adhesive bandages (40 count assorted sizes), 1 package sanitary pads (18-24 count thin maxi).

There will be a sign up sheet on the Bulletin Board for those who want to go on this local Mission opportunity. We will meet at the church and carpool there, and will probably eat somewhere in Newton afterwards. We will plan to leave FMC about 8:15am and try to return by 2 or 2:30pm. If people have questions, please talk to Jan Amstutz.

AMONG OUR FRIENDSLaverne and Jane Buchholz are now back home. Please continue to pray for strength and healing for Laverne.

"Scriptural examples that show different ways that we relate to God"

1 Thess 1:4-5a4 For we know, brothers and sisters[b] loved by God, that he has chosen you, 5 because our gospel came to you not simply with words but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and deep conviction.

2 Timothy 3:16-1716 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Romans 12:22 Do not be conformed to this world,[a] but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect.[b]

Acts 17:2-42 And Paul went in, as was his custom, and on three sabbath days reasoned with them from the scriptures, 3 explaining and proving that it was necessary for the Messiah[a] to suffer and to rise from the dead, and saying, “This is the Messiah,[b] Jesus whom I am proclaiming to you.”4 Some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did a great many of the devout Greeks and not a few of the leading women.

Thessalonians 5:15-2315 See that none of you repays evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to all. 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise the words of prophets,[a] 21 but test everything; hold fast to what is good; 22 abstain from every form of evil.

23 May the God of peace himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept sound[b] and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
