PRAYER CONCERNS

Sandon Hilditch, son of Karen Hilditch is now doing much better and is at home in Liberal, KS. He is still having severe migraines and noises are painful

to him. Karen is able to stay at a nearby hotel that has a kitchenette and is able to prepare food for him and his wife and take it to their home. They are still waiting to see if the tumor is malignant. The surgeon was not able to remove all of the tumor because the center of it encompasses a blood vessel going to the brain. Please continue to pray for Sandon and his family during this time.

Al Smith went to Mercy Heart Hospital Saturday night, July 1st. He was scheduled to have an arteriogram the next day, Sunday, July 2nd. We have not received an update at this time. Please keep him in your prayers. Tim Barton, Joe Akins’, roommate, spent some time at the St. Anthony, Shawnee hospital last week with heart problems. He was able to return home Monday evening, July 3rd and is now doing much better.

FAMILY NEWS

Our God is great. We have several struggling with physical

and spiritual health problems. Please continue to pray for all

those on our prayer list. We also want to continue to be in

prayer for our church family traveling during these summer

months. The Hyde’s will all be in Wyoming for a couple

weeks. You can look forward to hearing lessons from two of

our Shepherd’s, Bob Perry and Dennis Brodersen. I also

want to thank Paul Harris for teaching my Sunday morning

class. Continue to love your neighbors as yourselves and

show the love of God to all those around you. We have our

VBS coming up in about four weeks. Our theme is Growing

Up in the Lord. We will be studying Moses, Daniel, Samuel,

and Jesus when they were young. We also will have Bob

Whiddon from Hope Harbor here to lead a Parenting

Workshop during our VBS. So if you know of anyone who

might be interested in attending a parenting workshop

invite them to our VBS. Their kids can go to VBS classes and

the adults will stay in the auditorium for the workshop. So

continue to pray that God will bless us as we prepare for

VBS and that God will send us lots of kids and parents for

our workshop. Please sign-up to help if you haven’t already.

Get His Word in You.

Technology is so great. It’s amazing all the things

technology can help you with today. I realized there is

one big draw back though. We don’t have to memorize

anything anymore. If you have a smart phone you

don’t need to memorize phone numbers. The internet

gives us answers to almost any question we have at

anytime. Even the Bible is on computers and smart

phones. We need to be careful though not to allow

these technological devices keep us from memorizing

God’s word and getting it inside of us. We need to fill

our lives with the knowledge of God.

“For this reason, since the day we heard about you,

we have not stopped praying for you and asking God

to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all

spiritual wisdom and understanding. 10 And we pray

this in order that you may live a life worthy of the

Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit

in every good work, growing in the knowledge of

God,” Col 1:9-14

Get into God’s Word this week and grow some.

Your brother

Jimmy Hyde

THANK YOU NOTES

To (Our church family) Brothers and

Sisters in Christ, We prayed for several

days that the Lord’s will be done and

our prayers were answered through

you. Your works are a reminder of what Jesus asks of us,

“Trust God with all your heart, with all your soul and with

all your mid and with all your strength.” Mark 12:30-31.

What you have done for us is hard to put in words: Love,

tears of joy, and grateful are some of the emotions we feel.

We are truly blessed to have family like you. Love, Shawn &

Maria (Musgraves)

P.S. God is good all the time and all the time God is good.

I feel so blessed having such a loving and caring Church

family and friends. Thank you cannot come close to cover

how much you generous gift means to us and how this will

help us so much. I also want to thank you for all the cards,

pphone calls, loving support and prayers. They are what

have kept us going through this waiting period of unknown.

Please continue to pray for my son Sandon, and his upcom-

ing brain surgery this Thursday morning. I don’t now what I

would do without all your loving support during this time

and what’s to come.

Love, Karen & Chris Hilditch

YOUTH NEWS By NATHAN KELLY

A big thank you to goes out to Joe Curtis for driving the kids to the Area Wide Teen Gathering on Monday. He had a van full and I was pleased to see that. I was also pleased that he left before the storms hit. Our next AWTG is on June 10 at Noble. I will talk to the driver and figure out when the departure time will be. Also, thank you for the Hyde’s for hosting the dinner-n-devo. We actually have another one on July 16 at the McKnight home. I know what you’re thinking, “Two dinner-n-devo’s in one month. Are you crazy?” Yes, yes we are that crazy.

Has your worship ever been threatened by the distraction of someone’s appearance? This happened to me at our last AWTG. The speaker got up on the stage wearing shorts. There was nothing wrong with him wearing shorts, but it caught me off guard and it’s not something I’m used to. It took some quick personal reminders to get my focus off his appearance and on his message. Paul writes in Galatians 1:10 that he is not out to seek the approval of others but of God. He even re-states Jesus’ words that you can’t be the slave of two masters. The speaker was an excellent speaker, and had I focused on his shorts too much, I would have missed a great lesson. He doesn’t need my approval of what he wears, and honestly I would have been in the minority of this opinion. When we serve and worship, we can’t let minor details, like breaking traditions, distract us from our true focus.

“We are more than conquerors through

Him that loved us.”

Romans 8:37

PLEASE HELP

The remote for the television in the

nursery is missing. This is a closed

circuit television that gives the

nursery attendant an opportunity to

watch and listen to the worship service on Sunday

mornings. If anyone has seen or knows where this

remote is please return it to the nursery. Your help is

very much appreciated.
