SHEPHERD’S CORNER:

Your shepherds met last Thursday and

discussed a variety of church family issues

and each shepherd lifted a prayer to God

to intervene in some health issues current-

ly challenging some church family mem-

bers. Prayers of praise and joy were also

lifted for some church family members

who are currently experiencing new birth,

both babies and baptism.

Your shepherds count it a privilege to lift

up prayers to the Father through Jesus for

all members of this family of believers.

Other topics discussed include:

The 5th Sunday Elder’s Forum will be

held this Sunday evening. A variety of

topics will be discussed at this forum.

Among those are:

HomePoint – a short video will be

shown that will give everyone an

overview of the program. Kent

Sampson will interview BJ McMi-

chael and Alysia Ropp who provided

background and research material to

the elders as they evaluated the

HomePoint program. There will

also be a Q&A after their brief

presentation.

Many in our church family are aware

of the relationship our congregation

has been developing with Will Rog-

ers Elementary School. Several of

our members have been working on

a special effort to assist these stu-

dents. More information will be pro-

vided during the Elder’s Forum ex-

plaining the good work this congre-

gation is doing through this special

effort for the students of Will Rogers

Elementary.

If you have questions regarding any of the

above topics or any other topic that may

be on your heart, please let one of your

shepherd’s know.

Dear Stillwater Church,

Thank you so much for your graduation gift. The

Stillwater Church of Christ has been my home for as

long as I can remember and I can’t thank you

enough for all that you’ve done to point me and

others towards Christ. Please keep me in your pray-

ers as I begin my college journey. Thanks again for

you’ve done for me and my walk with God.

Sincerely, Logan Wood

Dear Church Family,

Thank you for honoring the seniors and presenting us with the Bible and all the encour-

agement you have given me for as long as I can remember. It has been a privilege get-

ting to grow up in such a loving church family. Love, Mallory Thomas

Dear Romeo Boys,

We just want to thank you so much for everything you guys have done for our family in

this hard time, We are so grateful and we pray that the Heavenly Father blesses you all

and is with you always. Everything that was shown to us let us know that we have more

family than just our small little bunch. Your church and minister and everything that

was done for us gave us hope in knowing that our loved one is in a better place and we

will see him again. We know he is in the Heavenly Father’s hands and he is in no more

pain. We love you all very much. God Bless you. The Lomsdale Family

NEW SISTER IN CHRIST

Britton Nichols

was “born

again” last

Wednesday

night among

family and

youth group

friends after Bible class. Her father got

to baptize her and it was a sweet time to

affirm Britton’s growing faith and to see

God at work among his people. Britton

is the daughter of James and Cara Nich-

ols. Let’s be an encouragement to Brit-

ton as she begins her Christian walk.

WELCOME TO THE WORLD… Congratulations to Jeremiah & Mackenzie Bro on the birth of

their son, Maverick Hawkins, July 25. He weight 7 pounds 3.2

ounces and was 21 inches long. Congrats also to “big sister”

Sawyer, grandparents Beth & Trent Hawkins, and to great-grand-

parents Lettie & Freeman Dilbeck.

NEW

BROTHER

IN CHRIST

We rejoice

with Kade

Quigley on his baptism into Christ

by his father July 6 in the creek at

his grandparents home in Kingfish-

er. Kade is the teenage son of Kari

& Kenny Quigley.
