PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE/LORD’S PRAYER Paula Hitchens

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen

ESL CONVERSATION AND FELLOWSHIP GROUP Join our ESL Conversation and Fellowship Group (Thursday Evenings @ 6:00 p.m.) The group will gather weekly, throughout the summer, for home-cooked meals and conversation together.

CHARLOTTE MISSION TRIP: AUGUST 15-18, 2013 We believe God has called us to join with others as we live into God’s mis-sion for the world. In pursuit of that belief, we are heading to Charlotte, NC and invite you to join us! We’ll partner with Ginter Park Baptist Church as we reunite with Jason and Joanie Williams and the rest of the Hyaets Com-munity. We’ll also establish new relationships, not only with the Chin con-gregation in Charlotte, but also with Tuckaseege Baptist Church in Mt. Hol-ly (home church of Molly Huffstetler), who is graciously providing hous-ing and meals! We invite you to bring your children or consider mentoring one of our youth throughout the weekend! Contact Dan to sign up: schumacher@tbcrichmond.org
