Don't miss worship this Sunday! Rev. Jim Warren will answer another question in our, "You Asked for It -- Again!" sermon series at both services. The topic this week is, "Which God?" Here is his description of the sermon: "God is seen as responsible for some very gruesome and gory actions, even genocide, in the Old Testament, but most of us experience God as loving and compassionate. The God of Jesus Christ is merciful and forgiving. How can we reconcile these two very different understandings of God?" Scripture:
Psalm 9:1-10
At the 9:00 service we will dedicate Jack Alexander Larson, son of Adam and Tierney Larson and grandson of John and Peg Larson.
Also at the 9:00 service,
Samantha Dyanne Foster, granddaughter of Al and Beverly Leight, will be baptized.
Music at both services will celebrate God's power and goodness. Come to the 10:15 progressive service to hear the One and All Band while you enjoy a light breakfast.
A message about Gifts for Another Table for July:
Let's start off with a bang with items for Home Sweet Home Ministries. Suggestions of non-perishable food items to bring with you to church during July are: boxed rice dinners, pasta & sauce, potato dinners & sauce, Hamburger Helper, instant mashed potatoes, and canned vegetables and fruit.

You Are at Church
Bring a donation for, or sign up to volunteer at, the annual Block Party
. Items needed include cakes,
cookies, school supplies,
and money to cover school kits and miscellaneous expenses. Volunteers are needed for various roles at the event. Sign up or donate at the Information Center.
Bring a white elephant gift donation and leave it near the Information Center for the July 23 fellowship event.
Bring your Box Tops for Education for Bent School. Place them in the Disciples Women's Ministries mailbox near the office and they will be taken to the school by May Jackson. Thank you!
Check In on Facebook while you are at church (top right button on Facebook app news feed). At the One and All service feel free to use your device for social media, to share photos and thoughts about your worship experience as it happens.
Make a new friend! Greet a visitor. Show folks around and help them with questions they might have -- you might even invite them to Fellowship Time, which is a super way to break the ice! The bulletin is a great source of information for visitors, as is the Information Center. Let's be a welcoming church!
