Welcome
We would like to welcome Mike Waldmann as our Worship
Leader. We would also like to thank Bob Sherman for bringing us our message this morning.
Recycle Bin
The Recycle Bin that was located in the Narthex has been removed. Everyone
is encouraged to take their bulletins home to read.
Bible Study
A Bible study focusing
on the words of Jesus found in John 14-17 will be taught on Thursday mornings from 10:00 – 11:30am beginning August
5. These words are especially important since they are the last words of Jesus to His disciples before
he went to the cross. The Bible study will be led by Faye Hunter and continue until the ladies’ Bible
study resumes in the fall. If you are interested in attending and need child care, please let Gayle Saunders
know at 525-6612.
WE NEED FRESH COFFEE, PLEASE!!
We
hate to whine but we are TIRED. Several of us on the Crossbucks crew have been serving for over 5 years! PLEASE
consider serving on this "no-meeting" committee! Your only obligation is for ONE Sunday a month with others
so you are not alone. Each Sunday's team is at liberty to organize it however they wish, the head of this thing
doesn't even ask for a report!! We have seen some new faces this past year, but we need more - they are dropping
like flies! We train so no experience is necessary - I don't even LIKE coffee.
We have all come to enjoy Crossbucks and I know I have
a rough week without Earl's brownies (which, by the way, you get first dibs if you are serving!). Please step up
and help us out! If I don't get a response, I will start making announcements EVERY Sunday! Contact any
Crossbucks member or e-mail Tamera.
Pantry Needs

Playground Work
We need a few volunteers to help spruce up and get the playground ready for this fall.
The mulch needs “fluffing” and we need to make sure all the nuts and bolts are secure and tight.
Please plan to help out on Saturday, August 14, for an hour or 2 starting at 9am. Bring your fluffing pitchfork, shovel or wrenches.
Shepherd’s Table
Our Wednesday to serve at the Shepherd’s Table is August 18. The
menu will be Baked Spaghetti. A crew will be getting together to cook this on Monday, August 16, at 7pm. This will give many working folks a chance
to participate in preparing the meal. If you would like to help cook or to serve, please let Gayle know,
525-6612.
Red Cross Bloodmobile
Thursday, August 19 12noon – 6pm

MOUNTAIN VIEW SMALL GROUPS - CONTINUE YOUR JOURNEY!
Plug into a small
group at Mountain View! We will be trying
to focus on a seasonal theme to emphasize Pastor Steve’s sermon series. Watch as we move forward
this summer with “Son Ripened Fruit!” and check to see what the groups are up to - all welcome you to join them!
You can check out the bulletin board in the Narthex for updated information as well as the website. If you know
of a group that is meeting but is not included below please send in the info and I will add it. If
you have a study in mind, e-mail us and we will find a facilitator and make it happen. We welcome new ideas!!
Cookin’ Club
Have you ever wondered “What in
the world am I making for dinner??” Well, you are not alone!!! We all think that
from time to time! Why not get together with some girlfriends in a kitchen, share some recipes, learn a
few tips and make some dinners together?! Thus, the idea for the Cookin’ Club is formed!
Cookin’ Club is another way to be in a small group where a few women will get together to prepare meals to feed
their families and possibly others too. Extra meals could be prepared to share with others who need some encouragement. If
you are interested in joining a Cookin’ Club small group or have any questions email Pat Kuhland.
