Please make corrections during the next several Sundays.

We have received a thank you from Meals on Wheels which reads in part, "Thank you again for your very generous donation of assorted food items for our weekday meal preparation. We truly appreciate your continued generosity!"

Congrats to Graysen Pack upon his recent acceptance to Graduate School at Vanderbilt University (Nashville). Graysen will begin his studies in September.

What Will I Do Today?
Today, I will put God first in my life in all my thoughts, actions, and plans (Matt. 6:33)
Today, I will seek God's wisdom in all my decisions (James 4: 13-14)
Today, I will look to Christ with my problems and burdens, knowing that He can give me rest (Matt. 11:28)
Today, I will worry about nothing and pray about everything (Phil. 4:6-7)
Today, I will learn to be content with what I have, resting on God's promise that He will never leave me nor forsake me (Heb. 13:5)
