presented by Focus on the Family, is a DVD-based curriculum comprised of 12
one-hour lessons taught by Dr. Del
Tackett. This study is the starting point for looking at life from a

YOUNG ADULT BIBLE CLASS
High school graduates, college students, and young adults, we have a
brand new Bible study geared especially for you. As God’s written Word, the 66 books of the
Old and New Testaments are the source of His revelation to man. Join us in the Adult Education Room during
the Sunday School hour as we learn about the production, collection,
transmission, and preservation of these marvelous works in How We Got The Bible, featuring Dr. Paul L. Maier. Listen as Dr. Maier shares his expertise and
enthusiasm on the preservation and transmission of God's Word through the
centuries. Dave Turner is the facilitator of this study.

STEWARDSHIP CORNER
God’s
stewards seek to use every opportunity to do good to others, especially for
fellow Christians. By our words and
actions we show that we really are the children of God who delight in doing the
right things for the right reasons. How
sweet life is when we and others live in such selfless ways! - Galatians 6:1-10; 14-18
PRAYER PARTNERS NEEDED
Prayer partners are needed for the Mississippi Mission Team and New
York Servant Event participants. Prayer
partners provide 2 cards for their assigned servant – and pray for that
individual and the group during the week of service. Sign-up sheets are at the
J FAMILY FRIENDLY IDEA
J What is Prayer? Prayer is talking to
God. God promises to hear and answer us
when we pray to him. When we pray we
might close our eyes, fold our hands and bow our heads so that we aren’t distracted
by the things around us. You don’t have
to do all that though. Some people pray
while driving their car.
THE GROUNDS
The Grounds for high school youth will
not be meeting this Sunday [today] because of the July 4th
holiday. Next week, July 11th
we will meet at the Akers’ home for a bonfire and games (3608 East 100
South). Talk to one of the Akers for
directions.
The Seizing the City for Christ Servant
Event team will have an important planning meeting on Sunday, July 11th
at
NATIONAL YOUTH GATHERING PARTICIPANTS
All participants are to meet in the Choir Room during Sunday School to

information.

Stewardship Minute - Paul’s prayer for the Colossians was
that by God’s grace they might live lives worthy of their high calling as God’s
stewards and bear the fruits of their faith.
May it also be our prayer that we and our fellow stewards live lives
worthy of our high calling and keep on doing those things that honor God and
bless our neighbors whether they are next door or around the world. - Colossians
1:1-14
Stewardship Minute - St. Paul knew full well that in Christ
he had been redeemed from all his past sins and failures and equipped by the
power of the Holy Spirit to live his life as a good steward of the mysteries
and blessings of the Gospel. By God’s
grace we are also called to freely and joyfully live our lives and use all of
God’s blessings to honor Him and make life sweeter for others. - Colossians
1:21-29
Stewardship Minute - We became God’s stewards when the Holy
Spirit called us to be God’s children through the washing of Holy Baptism and
the word of salvation in Christ Jesus.
In Christ God made us alive and gives us the power to use all that we
are and have [time, life, relationships, skills and money] for His
purposes. There is no greater calling in
life than being a child of God in thoughts, words and actions! –
Colossians 2:6-15
