NEXT SUNDAY’S READINGS are Leviticus 19:9-18, Colossians 1:1-14, and Luke 10:25-37.
CAN YOU HELP? There are still openings for providing a goodie for our Summer Coffee Hour. Snacks do NOT have to be home baked goods. There is a signup sheet on the glass case if you can help. Join us in the chapel after worship for a few minutes of relaxation and fellowship while enjoying a beverage and snack. Our Summer Coffee Hour will continue through the summer months.
NEXT SUNDAY: During our coffee hour after worship next Sunday, we will celebrate a special birthday with cake and goodies as our oldest member turns 100 years old! Please plan to stay and help us celebrate this wonderful event.
SUMMER MISSION PROJECT: Our annual collection of school supplies, socks, and underwear will run throughout the summer. Donations will benefit our inner city children at Harry Abate Elementary on 11th Street in Niagara Falls. Besides children’s sized socks and underwear, all types of school supplies (spiral notebooks, folders, paper, pencils, pens, markers, crayons, glue sticks, etc.) are needed and appreciated.
JULY MISSION ENVELOPES will support WINGS FLIGHTS OF HOPE as they offer free air transportation to WNY patients needing specialized medical care not available locally. These patients often require special equipment, or are too weak to be able to take a commercial flight. The pilots volunteer their time and planes, and they are on call 24/7 for immediate transportation when needed. Last year, our donation of $650 covered two “flights of hope”. If you would like to support Wings, please use your mission envelope during July or donate online by choosing “monthly mission”.
JULY BIRTHDAY lists have been posted at the narthex and parking lot entrances. We hope you will check out the list and offer birthday wishes and blessings to your friends at Grace. If you would like to request that we sing for a special milestone birthday or child’s birthday, please speak to Dick Crawford or an usher prior to announcements.
THANK YOU for your generous donations to support Summit Life Resources. All donations have been delivered, along with $416.97 which was donated in the Baby Bottle Banks. Thanks to Alice Moll for counting the change and making the delivery, and to Wendy Coleman for sponsoring the Thrivent Action Team.
Niagara Youth Endurers Update: We have been able to raise over $30,000 in just a year! Praise God for His provision, and thank you for your participation. This amount covers hotel, transportation, food, and access to a life-changing experience!
Please join us at church on July 13th at 10:30 for our commissioning during the worship service. We appreciate your prayers.
