NEXT SUNDAY’S READINGS are Jeremiah 15:15-21, Romans 12:9-21, and Matthew 16:21-28.
RALLY DAY: Join us Sunday, September 13th for a potluck picnic lunch following our official Rally Day Sunday School and Worship, all beginning at 9:00 AM. Hot dogs, hamburgs, and drinks provided. Please sign up on the glass case by September 6 if you plan to attend so we know how many to plan for. Please note: Sunday School classes for all ages will begin the week before on September 6th.
TODAY we will enjoy our last coffee hour for this summer. THANK YOU to all who provided goodies for this fellowship opportunity that was enjoyed by many of us. We look forward to doing it again next year!
AUGUST MISSION ENVELOPES will support WINGS FLIGHTS OF HOPE. Their pilots are on call 24/7 to volunteer their time and their planes to fly patients for medical treatments that are not available locally. This service is completely free to the patient. WINGS receives no government funding. They are supported completely by donations, which go toward the cost of fuel and plane maintenance. If you would like to help Wings Flights of Hope with theirmission, place your mission envelope in the offering plate during August or donate online at www.gracenf.org by choosing “give now” and then “mission of the month”.
ONLY 2 WEEKS LEFT: We are continuing to accept donations of school supplies, socks, and underwear through Labor Day weekend. If you would like to help the children of our Niagara Falls schools get off to a great start this school year, please place your donation on the tables in the narthex or chapel by September 6. All donations will be distributed directly to students by their teachers (and school nurses) as they determine individual needs during the first weeks of school. Thank you for your generosity.
NEXT SUNDAY SOCIAL MINISTRIES will meet after worship. Lunch will be enjoyed during the meeting. (Rumor has it that Dick will be grilling for us.) New members are alwayswelcome. No reservations are needed–just join us in the chapel after worship on that day.
