CLOTHES GIVEAWAY  On August 3^rd will be our Annual Clothes Giveaway. This is a great reason to clean out your closets of any unused clothes. Those from the community that we help are very grateful. With this event being right before school starts we are also asking for tennis shoes for the kids. Last year we were able to give away nearly 50 pairs of new sneakers to children. It is a blessing to be able to send these children to school with a new pair of shoes.

LIFE THOUGHTS   “Our society badly needs the witness of God’s Word to regain a sense of appreciation for His designs for marriage and the raising of children. Fathers, don’t sit around sulking, waiting for the cards and gifts. Commit to your woman and lift her up in honor. Support, mentor, and lead your children … know that you will have God’s mighty Spirit to help you.” Rev. Mark Jeske, Time of Grace – A “Life Quote” from Lutherans For Life ·

YOUTH PRAYER WARRIOR  Does prayer change things?  Oh yea!  Prayer can be the most powerful thing we can do and it doesn’t require anything except some time and love.  We are looking for some prayer warrior’s for our youth, people who will regularly, specifically pray for them.  We have 2 cards, one has a group picture and on the back side are their names.  This is so you can bring them to the Lord by face and name.  The other card will have a couple of prayers for the month.  If you would like to be a part of this the cards are on a table just outside the sanctuary, just pick them up or see Pam or Cameron.  Thanks for loving our youth!

CONDOLENCES   Mary Wiss, a long time member of our congregation died last Sunday in Grand Island, Nebraska.  The obituary from Wednesday’s paper is on the bulletin board in the Narthex.
