- I want to say Thanks to Pastor Mark Suko for his ministry to our congregation this past Sunday. It was a blessing to have him and his wife, Nancy, with us once again. I am reminded of the importance of investing in others. They have been a model of this for me and Caryl!

- Our August Monthly Memory verse will be 2 Corinthians 9:6. Paul reminds us that our investment for Jesus will produce a harvest. “The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.” 2 Corinthians 9:6 ESV I strongly encourage you to develop a system for memorizing Scripture. It could be using 3×5 cards or even an app. Let me encourage you to check out the Bible Memory App. (IOS and Android)
- This week I will be focusing on 2 Corinthians 9. It is reminder of our God given opportunity to let him work though us through our giving. Authentic Ministry only begins when we sow ministry seeds of faith through our generosity. I do appreciate your prayers as I prepare for our study this coming Sunday.
