2 Note from the Pastor: Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. II Timothy 4:-4 One of the distinctives of Chapin Presbyterian Church is the preaching of the Word of God. It is critical in this day and age to clearly proclaim the truth of the Scriptures. We have received good feed back about our summer series on the heroes of the Bible. It is always exciting to study some of the great characters of the Bible and how we see Jesus working in them and through them. I have appreciated a little break from the weekly expositional teaching over the summer months. We plan to do a study in the fall about the Foundations of our Faith in a study of the first three chapters of Genesis. God laid out His plan for mankind very clearly in these early verses. We need to be reminded of their truth and relevance to the culture today. Pray for your pastors and ask God to keep us faithful to study and preach the truth of the Bible. I hope you are all having a great summer. See you on Sunday. Dan Dear Church Family, THANK YOU I wanted to thank Chapin Presbyterian Church on behalf of the Chapin Varsity Boys Tennis Team for allowing us to hold our annual banquet in our wonderful facility.

First of all, thank you to all of the children (and parents) who sent food for We Care during VBS. I got a note from Don Paczynski (our We Care person) telling me we collected 470 lbs. of food! He said that it was wonderful in helping to refill the shelves during a very slow summer season. Good job kids! Also, another big THANK YOU to Shirley & Buddy Kirby! You probably didn t know this but for a very long time (maybe since the beginning of Chapin Pres) they have been baking the bread that is used during the Sunday communion services (when Dan breaks the loaf; that bread). We really appreciate their faithfulness for so many years. Alena Coulter is now going to be baking this bread, and we are grateful to her. Be sure to note the Care Calendar for the Goings 14708/Goings. We all pray the Lord s best for sweet Ruthie! The Moveable Feast ladies will be lunching a the Social Grill in Ballentine this month. You know the drill, let me know if you can join us. Hope you can! See you all Sunday!

5 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men. Colossians 3:3 Preschool version: Do everything for God. New verse for August: I can do everything through Him who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13 Preschool version: I can do everything because God gives me strength. Our new verse for August is a great one to hide in our hearts! Hope all HISKIDZ will have it memorized soon! We had a wonderful week at VBS, and we praise God for His abundant blessings! We had approximately 150 children registered and 96 volunteers. We collected lots of cans for We Care, met some missionaries that our church supports, learned lots about Jesus, and gave out Bibles to children who didn t have one. God opened the hearts of several children to invite Him to be their Savior. It was a great week, and we say THANK YOU to our church family for supporting our children s ministry! Our Sunday School lesson this week is about Moses and how God protects us.
