The meeting will take place in the Sanctuary at 12: 30 PM, today, July 8, PROJECT OF THE MONTH: UNREACHED PEOPLE GROUPS Across the world there are many people groups who have no access to the good news of Jesus Christ. While Tenth currently supports many partners laboring in these parts of the world, we have a vision for seeing this number increase. With that in mind, all gifts dedicated to the July Project of the Month will be allocated to unreached people groups. Cash or checks made payable to Tenth Presbyterian Church, with July Project of the Month on the memo line, may be placed in offering plates or one of the oak boxes at the Sanctuary entrances. THE SHORTER CATECHISM, circa 1647 One of the documents that explains what our church and denomination believe is known as the Shorter Catechism. We are including in the bulletin a series of questions and answers dealing with some of the essential doctrines of our faith. Question 48: What are we specially taught by these words before me in the first commandment? Answer: These words before me in the first commandment teach us that God, who seeth all things, taketh notice of, and is much displeased with, the sin of having any other god. * Congregation standing

And grant, O most merciful Father, for Jesus sake, that we may hereafter live a godly, righteous and joyful life, to the glory of Your Name.
