2 LOOK Two cell phones (smart phones) have been donated to TSRC. They are each available for a donation of your choosing. They are an HTC Ozone model, and a Palm Pre Plus model. Above are pictures of each. More information is available on the internet at for the Palm Pre and at for the HTC Ozone. These phones work only on the Verizon cell phone system, and both require a data package from Verizon. If you are already a Verizon smart phone user and would like to use one of these phones instead of what you are currently using, it is likely you could switch to one of these at no additional monthly cost to you. They are available at the church for you to see. These are both in like new condition.

3 Remember the Mustard Seed Project If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to the mountain, "Move" and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you. - Matthew 17:20 The first Sunday of each month is a dedicated collection Sunday for the Sonrise project. TSRC sponsors four school children in Rwanda. Our sponsorship goes directly to providing care and schooling for them, children who actually live at the school. The yearly cost to do this is $6,000. To date, $622 has been raised. <>< <>< <>< All other outreach donations are collected on the last Sunday of the month. These include collections for local charities: The Mission, Street Angels, Pregnancy Center, and Meals on Wheels. Summertime finds many people at their northern homes or on vacation, so these collections sometimes suffer this time of year; the need, however, is still at the same level. Let s be as generous as we can to those less fortunate than ourselves. Mark your calendar to remember the charity of your choice.

4 Adult Christian Education Sundays 9:00 a.m. Beginning July 10th thru August 21 st, Deacon Joe will be leading a course of study from Focus on the Family entitled Walking With God in the Desert, which consists of seven Faith Lessons. Teacher and historian Ray Vander Laan will guide us through the land of the Bible, illuminating the historical, geographical, and cultural context of the sacred Scriptures. July 10 July 17 This week: July 24 July 31 August 7 August 14 August 21 Join the Journey It s Hot Here and There s No Way Out Help Is Here When Your Heart Cries Out They Were Not Wandering Ears to Hear There s Hope in the Desert Are you going through a difficult period of life? The loss of a loved one? Unemployment? A crisis of faith? During these desert times, it s easy to think God has disappeared. Instead, discover that it s only when we are totally dependent on Him that we find Him closer than ever and can experience God s amazing grace and provision.

8 A man died and went to The Judgment, they told him, Before you meet with God, I should tell you we ve looked over your life, and to be honest you really didn t do anything particularly good or bad. We re not really sure what to do with you. Can you tell us anything you did that can help us make a decision? The newly arrived soul thought for a moment and replied, Yeah, once I was driving along and came upon a person who was being harassed by a group of thugs. So I pulled over, got out a bat, and went up to the leader of the thugs. He was a big, muscular guy with a ring pierced through his lip. Well, I tore the ring out of his lip, and told him he and his gang had better stop bothering this guy or they would have to deal with me! Wow that s impressive, When did this happen? About three minutes ago, came the reply. TIL NEXT WEEK,
