5 THE ABYWEST COMMUNITY CENTER IS COMING ALIVE! As we continue fundraising to meet our $12 million goal to complete AbyWest, we would like to share preliminary renderings of the Community Center s Reception Area and Fellowship Hall. We envision a space where members can gather and fellowship before and after worship services, and it would also function as a Hall for special occasions and events. We urge you to continue supporting this effort, and remain diligent and prayerful as we strive to reach our goal.

6 CHRISTIAN EDUCATION BIBLE QUEST How many questions can you answer before checking the Abyssinian church website for he correct Bible references? Stay intentional about taking time to center yourself, as you read the entire chapter where answers are found. 1. Which king permitted the Jews to return to Jerusalem from exile in Babylon? 2. Which disciple was freed from prison by an angel? 3. Who were the two disciples that healed the man placed at the temple gate called Beautiful? 4. Who was set free from sickness after touching the edge of Jesus cloak? MINISTRY The Abyssinian Food Pantry Ministry extends its deep appreciation to ALL who ve made donations to our church s Food Distribution effort. There remains a need for non-perishables such as: canned vegetables, canned fruits, and canned soup. Please leave donations of these items at the lobby reception desk any weekday during office hours: (10 AM 6 PM), and/or on Sundays following worship services. We thank God for your Spirit of Generosity! For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink MATTHEW 25:35 The Sister-to-Sister Book Ministry has chosen for its summer read, "Born A Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood," by Trevor Noah.
