Confirmation Class for tomorrow, July 15 th, has been cancelled. Today is our first Adopt-A-Cop meet and greet between services. We are sponsoring Officer Carissa Cruz and ask you to commit to pray for her and her family on a daily basis. Officer Cruz has been with the Sandusky Police Department since August 27, 2015. She loves community policing and the opportunity to interact with the children of the community. If you would like to drop off a note or card of encouragement, there is a drop off box in the church office. Kids, you can make a card or draw a picture for her! All correspondence will be delivered to her at the end of the month, so this is a unique opportunity to share our support with local Law Enforcement. If you are interested in participating or have any questions, please contact Suella Davis at 419-656-5999 or davishealth1@yahoo.com Lectionary Study Readings July 22nd: Jeremiah 23:1-6, Psalm 23, Ephesians 2:11-22, and Mark 6:30-34, 53-56 Every Tuesday at 1:00 p.m. Pastor Eric and Pastor Katie Suggitt lead a Common Lectionary Text Study at Mr. Smith s Coffee House.
