Monday Announcements 7/09/12

Happy Monday Everyone!  

I hope everyone had a happy and enjoyable July 4th and July 4th weekend.  I only have a few announcements and prayer requests, as I have been out of town since Tuesday afternoon.  I’m not as in-tune with the happenings of Loving Grace as I normally am.  So, without further ado, here we go.

The Youth Group will be meeting this Wednesday at our normal time and location.  The night’s Special Guest Speaker is Ed Webster.  Everyone is welcome, so come on out. 

Youth Group Party date will be announced at this Wednesday’s meeting.  (It’s about time, right?)  Come out, and be one of the first to know!  For those of you who cannot make it to the meeting, I will post the date on the blog on Thursday morning. 

Also at this Wednesday’s meeting, I will be asking all of you for Community Service ideas.  We, as the Youth group, should have an active role in helping our community and our church families.  Community Service could be fund raising or volunteering.  I would like for us to have at least one Community Service idea ready by the start of September.  Bring your thinking caps Wednesday!

I hope everyone has memorized the Verse of the Month!  I’ll be quizzing everyone I see this Sunday.  I’m teaching Sunday school this Sunday, so I know I’ll get to see some of you.  Galatians 4:4, “But when the fullness of time came, God sent forth his son, born of a woman, born under the law.” 

I have prayers of thanks for safe travels.  I just came back from seeing my side of the family in Upstate Western New York State.  We had almost no traffic delays, and we had great traveling weather. 

I have prayers of thanks to one of our church families who recently adopted.  I just saw on Facebook that *L* has been with us for a month!  It amazes me how quickly that time has gone by. 

I have prayers of thanks that I got to see another new addition to our church family two Sundays ago.  *S* was so tiny and cute.  I don’t think my son was that small, so it was very cool to see such a small wonder. 

If anyone has any prayer requests they would like posted, please send me an e-mail or tell me when you see me. 

I guess I had a lot more announcements and prayer requests than what I first thought.  Anyway, that’s all for now.  Next post will be Wednesday, Lord willing.
