Welcome!
We extend a special welcome to our guests, visitors and all who join us in worship today. Please let us know of your
presence or any prayer requests you have by filling out one of the cards in the pew rack and placing them in the offering
plate. We hope that our church home becomes your church home and the spiritual place where you grow through the
Word of God.

Nursery care for children up to three years old is located on the main floor of the Welcome Center across from the
library. Older children attending the church service are encouraged to borrow a Toddler Tote filled with activities as you enter
the Sanctuary.

Concerning the Sacrament of the Altar
We believe that Jesus offers Himself to us in the Sacrament His true body and blood, for the forgiveness of sins. We also
share the scriptural concern for those who participate in the Lords supper that they recognize what they are receiving
(1 Corinthians 11:27). Therefore, we ask that all who desire to receive the Lords Supper please carefully examine
themselves using the communion information card found in the pew rack.
Communion is celebrated on the 1
st
and 3
rd
Sundays at both services.

For those who desire, we offer gluten-free wafers (please indicate your desire to the Pastor or Elder) and
non-alcoholic wine (located in the inner circle of the individual cup tray).

CONFESSION
C: God, we confess that we dont always understand our own actions. We clearly know what is rightwhat
you expect of us, but we dont always do it. We also clearly know what is wrong - the thoughts and actions
that hurt others and offend you - but we do these things anyway. Forgive us. Through Jesus Christ our Lord,
set us free from the sin that controls us.

GENEROSITY TIP OF THE MONTH JULY
Practical suggestions to aid Disciples of Jesus in taking on the character of Jesus,
especially the character attribute of generosity.

Not all forms of generosity look alike. Generosity is practiced with our time, our patience, our kindness, and our goodness. In
fact, thinking about Pauls words in Galatians 5, talking about the Fruit of the Spirit, it would be easy to conclude that
generosity is a fruit of the Fruit of the Spirit! Not all generosity is shown through the giving of money, but also through the
sacrifices we make with our time, our gifts, our opportunities, and our actions. However, every form of generosity will
inspire and serve to increase generosity in multiple ways, including being generous with our financial gifts. For example,
instead of being protective of that place in line that comes open, you could offer it to the person who got there just a split
second behind you. As you begin to make such sacrifices and put others first, it will be just a matter of time that you will do
the same with parking places and lane changes and more. Soon your kindness and generosity will overflow into other
relationships at work, at school, at home, and even at church. In fact, such generosity will become a part of your character,
and will be seen in all aspects of a disciples life, including the treasures God has given you.

Tip of the Month: Me Second!

1. This month, look for opportunities to be second instead of first, allowing others to go ahead of you. Some examples
include:
a. When you are going to the check out line at the store, dont be afraid to let the person who gets there at the same time
to go ahead of you, even if they have more groceries than you!
b. If someone else comes to the empty parking place when you do, let them park there, even if you have to walk further
(think of the positives of the exercise you will get )!
c. Offer a hand to your neighbor who is struggling with a project at home, before you tend to your own project.
d. Help a coworker with his work, instead of just focusing on your own.
2. At the end of the month (or in a couple of months), take a moment to observe to what degree generosity in one area
impacted generosity in another.

Future tips:
- Count Your Blessings!
- What can I do vs. What can I keep
