A Sabbatical Prayer
Guide us, Lord, as we all journey through the months ahead together.
Help us to walk trustingly in faith with our parish family and to serve one another humbly.
May we always be aware of your presence and direction in all we do.
Be with Kristin+, Zachary, and Jasper and give them joy and contentment as they travel, and return them safely to us. Amen.

It has been a month since the beginning of Rev. Kristin’s sabbatical leave. It is our hope that you will continue to use the prayer provided by the Sabbatical Team:
Guide us, Lord, as we all journey through the months ahead together.
Help us to walk trustingly in faith with our parish family and to serve
one another humbly. May we always be aware of your presence and
direction in all that we do. Be with Kristin+, Zachary and Jasper
and give them joy and contentment as they travel and return them
safely to us. Amen.
In the meantime, the Daughters of the King will be praying for our parish members on a rotating schedule. It is the hope of the Daughters and the Sabbatical Team that you will contact us if you have any prayer concerns. We are here for you.
Hoping everyone has the opportunity to enjoy some get-away time this summer.

Basket Raffle
DONATIONS FOR SILENT AUCTION REQUESTED
Donations of specialty items of higher value for our Silent Auction are being accepted with a deadline of August 28th. Also, we will still accept items for the Basket Raffle.
Items for the Silent Auction would be those that would generate higher bids by themselves rather than as a part of a basket. Such items could include paintings, quilts, unopened perfume, fine jewelry or high-value gift certificates, and the like.
All donations may be placed in the labeled large blue tub under the table in the narthex. Please direct any questions to me at Ladyzip2004@yahoo.com or 301-788-0136.
Thank you, in advance, for your help to support our biggest annual fundraising endeavor.

The Bible Stories for Preschoolers is a fun opportunity to read a Bible story and do a coloring activity (provided) and to get to know our little ones. The 3rd-5th grade class is also in need of a teacher. This group, along with the rest of our classes, uses Living the Good News Curriculum. A Leader’s Guide with lesson plans and suggested activities is available. Both the Bible Story class and 3rd-5th class can be a shared teaching position.
