Announcements:
Little Lambs is doing their annual Back to School Supply Drive from August 3 to August 31st. The supplies donated will be taken to local elementary schools. If you would like to donate, please check out the bulletin board for the supplies needed.
Fall is just around the corner and planning has begun for a new year of activities! If you are interested in joining our education team, please contact Pastor Russell.

SAVE THE DATE:
We are inviting everyone from our church family to join our high school youth group and help with our annual ditch clean-up on Sunday, September 13th, at 1:00 p.m. Our church is responsible for cleaning the stretch of road from Highway 14 at Casey’s to 24205 Highway 3, and we would love to have as many volunteers as possible join us! Many hands make light work!
After we finish, we will gather at Wilder Park for lunch and fellowship provided by the youth group.
If you plan to help, please let Kristol know at 319-239-1374 so we can plan accordingly.
Bring your family, invite a friend, and help us serve our community together! We hope to see you there!
