News for the week of Sunday, July 22, 2007.

News:

Vacation Bible School: VBS is scheduled for August 6-10 from 9 a.m. to noon. In order to have enough materials for VBS please let us know who is coming, their address and their grade in school. There is a sign up sheet on the table in the gathering area.

Building Healthy Families: This is the week that 10,000 bikers will roll across Iowa from the northwest corner to the eastern border with RAGBRAI. Remember them (including the LFS team members) in your prayers, and consider using them as inspiration. What can you do this week to push yourself to do something a little out of the ordinary? You might not ride a bike 465 miles in 7 days, but you can take the initiative to do something! What will be your RAGBRAI? Lutheran Family Service of Iowa 1-800-622-7285

The Lutheran Hour is broadcast weekly and may be heard on Sundays on WGN, Chicago 720AM at 6:00 a.m.; WMT, Cedar Rapids 600AM at 6:30 a.m.; KXEL, Waterloo 1540AM at 7:00 a.m.; KCHA, Charles City 1580 at 7:30 a.m.; and KWAY, Waverly 1470 a.m. at 8:00 a.m. This next week's sermon is "Belonging to One Another" Guest Speaker: Rev. Mark Brandt.

Outreach Idea: When Mary Magdalene saw the risen Lord, she could not hold back her joy but went quickly to tell the disciples the good news of His resurrection. By baptism we have been buried with Christ and raised again to live a new life. What good news of salvation we have to share with others because Jesus lives and so also we live!

Stewardship Thought: All people who are confronted by Jesus fall into one of two categories: either they reject Him or they joyfully believe in Him and produce works of love. May we always be counted among the children of God who do things that honor God and bless others.

August Newsletters are available for you to pick up today. They can be found on the table in the gathering area. Be sure to pick up yours, as well as one of someone who isn't here this morning so that you can deliver it to them this week.
