Luke 12:32-40 Devotional
If Jesus came back today, would He find our lamps burning bright, or would we scramble to light them? In Jesus's time, a wedding banquet could last hours or even days. Servants did not know exactly when the master would return, but they kept their lamps trimmed and burning and fuel ready, so that at the very moment the door swung open for the master, they were ready.
Now, we are called to live like these servants, not with fear, but spiritually alert in regular prayer and study of the Word of God - active in the service of the church using our gifts for God's Kingdom, and dressed for action with our lamps lit, and ready for our master's return? Jesus Christ is coming!
God bless,
Pastor Moose

Teacher Baskets
Help us celebrate our silent heroes by donating snack items for breakroom baskets. These items will be distributed among the various buildings in the Knob Noster District for teachers as they prepare for the upcoming year. All items must be individually wrapped. You may bring items to the church or contact the office to have them picked up. Their first day to return to their rooms will be August 11.

Food Pantry Shortage
Ursula from the Christian Church (Community) Food Pantry asks for help with food. The things they need most are canned meats, macaroni and cheese, any macaroni products, canned fruit, especially canned peaches, and soup in large cans. Whatever we can help with would be appreciated.
