New Bible Study
It's Not Too Late:  How God Uses Less-than-Perfect People, written by Dr. Tony Evans, will be our next Wednesday night Bible study.
If you've ever wondered, if it is too late for God to do something with me, this study is for you.  God frequently uses broken people to accomplish His purposes on earth.  A broken person who has learned dependence on God is a force to be reckoned with.  This study looks at three men and three women of the Bible who were used mightily by God despite their previous mistakes.  You, too, can learn to focus on the potential of your future, not the missteps of your past.
Join us Wednesday, August 15, at 7:00 PM as we begin this new Bible study.

Nominating Committee Recommendations Approved
Recommendations from the Nominating Committee were approved Sunday, July 29, 87-0.  Copies of their report are available on the tables at the entrances to the Sanctuary.

Newly elected ushers are asked to pick up their schedules from the mailboxes right outside of the Sanctuary.  Please see Paul Smith if you have questions.
