BIBLE STUDY FOR MILITARY SPOUSES BEGINNING JUNE 19
If you’re tired of worrying about all the “what ifs” in your life and want to experience the calm and contentment promised in Scripture, Calm My Anxious Heart by Linda Dillow is what you’ve been looking for. Filled with encouragement and practical help for overcoming anxiety, this book includes a twelve-week Bible study to help you discover what the Bible says about contentment and ways to apply it to your daily life.
All military spouses are invited to this study beginning Tuesday, June 19. Please sign up on the sheet that will be in the atrium May 27-June 17. We will meet in the multi-purpose room at 9:30 for a time of fellowship with the larger Bible study group; then we’ll break out at 10:00 to a smaller room for our study. Childcare is provided until 11:30. This study will be co-led by Rebecca Flanigan and Shirley Flanagan.
CARE BOXES – June 21
The next shipment of care boxes to our deployed members, family, and friends will be March 22. So we will be collecting items between now and then in the collection box in the fellowship hall at church. A shopping list of recommended items are listed below and also found on the military table in the fellowship hall at church. Forms for names and addresses for the recipients are also on this table.
If you’d like to bake items, please bring them by the church anytime on Wednesday, June 20. A collection point for these items will be in the multi-purpose room next to the church office.
Boxes will be packed the morning of Thursday, June 21, in the multi-purpose room. If you’d like to help in packing, please contact Shirley Flanagan.
As always, thanks for your help in this. Be sure to look at the military board in the church hallway to read thank you notes from the recipients of past boxes.
