• As you may have read in the Echo or heard Pastor Blaine speak about on Sunday, our prayer cards are available in the Welcome Center for pickup. We hope that during the months of July and August, all of us will be intentional about praying this prayer THREE times a day, as we yearn to hear from God in this season of our lives and church life.

Other Announcements

• On Tuesday, Sept 16th we will once again be volunteering and working with Love, Inc in Fishersville. This will be different because we will not be sorting in the warehouse but working in the thrift store in Waynesboro. We will see another side of this huge process. We will be taking the items that were delivered from the warehouse out of the stockroom to put on the main floor. We might also be helping bag items for the cashier or wherever we are needed. We will work from 9:15 until 12:15. They have a meeting from 9-9:15. Pack a lunch and we will eat together if you want to. Any questions, please call or email Lori Mooney. If anyone needs a ride, let me know.
• Thank you to all who helped with the Ice Cream Extravaganza! Whether cooking hotdogs, providing ice cream, setting up, cleaning up, bringing food to share, or playing with the kids, everyone’s efforts resulted in a super fun event and lots of great fellowship. Thanks especially to our women’s ministry folks for sponsoring the event.
• Hello everyone! Barbara Long has returned to Burkholder house at VMRC. Her address is: 1328 Woodland Park Cir Rm 7, Harrisonburg, VA 22802. She looks and sounds much better. She is looking forward to seeing or speaking to all of you!
• TRUCK or TREAT is just around the corner! Sunday, October 26 is the date! This is our huge community outreach providing a safe and fun fall event. Last year we invited local businesses and organizations to bring their equipment and trucks, which proved to be a big hit! We will start collecting candy in September.
