Kathie Lewis - August 3rd

Rev. and Mrs. Joyce - August 4th

God's Gang is coming to Doubs Chapel. It will be the coolest place for the youth of our church and local community to learn about the love of Jesus!

WHEN: At 5:30 p.m. on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month.

WHO: Young people, grades 5 - 8, will meet to break bread, receive the Word during the "Rap Session" and "Word-Life", and enjoy the Rumble Room where the kids run off some steam while enjoying activities and games that enhance the lesson for that week.

As God's Gang is not only a youth program but a church outreach, we are asking adults of the church to participate. We'll need van drivers, teams to prepare the meal, people to address postcards to announce the events, and lots of prayers!

Everyone can serve in some capacity. Contact Tara Ritter, 947-1957; Paula Garrison, 947-5954, or Debra Black, 215-0553.

Remember, God charges us to "train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:

A fifth-grade teacher in a Christian school asked her class to look at TV commercials and see if they could use them in some way to communicate ideas about God. Here are some of the results:

God is like...Bayer Asprin. He works miracles.

God is like...Allstate. You are in good hands with Him.

God is like...VO-5 Hair Spray. He holds through all kinds of weather.

God is like...Dial soap. Aren't you glad you have him? Don't you wish everybody did?

God is like...The US Post Office. Neither rain nor snow nor sleet nor ice will keep Him from His appointed destination.

God is like...Chevrolet. The heart beat of America.

God is like...Maxwell House coffee. Good to the very last drop.

God is like...Bounty. He is the quicker picker upper, can handle the tough jobs, and He won't fall apart on you.
