Upcoming Events and Items of Interest:
Coming this week:
This is exciting! Our Youth Sabbath School class has been working on a drama set to the song Everything by Lighthouse that they will share with the church during 1st service this Sabbath. I know, I know, that’s Heritage Sabbath but don’t worry, if you don’t get to see it on the 26th, the group has agreed to do a vespers program of this production at a later date. It’s a timeless message set to a modern song and I’m sure you won’t want to miss it!
Our special guest speaker for our Heritage Sabbath 2nd service is Ohio Conference president, Raj Attiken. We’ve dedicated this year’s Heritage Sabbath to our Ohio Conference personnel and the warm relationship that our church has enjoyed with them throughout the years. Please be sure to stay after the 2nd service for a Fellowship Luncheon in their honor. Please bring your choice of the following to share: hors d’ oeuvres, small sandwiches, fruits, vegys, crackers & cheese or cookies.

A Shower-of-cards for a young boy injured at Camp Mohaven. Nikolas Southard, a 9 year old boy, dear friend and life long neighbor of the Sciulli family was critically injured in a bike accident at Camp Mohaven on Monday, July 7th. Some of the details are as follows: While riding his bike on the trails at Camp Mohaven, Nikolas put the brakes on hard and was flipped, landing with the handle bar doing considerable damage to his internal organs. He was life-flighted to Children's Hospital and underwent emergency surgery. His condition continues to improve everyday. He has received visits from camp friends, counselors and Pastor Bob, but we thought it might be fun for him to receive an outpouring of care from members of our Church. We thought the two best ways to do this would be sending him get-well cards and lifting him up in your prayers. If you would like to send him something in the mail, please send it to his home address, 1346 Hickory Ridge Lane, Columbus, OH 43235. Such a simple deed, such a tremendous impact! We’ll keep you updated on Nickolas’ recovery.
