Upcoming Events and Items of Interest:
Coming this week:
This Sabbath is WAA Teacher Dedication. We invite all of our WAA staff to join us during the 11:15a.m. worship service for a special blessing. We ask our congregation to pray for our teachers, school and students this week and throughout the year.
Sunday, August 17, our Church Elders are invited to an informal breakfast in their honor at 9:00a.m. in the fellowship hall.
BE CAREFUL! You may have noticed some construction going on around the front and side of the church. Please watch your step and steer clear of the caution tape. In order to install a cell tower up in our steeple, workmen need to dig down below our foundation, thus the deep trenches. Please do take care to avoid these areas.
Coming in the weeks ahead:
Sabbath, August 23 offers you two very special events: Join world renowned singer, Jennifer LaMountain, for a vespers service at 6:00pm in the sanctuary. The concert will feature songs from her newest album, “Confessions: Hymns and Songs of Faith.” Come join Jennifer for an evening of inspirational music and testimony. To find out more about Jennifer’s ministry visit www.jenniferlamountain.com....
Then head over to our WAA campus for…
WAA Classroom Dedication. This event will start immediately following the Jennifer LaMountain concert, approximately 7:15pm. You will begin at the entrance to the school, praying, singing and asking for God’s blessing over each room within. This evening has been designed with you in mind, to offer you the richness of God's blessings as we close His Sabbath day.
Divorce Care begins a new 13 week session on August 21. This group meets every Thursday evening at 7:00pm in the Fellowship hall for 13 weeks. Please Call Sheila St.Jean with questions. (614) 431-7268
Little Lambs Church Daycare: A new ministry has been established that will provide a place for your preschooler to play while you enjoy the second service. You will drop off your child in the cradle roll room and be given a pager to keep during the service. This is available second service only and begins on September 6th. If you would like to volunteer, contact Robin McGhee, rmlucki@columbus.rr.com or Kari Gerstenberger, karigerstenberger@hotmail.com.
Outdoor Church at Sharon Wood Metro Park – Mark your calendar for September 27 when Pastor Bob and friends will present a delightful service in the beautiful setting of Sharon Woods Park. Of course it wouldn’t be an Adventist event without a potluck, so plan to bring your favorite casserole to share.
Time is running short to register for this year’s Ohio Women’s Retreat taking place at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Dublin Ohio on September 19-21. Application deadline is Monday, August 25 for room reservations. Pick up a brochure or check it out online at www.ohioadventist.org.
Volunteer at Mohaven! Take a break from the city and spend a few hours tending to God's Garden of Eden right here in Ohio -- at Mohaven! Tree branches need trimming, and dry stone planters and edging need to be laid. Interior drywall, paint, and flooring, etc. need to be applied as well. This is a great Sunday afternoon getaway for an individual, a family, or more. Afterwards, maybe you can take a dip in the pool, or ride a horse. Come share in the blessing! Just call Lucy at (740) 599-6111 to make arrangements.
The Spotlight's on You!
When driving in to work today, I couldn’t help but notice the nicely manicured roses out by the road in front of our church. That’s thanks to James Steen. The boxwoods have been nicely trimmed, the rose bushes pruned and the ivy tamed thanks to Tom & Bonnie Essman and Mary Fran Sciulli (keeping that ivy tamed is no easy task). Bill and Dee Wagner and Stephenie Henriquez have also been spotted giving love and attention to our many flower beds. And of course there is B.L. Knecht who keeps our automated watering system in working order. Thank you to these folks and others who lend a hand.
