Additionally, we hope to share lots of pictures so that you will be able to actually SEE the many ways that God continues to bless us through worship, study, and wonderful friendships.

An Exciting Few Weeks Ahead!

Lots will be happening here at the Glenmora Church of Christ over the next few weeks!

7/10-7/15- Junior High Week @ CYE
- There were 11 baptisms at the week for elementary school-aged kids a few weeks ago.  Let's be praying for God to work in the hearts of our Junior High Youth in a similar way!

7/18-7/22- VBS with Sonny Childs Summer MAP Program
- VBS is just two and a half weeks away!  There are fliers in the foyer with information for church members, and we will soon be placing yard signs, and creating fliers to pass out to those in the community.  Also, that Sunday we will be having a potluck to get things started off right.  The church is providing the meat so bring a side-dish, or if you are a visitor, just bring your appetite! 

7/24-7/29- Senior High Week @ CYE
- On the heels of VBS our Senior High students will be going off for a week of camp at CYE.  Pray that they will grow spiritually, and be made more into the likeness of Jesus Christ!

Also, continue to remember those in need of our prayers:
- Stacy Bynog and her son Seth, who are members of the McArthur Drive congregation.  Stacy is experiencing sotmach pain, with the possibility of a gall bladder disorder, while Seth is scheduled to have a tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, and ear tubes placement next week.
- Bo Johnson will be leaving for a mission trip to Honduras in the next few days.  Pray for safe travels, and especially for a successful trip.
- Mamie Grantham was sick with bronchitis on Sunday.  Pray for her swift recovery. 
- Abby Arnaud will be having heart surgery soon.
- Also be praying for Leah Dauzat and Bob Morrow as they continue to struggle with health problems. 
- Marie Cook had a liter of fluid drained from around her lungs last week, but she only felt better for a few days before her problems began to recur.  Pray that her doctors will be able to find a permanent solution to her difficulties. 

We also want to give thanks that brother George Johnson is feeling better.  There is still room for improvement, but we are certainly glad that he is heading in the right direction!

Thanksgiving for things past, present, and future!

As you might have guessed, this note is all about thanksgiving for things that have happened, that are happening, and that will happen very soon!

Past:
Last week at Junior Week at CYE 11 children were baptized into Christ!  If that doesn't get you excited, I don't know what will.  Be praying for these children as well as two of our own, Cameron and Madison Strother, as they are in the beginning stages of their walk with Christ.  Their journey has just begun!

Present:
It was great to have Garrah Peters with us Sunday, just a few days after having stints put in to open up a collapsed vein.  We are grateful that she is feeling better than she has in months, and pray that she will continue to recover quickly!  We also want to keep praying for others among us like Marie Cook and George Johnson, who continue to battle health problems.  We hope that they will be feeling better real soon!

Not-so-distant future:
In just a few weeks, we will be kicking off our VBS.  Be praying for Sonny Childs and his MAP team as they prepare to come down for the week.  That Sunday, July 17th, we will be having a potluck after morning worship to get things started off on the right foot, because everyone is happy when their plate is full.  The church will be providing the meat so bring your favorite side, some friends, and an empty stomach!
