Peace Toolbox: The
tool in our peace toolbox this week is a footprint. Peace doesn't just happen by itself. We need tools to help us make peace at home,

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Next Sunday we will be
celebrating communion as we recognize that Jesus brings all of us to the
table--even our enemies. We will be passing the elements down the row of
chairs. All are welcome to partake.
Please join us at BlossomMusicCenter
as the Cleveland Orchestra performs "Symphonie
Fantastique" on July 20. Please let Mary or Wanda know if you are interested in
having a relaxing Sunday evening with a picnic and wonderful music. Tickets are
$13 for those under 62 (for a group of 10 or more) and $10 for seniors (62 and
older).
Tax refunds: Have
you already "spent" your tax refund? Consider other ways to put it to
good use: Start an emergency fund, pay off more of your credit card balance, or
invest in a retirement fund. Increase your tithing or donate some to a
charitable organization. Talk to our MMA advocate, Stan, to be connected with
an MMA counselor for ideas.
Used book donations for the August 1 & 2 Ohio
Relief Sale may be taken to Central
Christian School
July 28-30.

Mission Network workers Aaron and Laura Kauffman request prayer for church
planters Elsy and Martin González and the church planting project in Anapoima,
Colombia. Pray for a
suitable lot and sufficient funds to build a Christian community center.
