Our Father who art in heaven,

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done

Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our debts as we

and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom and the
power and the glory forever.
Amen.

THE ROSE on the
altar is in celebration of the birth of Kollyns Sarah who was born to Kent and Robbyn on
Wednesday, June 16. She weighed 8
lbs. 4 oz. and measured 21½ inches.
Everyone is doing well. We
rejoice with Robbyn and Kent.
MISSION OFFERING - Our quarterly mission offering will
fund "Samaritan Grants" to be given in response to the needs of individuals
and families. These grants will allow
each of us to help anyone in need in the name of Christ and First
Mennonite Church. Thank you for helping our church fulfill its mission
in this innovative way.
LOOKING
AHEAD - We will have a special potluck meal on Sunday, July 11. Sri Mayasandra (former member of FMC) will
be visiting and will join us for lunch.
Also on that same day, we will be celebrating the upcoming wedding of
Tisha Roth and Steve Arens with a grocery shower following the lunch.
