P.Y.T.B.Y.G.
As summer rolls along, the Board of Trustees wants to remind everyone to PYTBYG. That means, "Pay your tithe before you go". Even though you go on vacation, the church doesn't . So don't forget to pay your tithe.
ROUND-UP SUNDAY HELPERS NEEDED
We are looking for some help with Round-Up Sunday service on September 12th at the high school. Call the church office if you are interested in helping.
YARD SALE
There will be some sales in the lower yard on August 7th, beginning at 8 a.m. If you would like to have a table, contact the church office. We do the advertising, guarantee at least one table and chairs, and ask for a donation of 10% of your profits. You are responsible for your own change, any extra tables you might need and getting set up by 8 a.m. You may close whenever you wish. At this time we know of six sales planned. Come join us to have a sale or just come and shop.
OREGON FOR CHRIST
"OREGON FOR CHRIST", an annual offering taken at this time of year, is specifically for new church "plants" in our district area, namely Oregon and S.W. Washington. The goal for this year's offering is a state-wide total of $15,000. We will join with all Church of God congregations in our district to give to this worthy cause - starting new churches and helping newly formed congregations. We will take this special offering on August 1st. This offering will also be presented in the opening worship service at Campmeeting in Brooks, Oregon.

The ladies are reading a new book: "The Yada Yada Prayer Group". They will get together on Sunday, August 22nd at 5:30 p.m. to discuss it. Get your copy and start reading ! All ladies are invited to participate.
PLANNING FOR FALL
As planning begins for September and all the back-to-school details that go along with it, our Board of Christian Education, is looking for teachers and helpers. The official kick-off for our midweek program will be Wednesday September 22 when our supper mealtimes will re-start. If you would like to team up with someone to help with the kid's program, contact Teri Brickey. Our program is getting big enough that we need to start new classes for some age groups.
NEW BOOKS

Mike and Bonnie Wasson: Pray for their son-in-law, J. R Barnes, as he trains to go to Iraq. Also pray for J. W. Cleveland (son of Barb and Tom Cleveland) who is in the same group of soldiers.
Kathleen O'Hara: Pray for her grandaughter, Elina, who has been diagnosed with neurofibromytosis, a non-malignant tumor condition, that is currently affecting her optic nerves. Pray that this condition doesn't develp into anything more serious or cause serious complications. Also pray for Kathleen and Dennis as they have officially moved to White Salmon. Look at Sunday's bulletin to get their address or call the church office. They would love to get mail from you.
FARMERS: Pray for our area wheat farmers as they continue with wheat harvest. Pray that the season is successful for them and their workers. Many of our church family are directly affected with local area harvests.
