July Themes:  A.M. - Jesus said, “I will build My church.”
                                                                   P.M. - In Christ all things become new.

      Our 2008 Vacation Bible School - “
Walking in Son Light” - has been a huge  success!  Thank you    
to every member of the St. Andrews Road congregation for your support.  Our brother, Bill Young,
was our coordinator this year.  He did an outstanding job recruiting, organizing, scheduling, and
promoting every aspect of our VBS.  Bill had shoulder surgery on Wednesday.  We hope and pray that
this surgery will give him many more years of service to the Lord and to the church at SAR.

      Thank you to the members of our youth group who came out early last Saturday to clean and
decorate the building.  Everything looked marvelous.

      Thank you to those who preregistered and registered every student.

      Thank you to those who coordinated our snacks.  Isn’t it funny how much you enjoy the simple
things in life — a cookie and a drink at just the right time!  Mmm!

      Thank you to those who brought drinks, cookies, popcorn, and other snack items.  Without you,     
we would have had some hungry boys and girls!

      Thank you to those who presented our skits every night.

      Thank you to those who helped with our crafts.

      Thank you to those who moved furniture and decorated the auditorium.

      Thank you to those who came out every night to study God’s word and enjoy the wonderful
Christian fellowship.  We were here from 6:00 p.m. to well after   9:00 p.m.  We enjoyed every
minute            of it!

      Thank you to those who made the delicious home-made ice cream and to those who cooked our
hamburgers and hot dogs on Thursday night.

      Thank you to those who stayed late on Thursday to clean up and get our facilities back in order!

      Our teachers deserve a special note of appreciation!  Every teacher spent countless hours of         
study and preparation for their students.

     On the horizon we can see our 10th Annual All-Night Singing scheduled for Friday night,                
August 1st, beginning at 7:30 p.m.  Please mark you calendar for this state-wide event and make plans
to be here to sing psalms, hymns, and     spiritual songs making melody in your heart to the Lord.

 This Sunday we will focus our attention once again on the Lord’s church.  We have talked about the
origin of the church, the organization of the church, and the work of the church.  We will conclude this
series of lessons as we focus on the    FUTURE OF THE CHURCH.  As we consider this lesson, let us look
beyond the moment, beyond the day into eternity.  Jesus told his disciples in John 14:1-6; “Let not
your hearts be troubled … In My Father’s house are many mansions … I go to prepare a place for
you … I will come again … that where I am there you may be also.”
