PASTOR'S BLOG
What a humanitarian crisis the still-unfolding story out of Kabul has become for Afghanistan, for the United States, and for the world community. What is a civilization to do? A picture is worth a thousand words? Seared on our minds is the image of that desperate father, plastered against a cement wall by the panicking crowd behind him and frantically trying to hoist his infant child high overhead to the American Marine standing atop the barricade. The soldier, spotting the father and child, instinctively leans over the razor barb wire curls, to grab the baby by its arm and lift it over the razor wire.

Work Bee Participants
You Are the Best!
A huge thank you to each of the 35+ individuals and whole families who gave their time to come out on Sunday morning, August 15, for our annual Pioneer Work Bee. You worked hard and your efforts paid off beautifully in trimming bushes and trees, and in the laborious task of weeding. We had fun working side by side and getting to know each other. Thank-you for bringing your talents and tools to spiff up the exterior of our spiritual home. You are so appreciated. Many thanks, also, to the University for supplying the much needed mulch for the east end entrances. Hope to see each of you out again next year.
–Karen Nelson
Offering for August 28, 2021
“All the Israelite men and women who were willing brought to the Lord freewill offerings for all the work the Lord through Moses and commanded them to do.” Exodus 35:29. In ancient Israel, God’s people generously and sacrificially gave for the building of the sanctuary, so much so that Moses asked them to stop giving. “And they spoke to Moses, saying, “the people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which the Lord commanded us to do.” Exodus 36:5.
