Calling out to anyone interested in leading a team for this year's crop walk.  This year’s walk has been challenged to get 10 new teams--we will receive $50.00 for every team up to $500.00. If you want to help feed America come out to the recruiter rallytonight-- Wednesday August 31, 7 PM  at United Presbyterian Church( Rt. 53 and Belmont).  Any questions?  Please contact Teresa Linaweaver.

The Evangelism team invites folks to participate in the Founder’s Day Parade on September 17^th with us.  This year’s theme is Recreation Rocks..and from our point of view...our Recreation involves God...so we are focusing on Jesus Rocks...and Jesus being our Rock...and plain old Rocking for Jesus...so we will be walking with T-shirts that state that..and periodically doing our Flash Mob...rocking to the music...I Refuse...!!!!  We’re hoping lots of people come out to join the fun with us...we will be practicing the next 3 Saturdays at the church from 1-3..join us.  Call Chris 815-212-0574 with questions....  Peace out!

LWR School Kits:  We had a great time cutting, ironing, sewing, threading the rope through the back packs, encouraging, visiting and snacking!!  If you took material home to make bags, please return them by Sept. 11^th for filling.  Thanks to everyone for your support of this worthwhile project. 

Be sure to get your family copy of the September Rod and Staff newsletter on Sunday!  Here’s wishing everyone the blessings of peace, hope, faith, joy, health and love!
