The Helping Hands Ministry encourages you to send some “sunshine” (i.e., a card) to let them know that we are thinking of them and are keeping them in our prayers.

There are Children’s bulletins on the table for children to use during Worship Service.  We have Jr. Church during both services, but children are welcome to stay with their parents during service upstairs.  Feel free to use the crayons; please return the crayons to the table at the end of service.

There will be a meeting of the Emergency Management Group on Tuesday, August 5 at 7:00 p.m. in the church library.

There is a sign-up sheet on the table to provide a meal for Barb & Gregg Lemmon.  Please sign your name & what you might bring on a day in this calendar.  Please use foil containers and lids (there are some on the table).  This helps greatly, so no one needs to wash or return pans.  Barb is allergic to seafood.  If you have questions, contact Teresa Faidley or Barb Snyder.

A Note of Thanks…

Thank you to all who helped with and/or attended the Retiree Lunch.  We served about 182 meals with 159 people eating at the Fellowship Center and 23 meals delivered to shut-ins.  A special Thank You to the 25+ volunteers that made the meal possible.

To alleviate some current confusion about Jr. Church.
There is Jr. church every week for the little kids.
There is Jr. church for all ages on the fifth Sunday.

For the older kids there is NO Jr. church on the FIRST Sunday of the month.  This is so they can experience worship with their families once a month.

I am looking to find adults who are interested in working with the youth group. Anyone interested please reach out to Karey Vough through call or text (814) 969-2817. The goal is to create a group of 4-5 adults who will use their gifts and talents to disciple students from 6th grade up.

There is a sign up for volunteers to help with the Youth Summer Cafe in Confluence at the community center. Distribution is every Monday and Thursday beginning June 12th through August 14th. Volunteers are needed from 10:15-Noon. Thank you for your help!

I AM…The Resurrection and the Life
Aug. 3, 2025

John 11:1-6, 17-27, 33-44 1 Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. 2 (This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.) 3 So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one you love is sick.” 4 When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.” 5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. 6 So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days, 7 and then he said to his disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.”

17 On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days. 18 Now Bethany was less than two miles[b] from Jerusalem, 19 and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them in the loss of their brother. 20 When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed at home. 21 “Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.” 23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” 24 Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; 26 and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”  27 “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”

33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. 34 “Where have you laid him?” he asked.  “Come and see, Lord,” they replied. 35 Jesus wept. 36 Then the Jews said, “See how he loved him!” 37 But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?” 38 Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance. 39 “Take away the stone,” he said. “But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.” 40 Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?” 41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.” 43 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” 44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”
