Happy Independence Day!

232…AND STILL BEAUTIFUL!

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

~ The Continental Congress July 4, 1776

MINISTER OF THE MONTH

Green Valley is blessed to have a sister like Linda Karadunis. She has offered her voice to the Worship Team as a way to bless us on Sunday morning. She also keeps track of all our birthdays and anniversaries and sends cards to encourage and bless us. Her considerate and thoughtful dedication to these ministries make her July’s Minister of the Month. Take a moment to acknowledge her with a hug or a kind word!

CREATIVE LADIES

It’s time for another Women’s “Anything Goes Craft Night” this Friday, July 11 from 7-10 p.m. in Fellowship Hall. Bring your favorite craft to work on, to share or to show off to others. Daughters are also welcome to join in the crafting with their moms. Come enjoy the fellowship and see what other crafters are doing. Questions? Contact Mary MacLean.

FIRST SUNDAY PRAYER

Join GVCC’s Prayer Ministry Team for thirty minutes of prayer after Worship today in the Pastor Scott’s office. You’ll already be here and it won’t take much time from your day. Then see for yourself how God answers.

THE SEVEN STANDARDS OF DISCIPLESHIP

A disciple of Christ is a baptized believer whose devotion to God is demonstrated in the following ways:

1. Consistent daily prayer, Bible reading, repentance and personal renewal.

2. Regular financial contribution to the work of the Lord being carried out by the congregation.

3. An understanding of spiritual authority, demonstrating a willing submission to the guidance and counsel of the church leadership.

4. Commitment to personal accountability through involvement in a small group and/or one-on-one discipling relationship.

5. Dependable participation in the scheduled activities of the congregation.

6. Reliable service in a designated area of ministry within the congregation; under the supervision of its leadership.

7. Active compassion for those in need and a heart for the lost.

CARDS & LETTERS TO DODOMA

A local church is sending a team to Tanzania this summer, and has asked if we’d like to send correspondence to the children we support in Dodoma. Have your cards and letters in to Green Valley by July 20^th, so we can get them to the team in time to make the plane!

OVERHEARD…

Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.                                         ~George Washington

DON’T FORGET

While you and your family are off enjoying your vacation this summer, please don’t forget to continue your contributions to the Lord’s work. Ministry at Green Valley keeps happening all year long.
