Coming to Mt. Tabor on Sunday
evening, July 20th, is Gary Jackel, also
known as Mr. Magic. Mr. Magic is a
Christian who presents a gospel magic
show. He is from Australia, and will be in
the United States for awhile this summer
attending conventions for magicians. He
is a friend of Les and Martha Nixon, and
comes to us highly recommended.
On that same evening, there will
be a homemade ice cream social. You
know the routine! Bring some homemade
ice cream, or a cake to put it on. When our
magician friend, Mr. Magic, heard there
would be homemade ice cream on the
evening he came he remarked, “Homemade ice cream? Sounds like my kind of
church!”

Our
2008
Vacation Bible
School is now
history, but, oh,
what history!
We averaged
nearly seventy
children
for
each day of
VBS, and had
over 40 adults
helping on a daily basis. The offering to buy school
uniforms for the orphans at Eden Children’s Village
in Zimbabwe came to over $1,500.00. There were
about 180 people who attended the closing program
on Friday evening. But most important of all were
the Bible lessons teaching our young people about
heroes from the Bible: Joseph, Moses, Joshua, and
Esther. And on the last day of VBS, we learned
about Jesus, the greatest superhero of all history.
Plans are already underway for another exciting
VBS for 2009!

Out of Chris’ Kitchen
On July 27th, Ross and I will be driving to Grand
Rapids, Michigan, for classes and training to establish
the Kids Hope program between Mount Tabor and
West Washington Elementary. To say that I am
excited and anticipating this wonderful project is an
understatement. I covet your prayers as I begin this
special task. Please pray that I will absorb all that I
can in the training. Pray that I will bring back
enthusiasm and helpful ideas to the mentors. Please
pray that even now the Lord will begin preparing the
children who will be paired with adult mentors from
Mount Tabor. What a wonderful outreach we can
have!!

10 MINUTES THAT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE
The old adage “an ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure” is never so true as when dealing with
our healthcare. We will be holding a health
screening here at Mt. Tabor, in the Family Life
Center, Tuesday, August 12, 2008. Life Line
Screening uses ultrasound to determine if there is
any risk of stroke, abdominal aortic aneurysm, and
peripheral arterial disease. The tests are painless,
non-invasive and accurate. There are no needles or
radiation. The three vascular tests are $129 and if
you choose to have all three of the tests you will
receive a FREE OSTEOPOROSIS SCREENING.
This preventative program gives people the
opportunity to participate in their own healthcare.
Problems can be detected early enough for your
physician to begin preventative procedures. You
should consider these tests if you:



Are over 45 years of age.
Have high blood pressure.
Have a family history of stroke, heart
disease, abdominal aortic aneurysm or
osteoporosis.
 Are a smoker.
 Are a diabetic.
 Have high cholesterol.
 Are overweight.
Appointments are required. Call 800-679-5609 for
your appointment or for more information.
