Heavenly Father, thank you for Your
grace. Your forgiveness is SO good
that we struggle with believing it at
times. Thank You for rescuing us from
ourselves and giving us Your Holy
Spirit. Your love is better than life. As
we grow deeper in love with Him Who
first loved us, may the Holy Spirit
increase our faith, may our Savior,
Jesus Christ, hear our adoration and
thanksgiving, and may God grant that
our worship and fellowship overflow
with joy that will never end!

Join Hands
There are envelopes in the pew racks
for Join Hands, donations here helps
needy people in Perry County. Our
Church has contacted them several
times for help for the people in our
community.
Mutzy Money
We are continuing to sell Mutzy
Money, see Cindy Brookhart
downstairs during the coffee hour. We
receive 5% of what we sell to fund our
programs. We now need to contact
Cindy and pay for it when we order it.
Also, we are still collecting used cell
phones. There is a container in the
education area by the bulletin board for
them. If you have a friend who needs
to dispose of an old phone, maybe they
will donate it to us. We cannot send
the extra items, just the phone. We
earn money for what we re-cycle, they
also pay for the shipping of them. This
keeps these phones out of the waste
dumps. We also are collecting old ink
cartridges. I take them to Staples and
use the money to buy paper for the
copier.
Indian Mobile Mission Request
I just received a letter from Sylvia
Webb of Indian Mobile Mission. She
states that the I.M. M. really needs
some help with funding of The
Summer Lunch Program for the Indian
children. Sylvia says the children are
really hungry in the summer when they
are not in school. This program really
helps them. The cost is one dollar per
day per child. This
includes lunch, juice, and a Gospel
tract, geared to their age. I telephoned
Sylvia to obtain some more
information. Sylvia told me she
purchases enough food to fill her truck,
then drives to the reservation for a few
days, until all the food is given to the
children. Then Sylvia drives back to
Snowflake for another truck load. I
asked her how she distributes the
lunches. The children go to their school
bus stop every day at a scheduled time
to receive there lunch and Gospel tract.
Sylvia says the children really look
forward to the Gospel tracts. This is a
great way to spread the Gospel to the
children. If anyone would like to help
with this Summer Lunch program,
please give your donation to Bev
Reifsnyder or put it in the offering
plate in an envelope with Indian
Mobile Mission Summer Lunch
Program written on the outside of the
envelope. Sylvia thanks us for praying
for her, Ardell, and The Indian Mobile
Mission. She asks us to continue to
pray for them. I asked her how Ardell
is doing. She says he is doing well and
always gives her a hug when he sees
her. Sylvia says that is unusual because
the Navajos are not people who show
affection by hugging each other.
Thank you and God bless all of
you for your continued support to
Ardell and the Indian Mobile Mission.

JOKES
There were three men on a hill with their
watches. The first man threw his watch
down the hill and it broke. The second
man threw his watch down the hill and it
broke. The third man threw his watch
down the hill, walked all the way to the
bottom, and caught it.
The other two men were puzzled and
asked the third man how he did it.
The third man said, "Easy. My watch is 5
minutes slow!"
A Minnesota couple decided to vacation to
Florida during the winter. They planned to
stay at the very same hotel where they
spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier.
Because of hectic schedules, it was
difficult to coordinate their travel
schedules. So, the husband left Minnesota
and flew to Florida on Thursday. His wife
would fly down the following day.
The husband checked into the hotel. There
was a computer in his room, so he decided
to send an e-mail to his wife. However, he
accidentally left out one letter in her e-mail
address, and without realizing his error, he
sent the e-mail.
Meanwhile.....somewhere in Houston, a
widow had just returned home from her
husband's funeral. He was a minister of
many years who was called home to glory
following a sudden heart attack. The
widow decided to check her e-mail,
expecting messages from relatives and
friends. After reading the first message,
she fainted.
The widow's son rushed into the room,
found his mother on the floor, and saw the
computer screen which read:
To: My Loving Wife
Subject: I've Arrived
Date: 16 May 2003
I know you're surprised to hear from me.
They have computers here now and you
are allowed to send e-mails to your loved
ones. I've just arrived and have been
checked in. I see that everything has been
prepared for your arrival tomorrow.
Looking forward to seeing you then! Hope
your journey is not as uneventful as mine
was.
P.S. Sure is hot down here!
