One day at a time….that’s the way God provided manna from heaven to the wilderness bound Israelites. And that’s the way God provides for us. What that is, is a call to faith on our part. But we can trust in God to provide, because God is faithful, and has proven to be that over the ages, in good times and bad, in wilderness times and in times of plenty.
As this week now unfolds, here are some ways and settings in which we can live out that trusting relationship with God.
Tomorrow, Tuesday, August 7, at 6pm, there will be an “Interfaith Drumming Event” at Temple Beth Shalom, with just our two congregations, as we see what it’s like “being in rhythm together”. This is for children and adults alike.
On Wednesday our Youth Group will be meeting at its regular time (6:30pm). We are inviting all members of the Youth Group and their parents to be a part of this gathering as we look ahead to this new school year, share what has been the best part about Youth Group, what we can do better perhaps, or what new things we might want to try. We also realize that this is “Band Camp” week, so a number of our regulars will be making music elsewhere. But we will be open to any thoughts or ideas that they or any others would like to email or bring in at another time. Special thanks to Ed and Kelly Elsebough for being a couple of the key people in our ongoing Youth Ministry.
Looking ahead, the week of August 18-19 will be the “Blessing of the Backpacks”, along with an opportunity to give a monetary donation to provide backpacks for students in Suriname. Watch for more info as we get closer to that weekend.
And looking a little farther ahead, do you like to run? “Run for God” is a 3 month program that will start Tuesday Sept. 4 which will connect your physical and spiritual well being in a program that combines Bible Study and running! How cool does that sound?! Our thanks to Jim Tardi for spearheading this program.
Finally, in the “Lost and Found” department, a nice camera, with a telephoto lens, has shown up in the lobby in church. If you are missing this camera or know of someone who is, let us know.

May you have a blessed week, experiencing, and sharing, God’s grace one day at a time. Pastor Jack +
