O U R M I S S I O N

S T A T E M E N T :

F I R S T N O T E S

I got to hold two

babies today, two

bundles of energy named

Levi and Landon, the

twin sons of Skye and

Wade Kimbrel. We had

the high privilege to be

present at their baptisms

this past Sunday, July

21st. By the time you

read this, their big day

will be a memory, but it

doesnt stand in

isolation. Do you

remember that littlestretch of scripture Paul

wrote to Timothy? Here

it is:

I am reminded of yourI am reminded of yourI am reminded of yourI am reminded of your

sincere faith, a faith thatsincere faith, a faith thatsincere faith, a faith thatsincere faith, a faith that

Wow. A faith thattransmits with power

from generation to

generationour faith.

Just think about this for

a minute: Cindy to

Skye, to Levi and

Landon. And I havent

even taken it upstream

from Cindy! It runs

deep, true and strong in

families and faith

communities. It was

true in Paul and

Timothys time, it is true

nowa spirit of power

and of love and of

self-discipline.

Why, its enough to

rekindle the gift of God

that is inyou! Will you

let it?

Grace and peace,Pastor Paul

True BeautyTrue BeautyTrue BeautyTrue Beauty

For Attractive lips,speak words ofkindness.

For lovely eyes, seekout the good in people.

For a slim figure,share your food with

the hungry.For beautiful hair, let

a child run their fingersthrough it once a day.

For poise, walk withthe knowledge that younever walk alone.

People, more thanthings, have to be re-stored, renewed, re-vived, reclaimed, andredeemed. Remember

if you ever need a helping hand, you will findone at the end of eachof your arms.

As you grow older, yowill discover that youhave two hands, one fohelping yourself and thother for helping others
