his book An Angel’s View: Encountering God through the Stories of the Heavenly

Hosts.

verse City—Seeking God Everywhere”. You won’t want to miss any of these intrigu-

ing lessons Mike has to offer which include his personal experiences during the

Space Shuttle Challenger tragedy.

Keith’s Kitchen is an op-

portunity to support our

work in Honduras. Each

Wednesday at 6:15PM

Keith prepares a deli-

cious meal. The teens help with the

dessert, drinks and clean-up. All

dents who help. There is no set fee

but your generous checks should be

made to Tampa Youth Missions.

Meals are suspended until after VBS.

They will resume on Wednesday,

August 8th.

Sewing Class…

Our Sew & Sews group is considering

having a class to teach some of our

young people how to sew. They need

to determine if there is enough inter-

est in this sort of class. Joy Coston has

posted a sign-up sheet for this pur-

pose so if you have any desire to

learn to sew, be sure to put your

name on the list. Depending on your

interest, plans will be formalized and

dates & times will be set up.

SonQuest…

SonQuest is the annual youth event

sponsored by the churches of Christ

which takes place every Labor Day

weekend in Orlando for upcoming

6th—12th graders. This high-quality,

spiritual event makes a positive im-

pact on the students, parents, and

chaperones who attend. It repre-

sents the perfect mix of heartfelt

worship, challenging Bible-based

messages, and good Christian fun.

The registering deadline is July 29

and must be done online at

posit is required. For questions
