x A Note from Gabriella Niestrath: “I would like to thank you all for being so supportive of my trip to Zambia. Your donations are what made this trip possible foe me. I would love for you to continue with me in my mission through my blog posts at http://lovelearnserve.wordpress.com/ Much love from Zambia!” If you would like to communicate with Gabriella while she is on her trip you can do that through facebook or email.

x A Note from Betty Rust: “ Several months ago Sean asked Karen Seesengood and I to serve the meals on Wednesday nights. We are pleased to do this but without the help of everyone it wouldn’t be possible. I just want to say thank you for your monetary donations, food, and prepa-­ration of food each week that make the meal possible. This past Wednesday, I was a “little” surprised to get here and see NO dessert! I just went with the flow and got out the ice cream! You all had planned a surprise birthday party for me that included a huge cake, cards, and gifts. Again, I say “THANK YOU” for sharing your love with me this in this way! I am blessed to be part of this family!”

Magi Project - We have some changes this year with Healing Hands International providing free boxes. Please do NOT wrap these boxes. The label for gender and age is printed on both ends of the boxes. Take either the flat pieces of cardboard or the assembled boxes and please fill them with good-ies. (Your own shoeboxes with labels on the end are still great, too.) There are information sheets on the table if you need suggestions for your box. Again this year, you may donate $7.00 per box to cover ship-ping and handling or you may let the yard sale cover these costs. Marvin needs 150 for his congregation and another 50 to go into the mountains as part of their outreach. We sent 165 boxes last year. I think we can complete 200 this year. Thanks in advance from me, from Marvin, and from at least 200 children who will be blessed by God through you. In Him, Elizabeth x “You are invited to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Jerri & Gail Barber on Saturday, August 30th at 2-4

pm at Berry’s Chapel Church of Christ” in Franklin Tennessee. See the invitation on the bulletin board.
