Thank you for feasting with us today!

Welcome to Valley Brook

Thank you for worshiping with us today. We are very glad you chose

to spend your Sunday morning with our Valley Brook family. For

your convenience, our ushers are standing by to meet any needs you

may have during the worship service.

Welcome Home!

Today’s Scripture:

Psalm 98

Sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm have

worked salvation for him. 2The LORD has made his salvation known and revealed his righteousness to

the nations.3He has remembered his love and his faithfulness to the house of Israel; all the ends of the

earth have seen the salvation of our God. 4Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth, burst into jubilant

song with music;5make music to the LORD with the harp, with the harp and the sound of singing,6with

trumpets and the blast of the ram's horn-- shout for joy before the LORD, the King. 7Let the sea re-

sound, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it. 8Let the rivers clap their hands, let the

mountains sing together for joy; 9let them sing before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth. He

will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples with equity.

Outreach Missionary Efforts

As the Covid-19 carries on, our committee is more determined than ever to make sure VBCC keeps up our bi-monthly distribution of supplies -- 100 blessing bags, water, face masks -- to Our Daily Bread in Baltimore. Our next distribution is Saturday, August 8.

Although personal distribution of the blessing bags is still not possible, there are opportunities to contribute to the needs of folks that are really hurting! Here's how you can support our second summer outreach:

1. Pray for the success of our mission and for the growing disadvantaged population in Baltimore. 2. Financial -- any amount will help to supply the needs of these folks! Remember that the giving section of the VBCC website includes an option for contributing directly to the church's Community Outreach. 3. Notes -- Write a simple, short, encouraging note or prayer on a 3x5 or 4x6 index card (or note paper) that we can include in a blessing bag (see samples at the end of this message). If you are willing to write 2 or 3, we'd soon have enough to put one in every bag. Please mail by Tuesday, August 4 to Jeanne Perin, 8845 Warm Granite Drive, Columbia MD, 21045-5946.

We have a driver lined up for August -- but if anyone might be interested in being a back-up or driving in Octo-

ber, let Michael know. Paul, Theresa and Mia St. Hillaire drove in June and reported that everything went very smoothly -- they didn't even need to get out of their car! A big thank you for however you're led to contribute -- this wouldn't be possible without your commitment to VBCC at this time!

Prayer Requests and Praise Reports

Please pray for those who are quarantined alone, who may be experiencing anxie-

Lord reveals to them that He is still with them through it all.

The Lord provides us special moments. They often arrive at unex-

pected times and with unexpected gifts. A simple conversation blos-

soms into rich, long-lingering fellowship. A time of private prayer and

meditation turns into a wellspring of joy. A moment of laughter, so hard that it doubles you over or leaves

you gasping for air. A gratifying sense of inner satisfaction for “getting it done.” Moments of joy. Moments of

peace. Moments of pleasure. Moments of beauty. These are all blessings from God, for “every good and per-

fect gift comes from above" (James 1:17).

And they never last. The most stunning sunset eventually fades to black.

But far from a reason to despair, let us go forward into future moments rejoicing, because we have something

far greater than the memories of moments past. We have the moment Maker living within us, the One who

does wondrous things in any place, at any time with anything and anyone.

“Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.

Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.”

Psalm 103:1-2 (NIV)

As a church family, we are committed to pray and trust the Lord for three specific areas in our ministry.

That God would use our challenges to draw each of us closer to Him.

That God would use our challenges to deepen our love for each other and unity with each other.

That God would use our challenges to release the gifts and resources of our church community to

the extent necessary to meet our needs.
