JOIN US AT 6:00 PM TONIGHT FOR A SUNSET VESPERS and ice cream social at the Voth’s home! If you are able to contribute toppings, cookies, or homemade ice cream, we invite you to sign up at the table in our foyer. We hope you will join us for this summertime TSDAC tradition!

WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF A SERMON SERIES titled Jesus: Israel’s Teacher. As Christians, our marching orders come from Jesus of Nazareth. He is the interpreter of scripture, and our worldview should come from Him. Mentally and spiritually, He is the healthiest person in the Bible; therefore, He is the model for “spiritual” Israel. We hope you are enjoying this summer series.

OUR SHELTER MINISTRY IS COLLECTING DONATIONS for those living in the South Bay Shelter. Monetary donations will be put toward purchasing back to school clothes, undergarments, shoes, socks, and backpacks for 45 children currently in the shelter. The Ministry is also collecting donations of “business clothes” for women living in the shelter to wear to job interviews.

THE NEXT VOCAL ENSEMBLE REHEARSAL will be on Sabbath, September 7, immediately following the worship service. If you are interested in joining, please see Pastor Gary.

TEEN SABBATH WILL BEGIN AGAIN on Sabbath, September 7, at 11:00 am in the Youth Room. Each month (during the school year), this group for 12–17-year-olds meets to worship, potluck with one another, and enjoy activities that lead to lasting memories and friendships. Our September 7 worship service will be followed by a picnic and outdoor activities at UTC’s Noble Recreation Center Park.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS interested in helping at the breakfast bar on either the second or fifth Sabbath of each month. The 2nd Sabbath breakfast team is looking for a volunteer to contribute fruit each month. We currently do not have a consistent team for the occasional 5th Sabbath; however, if you would like to form a team of your own or contribute a single item or dish (no rotating commitment necessary), sign-ups are located at the table in our foyer.

FRIENDSHIPS FOR HOPE’S annual rummage sale is on September 1, 2, and 3, from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm (2701 E. 8th Street, National City). Friendships for Hope’s mission is to help local refugees become contributing members of our community.
