PRAYER HYMN #641
“Fill
My Cup”
UNISON PRAYER OF CONFESSION AND WORDS OF PROMISE
Lord, Giver of Bread, you have shared the bread and
wine with all people. You are the
gracious host who attends to us all, welcoming and nourishing us. We confess that is hard to follow your
example; it is difficult to be both host and guest. We are grudging hosts who refuse to pour
ourselves out for the hungry. We calculate what the merriment will cost us and
we await our guest’s quick departure. We
take for granted our host’s preparations and fail to express our thanks. O God, forgive our sins against each
other. Forgive our sin again you, who
meets us at every turn as the compassionate host and the uninvited guest. Amen.

The School Supply Pantry is
an important mission for our church.
Each year school supplies are given to over 100 children. This year because of the generosity of the
Welcome Club our shelves were well stocked when we opened on August 6. Thirty-four back packs, 100 pencils, over 12
scientific calculators and a wide-variety of school supplies were given out the
first day. We will open again on August
13 and subsequent Wednesdays in the month of August. If you would like to donate some supplies,
please leave them at the Church Office or in the box in the narthex. At this time we need large back packs,
scientific calculators, pencil boxes, paperback dictionaries, primary writing
tablets, colored construction paper, pencils, small pencil sharpeners, erasers,
glue stick and folders. Any questions,
please call Barb Tatarchuk. Thanks!
Our annual Summer Hymn Sing
will be on Sunday, August 24 at 7:00 p.m with Dr. Glenn Verbrugge on the organ and
Dr. Saundra Blanchard playing the piano with Randy Myers leading lots of great
singing. A time of refreshment will
follow. You are invited to share a
dessert for our refreshment table. Plan
to attend and invite your friends, family and neighbors to join you.

Today’s Special Missions
Envelope is designated for the LeVeque School Security Wall Building
Project in Haiti. By contributing to the
building of the wall, our congregation will be helping all of the students by
preserving the school and the work that will be done to improve it. Parents of many of the children are now
hesitant to allow their children to attend schools without security walls. This project is a special missions endeavor
of the Boyne City United Methodist Church.
