17 Pray without ceasing.
18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
19 Quench not the Spirit.
20 Despise not prophesyings.
21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.

Last night's (Wednesday, August 30) monthly business meeting has items of new business (kinda strange for us). Here are three - all of which were unanimously approved:

1. Begin monthly missionary support for Rachel D. in India (begins September 1)
2. Send a one-time gift to assist Jeff & Kim Kruchkow with their print-shop remodel project in Mongolia.
3. Start the KITCHEN REMODEL PROJECT. This project includes new and additional upper & lower cabinets, countertops, hardware, and installation. There is a bit of plumbing and electrical too. The COMPLETION GOAL is January 2024. PROJECT GIVING GOAL is $15,000. Let's be diligent in our generous giving for this project as we also faithfully tithe and give.

WHAT ABOUT THE VAN?

December 2022 we placed our order for a new passenger van for the church, with the long-range arrival date of around August 2023 (this month). Checking with the fine folks at Performance Ford in Moab, our wait for this van continues into 2024. The Lord provided the funds for this van; let's trust Him to provide the van.

Some Stuff to Ponder...

▪ “It’s not our business to make the message acceptable, but to make it available. We are not to see that they like it, but that they get it.” – Vance Havner

▪ “God save us from living in comfort while sinners are sinking into hell.” – Charles Spurgeon
▪ “We are too busy to pray, and so we are too busy to have power. We have a great deal of activity, but we accomplish little. Many services, but few conversions; much machinery, but few results.” – R.A. Torrey
▪ “The Jesus that men want to see is not the Jesus they need to see.” – G. Campbell Morgan
▪ “Out of 100 men, one will read the Bible, the other 99 will read the Christian.” – D. L. Moody
▪ “We have a God who delights in impossibilities.” – Billy Sunday
▪ “The scriptures are given not to increase our knowledge, but to change our lives.” – Dwight L. Moody
