SHARE PROGRAM
No Shares will be sold for June delivery.
June 24th will be the sign up day for the July Shares.
Jesus fed the multitude by starting with a very small amount
of food.  As you think about sharing remember, no gift is
to little to share because God multiplies our gifts both
large and small and He does work miracles.
There is a great need in our local area for the following
items: shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste and brushes,
sanitary supplies, and laundry, dish and regular soap.
If you can share any of these items to fill the
local need, they would be greatly appreciated.
If you wish to share any of these items, please leave
them at the church and we will pass them on to the
appropriate agencies.  SHARE is a nonprofit community
building organization offering a nutritious food package
($25-$35 value) to everyone for $15.00 plus two hours of
volunteer service in your community and an additional
$1.00 for transportation costs from Oskaloosa to Red Oak.
The package contains frozen meats, fresh fruits and
vegetables and  staple items.  It is designed to
supplement a family's food budget.
The SHARE program works by pooling money
together to purchase food at wholesale prices and
pass the savings on to participates. To sign up
for SHARE, you may do so during office hours.
The Host Site for Red Oak is the Fire Station.
For more information about this program, give us a call.

CANCELLATIONS, POSTPONEMENTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

Join the vision as we "JOURNEY INTO THE FUTURE"
seeking to grow and to look Inward, Outward and Upward.
INWARD spiritually as individuals and as a congregation
through prayer, Bible Reading, self evaluation and fellowship
and to give, by Christ's example, expecting nothing in return.
OUTWARD by taking the Gospel of Jesus Christ to
all the world using our talents to officer the teachings of
Jesus beyond our Church walls and to be a daily
living example of those teachings as individuals and
as a congregation.
UPWARD to God and give praise to God in our preaching,
in our singing, in our laughing, in our joys and in our trials
and at all times lift everything to God in prayer.
