THIS WEEK
Here are the highlights of classes and events THIS week
18-26 - Young adults meet weekly during the summer - tonight at 7pm. In addition, there is also a study this summer at the Zieg home discussing The War on Children by MacArthur (along with some hanging out time!).
Safety - The first safety training session is tonight at 7pm. Attending one is required for all who work with children or youth at SSB.
Car Show - Friday from 4:30 to 7pm is a car show for all.... bring that cool muscle car, the fast hot-rod, or even the old pickup truck that turns eyes. This is an opportunity to invite those not connected to SSB... may this lead to connections that open doors to speak of Jesus. Ice cream treats will be served.
Member Meeting - A lunch and business meeting on June 30th at 11:45 am to hear from Jaime followed by a possible vote to fund him as an SSB evangelist.

the Lord's day
We celebrated a 70th anniversary - congratulations Roger and Shirley for saying "I do" in 1954, still saying "I do" in 2024. Before they Lord, they will say "I did." Their faithfulness in marriage is an example for us all - and a great picture of Christ's faithfulness to the church.
We brought Mike Nylin in as an elder emeritus. SSB has three men now who serve in this way (Ron Miller, Roger Schutte, and Mike Nylin). These men can assist the elected elders with prayer, Bible reading, counsel and adding their wisdom as needed. We value these men and are thankful for their service to us over the years.
The message from 1st John 5 about praying for the church considered the church as God's flock. Thus we thought of Jesus as our Great Shepherd (Psalm 23, John 10). God's will for the church (consider several pictures of the church given in the New Testament) is that Christ is the head, the flock is unified, we obey (or are disciplined), we carry out Christ's mission, and we are cared for by God. Thus, we pray... pray that we follow, pray for unity, pray against temptation, pray for opportunities to be salt and light, and pray for open eyes to see needs of other members.
