Worship Today!

Full Tummy Project is a ministry of 7 Mile Post Road designed to address childhood hunger on a local level. This ministry serves children in Clements High School, Blue Springs Elementary, and Tanner High School. We believe that no child should ever go hungry. Yet many children who depend on school provided meals have little or no access to nutritious foods on weekends.

Full Tummy Project provides small bags of food on Fridays for children who have been identified by school administrators as at risk for hunger. The food in these weekend meal bags helps these children return to school on Monday ready to learn.

We appreciate Tom and Debbie Amerson for taking the time to deliver the bags each week.

Benefits of Weekend Meal Programs: • Increased school attendance • Improved academic performance • Decreased behavior problems • Better health and self-esteem • Decreased stress and worry • Better relationships with peers

How you can help? 1. Donate food items from our shopping guidelines (GET AT THE CONNECTION CENTER) 2. Make a monetary donation that can be used to purchase food. 3. Pack bags and bring them to the church to be distributed. Get a copy of the shopping guidelines at the Connection Center. 4. Volunteer to help Tom and Debbie deliver on weeks they are unavailable do it.

PLEASE SIGN UP TO HELP TODAY AT

THE CONNECTION CENTER!!

Cookout/Worship Full Tummy

This fall we will embark on a journey through the Bible together as an entire congregation. We will be participating in The Story. All sermons, Bible classes, and even some of our Life Groups will each week be studying the same section of the Bible.

EACH FAMILY WILL RECEIVE A COPY

OF “THE STORY” BIBLE TO USE IN

READING AT HOME WITH FAMILY.

The book called The Story is a best-selling abridged chronological Bible.

For people new to the Bible, this way of reading scripture reduces the intimidation one can feel when approaching the full-length unabridged Bible, and it gives them a holistic and sequential picture of the storyline of Scripture. For seasoned Bible veterans, the chronological arrangement of the essential texts reveals the way the whole Bible fits together in a single grand narrative.

Reading through The Story triggers interest and understanding, and drives people back to the original Bible texts for further exploration.

There will be a mandatory meeting on July 14 at 7PM for ALL teachers that will be participating in the Story. We will go over the material and talk about the format.

The Story

Coming to 7-Mile September 2015

TONIGHT!! We will enjoy a time

of fellowship, worship, and fun.

Will begin at 5:00 in the pavilion. We

will sing, share, and enjoy a cookout.

Missions Page Website

We now have our mission works uploaded to our website. Please go to http://www.7mpr.org/missions/ and read the amazing stories happening all over the planet.

Here is an excerpt from one of the newsletters: “…while we were fasting, a woman named Pattu was brought to us for prayer. She had been affected be demonic influences, and was suffering physically. We shared the Gospel with her and prayed for God to deliver her. As we prayed for her, an evil spirit left her and she was delivered. The name of God was exalted and Pattu came to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation. Praise the Lord!” –J. Rajaiah (Unreached Villages)

Sympathy We express our sympathy to Tom Amerson in the death of his sister Virginia Adkins. Her funeral was on Friday. Please pray for her family.
