The Elder Board has called a special
meeting of the congregation for Sunday,
September 9, at 12:10pm. The purpose
of the meeting is to make a minor
revision of Bylaw #3, paragraph 1.
The need for the change has occurred
due to a conflict in schedule with our
World Outreach Conference.
The C&MA National Office makes the
schedule for missionary conferences for
churches on the Interdistrict Tour. We
are scheduled for November 4-11. Our
Congregational Meeting is scheduled for
November 11, as well.
By making this small revision to our
Bylaws, the Elders may then select an
appropriate date suitable to conduct the
business of the church without
interfering with the World Outreach
Conference (or other future events or
occurrences that make the date of the
Congregational Meeting unsuitable).
The revision would be the inclusion of
the following sentence in the first
paragraph of Bylaw #3:
“The Elder Board has the authority to
change the dates of the Congregational
Meeting when deemed in the best
interest of the congregation.”

Vacation Bible School Registration
It’s not too late to register your children for Vacation Bible School! VBS begins on
Monday, August 6, and runs through Friday, August 10, 9:00am to noon, for children
age 5 through grade 6. See page 8 for details.
The first paragraph of Bylaw #3 would
then read:
Annual Meetings. The Annual Meeting
for the election of officers and approval
of the following calendar year’s budget
shall convene in its regular place of
worship on the second Sunday evening
of November each year. The Elder Board
has the authority to change the dates of
the Congregational Meeting when
deemed in the best interest of the
congregation. Ballot counting shall be
performed by two (2) or three (3) ballot
counters who are not listed on the ballot
or are not immediate family members of
someone listed on the ballot. All
Counters shall each count all the
ballots. All tally sheets are to be signed
by the Counters and turned over to the
Governing Board Secretary along with all
ballots. The tally sheets and ballots are
to be kept on hand for a period of time
not less than six (6) months.
As you can tell by the time and date of
the Special Congregational Meeting, our
meeting will follow the 10:45am service.
We believe that the meeting will be brief
since there is only one item of business.

Sunday School - “A Place for Growing… A Place for YOU!” Our youth Sunday School class meets at 9:15am in rooms 225-235. Our children’s Sunday School classes
also begin at 9:15am. Check the bulletin board in the Children’s Ministry wing for room assignments.
Children (infant through grade 6) have a chance to encounter Jesus in a fun and interactive way. Group’s
“Hands On Bible” curriculum is used for our toddlers through grade 4. Children have the opportunity to get
their “hands on” and their minds around the life giving truth of the Bible, which helps them become fully
devoted followers of God. Our grade 5 and 6 children participate in Group’s “Grapple”, a challenging and
thought provoking program that helps them grapple with issues that face our pre-teens today.
Adult classes are offered at 9:15 and 10:45am. Be sure to note the time that the class you choose is
offered. It’s never too late to join a class. If you can’t be here every Sunday, that’s OK - come whenever you
can. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn something new and connect with people. Brochures are available at
the rack in the Narthex.
9:15am Proverbs - Teacher: John Cogan The book of Proverbs is a book of wisdom. This book was begun by King Solomon and completed by King
Hezekiah. It was written as a text book to teach young people to live according to godly wisdom. It begins
with the premise that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. It then develops themes having to do
with everyday life decisions based on godly wisdom. We will study some of the main themes in the book. It
will not be an exhaustive study, but we will see how to read the book to mine its riches and apply them to
our daily lives. Location: Rooms 230/240
9:15am “Guardrails” by Andy Stanley - Teacher: Joe Szurek Guardrails: a system designed to keep vehicles from straying into dangerous or off-limit areas. They are
everywhere, but they don't really get much attention… until somebody hits one. And then, more often than
not, it is a lifesaver. Ever wonder what it would be like to have guardrails in other areas of your life - areas
where culture baits you to the edge of disaster and then chastises you when you step across the line? Your
friendships. Your finances. Your marriage. Maybe your greatest regret could have been avoided if you had
established guardrails. Location: Conference Room 550
10:45 “Twisting the Truth” by Andy Stanley - Teachers: Dr. Bob Statler and Kevin Dail Our postmodern society is expert at distorting the truth. How can we learn to discern in a culture of
deception? In this five-session curriculum, Andy Stanley exposes four destructive lies about authority, pain,
sex and sin. His straightforward insights will help you exchange the falsehoods of our day for the life-
changing truths of Scripture.
Location: Conference Room 550
August Adult Classes Schedule
“We exist to teach God’s Word to all ages to provide the cornerstone
that will lead to salvation and a deeper, personal relationship with the Lord.”
The Sunday School fall quarter begins on Sunday, September 2. Brochures outlining the classes will be
available later this month in the Narthex brochure rack.

emergency purposes only. These forms will be used for all Children’s Ministry functions,
including Sunday and Wednesday activities.
Registration forms will be available at a table in the Narthex and at the Children’s
Ministry registration desk beginning Sunday, August 12. Completed forms need to be
returned as soon as possible in order to make security preparation for the fall Awana

Fall is fast approaching, and that means Bible Quizzing will soon be starting up again!
Quizzing is a fun, competitive way to learn God’s Word and meet new friends from area
churches. It is open to any student in grades 3 through 12.
This year we will be studying the Gospel of Matthew. Each month the quizzers will be
working on a few specific chapters. Beginning on September 2, our practices will be held
Sunday mornings from 8:30am to 10:00am (room to be announced later). Quiz matches
are held once a month, starting in October and are usually the first Saturday of the month.
We encourage any students interested in learning Scripture to join us. There are three
divisions of quizzing: Juniors (grades 3-6), Senior B for teens who are new to the program
and Senior A for more competitive teens.
Contact Jayne Obringer (724-861-3548) or Jen Conley (724-837-1122) if you are
interested in participating. You will be given a study book and we can answer any
questions you may have. Come join in the fun!
