MEALS MINISTRY: Lori’s co-workers would like to
help her with meals for the next 2
chemo treatments; therefore we can
take a break to allow her co-workers
to be a blessing to her. In the meantime, we can concentrate on prayers
for a minimal surgery with a small amount of radiation. After the surgery,
more meals will be needed so look for the sign-up sheet in the kitchen for
the Meals Ministry supporting The Hodulik Family. Meals are only
needed on MON, WED, & FRI; delivered by 5:30pm. Their address is:
48103 Newport Bridge Pl., Indio; 760-775-4174.
SUMMER CAMP: Did you know that over TEN
MILLION kids go to camp every
summer? Whoa! Summer camp
has been a U.S. tradition for over
150 years. Back then, before air
conditioning was invented, hot
city summers were miserable
and even unhealthy for children,
so escaping to the country or the mountains for a few weeks became a
popular trend. Today, kids have different reasons for making Bible Sum-
mer Camp a part of their lives, such as: 1. Children learn independence; 2.
Children learn to make friends with kids they haven’t met before; 3. Chil-
dren learn to value community; 4. Children learn the importance of money
management; 5. Children learn they are loved beyond their family circle;
6. Children learn that worship can be fun; 7. Children learn new skills; 8.
It’s good, clean (though often dirty) fun; 9. Lives are changed. This year,
the PDCOC youth were all encouraged to go to summer camp. Our lead-
ership instituted the “No Kid Left Behind” motto and through your special
contributions every kid should be able to go to our Church of Christ spon-
sored summer camps. THANK YOU!
FOOD PANTRY:
The next PDCOC Food
Pantry will be THURSDAY,
July 14th. All volunteers
are asked to RSVP to your
text or email notifications.

This is Independence Day Weekend. We are in Coos Bay, Oregon today and will
be in Eureka, CA on Monday as we wind our way back home. As I ponder our Independ-
ence Day I keep thinking back to the last paragraph of the Declaration of Independence
which concludes with these words: “And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm
reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our
Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”
As each placed their name on the document they understood that they were com-
mitting treason. Benjamin Franklin is reported to say as he signed, “We must all hang
together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.” Five were captured by the British,
were tortured and died as traitors. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two
lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army while another had two sons captured.
Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships from the War. Thomas Nelson,
Jr. urged General George Washington to open fire on his home when it was discovered
that the British General Cornwallis headquartered there. His home was destroyed and
Thomas Nelson, Jr. died bankrupt. John Hart lived in forests and caves for more than a
year after being forced from the bedside of his dying wife and 13 children. When he fi-
nally was able to return home his wife was dead and he couldn’t find his children. John
Hart died a few weeks later.
Why would they do this? They were not in the majority by far. Most people at
the time wanted to just keep things the way they were. War is so drastic. They must have
believed that their cause was just and right. They believed strongly “on the protection of
divine Providence.” Even so, many lost their lives and their fortunes. Yet they main-
tained their “sacred honor”. Their pledge to each other was sacred, and could not, would
not, be violated. They were men of their word! They made a pledge to each other before
God and upon keeping it hung their entire honor. They could lose home, farm, business,
family and even their own lives, but they would not break their pledge.
When we are true to our word we will find true independence. Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No.' – Matthew 5:37 (Berean Study Bible)
Just Pondering
Paul’s Ponders
Cuánto tienes, cuánto vales vivimos en un tiempo en donde parece ser que las bue-
nas costumbres salen sobrando, ya que el dinero lo arregla todo o casi todo. A quien
le importa la frase hoy tengo tiempo para ti, si no tenemos tiempo ni para nosotros
mismos, a quien le importa escuchar; habla tengo dos oídos para ti si tu arrogancia
no te deja ver más allá de lo que tus ojos pueden ver y como me vas a ayudar si
mira como estás. Cuánto tienes, cuánto vales te miran dé arriba a abajo se ríen de ti,
con desagrado mueven la cabeza obvio un mendigo siempre huele mal te sientes
ofendido quieres contestar el agravio, pero una voz de lo alto te dice no digas nada
tan solo sonríe, que una sonrisa no te cuesta nada ni te dejara más pobre de lo que
cree la gente que ya eres. Todos los días, un hombre que nunca había podido cami-
nar era llevado a una de las entradas del templo, conocida como Portón Hermoso.
Ese hombre pedía limosna a la gente que entraba en el templo. Tan pronto como ese
hombre vio a Pedro y a Juan, les pidió dinero. Ellos lo miraron fijamente, y Pedro
le dijo: «Préstanos atención.» Hechos 3:5-6 5 Aquel hombre los miró atentamente, pensando que iban a darle algo. 6 Sin em-
bargo, Pedro le dijo: «No tengo oro ni plata, pero te voy a dar lo que sí tengo: En
el nombre de Jesucristo de Nazaret, te ordeno que te levantes y camines.» cuánto
tienes, cuánto vales no tengo oro ni plata más lo que tengo te lo doy.
Yo soy tu hermano Gilberto.........
