Dear Church Family, I came across an article entitled “Dumb Things Smart People Said.” A few of them are pretty fascinating. "I think there is a world market for maybe five comput-ers." -- Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM, 1943.
"I'm just glad it'll be Clark Gable who's falling on his face and not Gary Cooper." -- Gary Cooper on his decision not to take the leading role in "Gone With the Wind." "Radio has no future. Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible. X-rays will prove to be a hoax." -- William Thomson, Lord Kelvin, British scien-tist, 1899. "So we went to Atari and said, 'Hey, we've got this amazing thing, even built with some of your parts, and what do you think about funding us? Or we'll give it to you. We just want to do it. Pay our salary, we'll come work for you.' And they said, 'No.' So then we went to Hewlett-Packard, and they said, 'Hey, we don't need you. You haven't got through college yet.'" -- Apple Com-puter Inc. founder Steve Jobs on attempts to get Atari and HP interested in his and Steve Wozniak's personal computer. “With over 50 foreign cars already on sale here, the Japanese auto industry isn't likely to carve out a big slice of the U.S. market." -- Business Week, Au-gust 2, 1968. "While those ideas sound crazy and insane to us now, they sounded rational and logical to the people who said them at the time. Now, take a minute and carefully read the next three quotes. "Drill for oil? You mean drill into the ground to try and find oil? You're crazy." -- Workers whom Edwin L. Drake tried to enlist to his project to drill for oil in 1859. "The Americans have need of the telephone, but we do not. We have plen-ty of messenger boys." -- Sir William Preece, chief engineer of the British Post Office, 1876. “There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home." -- Ken Olson, president, chairman and founder of Digital Equipment Corp., 1977.
As I read these quotes I will admit that the first thought that went through my head was man, how wrong these people were. The second thought that immediately went through my head is how many of us have made statements about things we can’t do, things that aren’t feasible for Mt. Elon Baptist Church to attempt, or things that just seem utterly ridiculous. Now, think about why you believe that God can’t use you or His Church. Maybe you just physically can’t see it happening. Who knows, maybe one day you will look back at a statement you are making right now and it may seem as ridiculous as the statements above.
“When the trumpets sounded, the army shouted, and at the sound of the trumpet, when the men gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed; so everyone charged straight in, and they took the city.” Joshua 6:20 Joshua 24:15,

August 16 at 6:30pm Family Night Supper serves as a wonderful way to develop deeper relationships within the church family and grow as disciples as we learn to love and care for one another.
Bring a dish to share and join us!
A new school year promises new adventures, challenges, and friends — as well as new classes, home-work and lessons. But the most important (and simplest) lesson we can learn is summed up by 19th century hymn write Jane Eliza Leeson: Savior, teach me day by day Love’s sweet lesson to obey, Sweeter lesson cannot be, Loving him who first loved me
This humorous illustration of how not to get along at college also demonstrates Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 7:3-5. A young man from Scotland went to study at an English university. A month into the school year, his mother visited and asked how he liked living in the dorm. “It’s awful!” he exclaimed. “The fellow in the room next door
bangs his head on the wall constantly, and the one on the other side screams all day.” “How do you stand it?” his mother asked in amazement. “Oh, I ignore them,” her son replied. “I just sit here quietly playing my bagpipes.”

How often we keep the good news of God’s grace and sal-vation to ourselves! Yet it’s intended for everyone, and there’s plenty to go around. In fact, it never ends. Who in your life needs to hear that
news today?
Dear Parents and Students, We are all still hyped from Mfuge camp this summer but we need to figure out what to do with this spiritual energy and how to best use our current fire! So in August we will be starting the "Now What?" Series. We will examine the lives of the disciples after Jesus ascended into heaven. We will learn about the "Now What" of the disciples during a time of unknown among them. Our youth event for August will be a movie and game night at the church on August 17th. This will run from 6pm to midnight and celebrate the summer before the school year begins. We will have music, games, food and some devotion. We'll call it "Celebrate Summer". With Love, Spencer and Dorothy Selmon Romans 1:12

Answer: C (See Genesis 30:19-21.)
Jacob had two wives, two concubines (his wives’ maids), 12 sons and one
daughter. Who gave birth to the daughter, Dinah?
A. Zilpah C. Leah B. Bilhah D. Rachel The amazing journey of the
shoebox begins with you and often results in evangelism, dis-cipleship and multiplication. Pastors around the world host shoebox distributions in places where people may not know Christ and invite them to follow Him. Boys and girls come to know Christ and share with friends and family. This often brings parents, siblings, and friends to accept Christ and become active members in the local church. Families are reached, churches grow, new churches are started, and com-munities are transformed.Thank you for giving!
The YOUTH EVENT for August will be a movie and game night at the church.
Let’s celebrate the summer before the school year gets
going. There will be lots of music, games and food as
well as a time of devotion. Bring your friends as we
hang out and enjoy the last of the summer break. August 17th
