It is time again for “Back to School” for Tank School. In the Narthex,

you will find a table and information sheets that identify requested school supplies. In addition to what is listed on the sheets, they need lip gloss, socks, extra tissues and underwear; anything to help the children begin a new school year. We will be collecting until the end of August. From August 1 through August 5, 2018, Wisconsin will not charge sales tax on back-to-school supplies, articles of clothing priced under $75, and certain computer equipment. For more information go to https://www.revenue.wi.gov/Pages/IndividualsSalesTaxHoliday.aspx

Vacation Bible School is scheduled for August 7-9 from

5:30-8:00 p.m. with the theme “The Armor of God”. We will be focusing on local heroes with games, crafts, music and fun. Kids will learn about how God's armor protects them, makes them strong, and helps them spread the good news. If you are interested in helping out, please let the Director of Children, Youth and Family Ministries know or there is a signup sheet on the bulletin board in the hallway. Registration is available on our website.

On August 12, the Deacons are sponsoring a brat, hot dog and

hamburger fry at Festival Foods on the east side next to Menards from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The proceeds will benefit Feed My Starving Children and First Presbyterian Pantry. If you are able to help serve, there is a sign up sheet on the bulletin board in the hallway.

Story Hour is coming in August! This year Story Hour will be held

on Mondays, August 13, August 20 and August 27, from 10:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m. Each Monday we will have a story, a snack, a craft and time for children to read on their own. Volunteers are needed for each Monday to pick a book and read it to the children, provide a simple snack, and choose and lead a simple craft. There is a sign up sheet distinguished by a butterfly on the bulletin board. Questions? Contact Nancy Siewert 609-2051 or dennis1829@att.net. There is no age limit to enjoy a good story!

Once again this summer, area churches are hosting a summer organ

concert. The concerts start at 6:30 p.m. A free-will offering will be taken at each recital to benefit food pantries associated with each of the churches.

God calls us to quiet and rest, even as we continue to minister to those in need. Let us worship God. *PRAYER OF THE DAY…………………………………..Shirley Schoffelman Gracious God, give us rest.

CALL TO CONFESSION……………………………………Shirley Schoffelman PRAYER OF CONFESSION (unison) ………….………...Shirley Schoffelman Eternal God, your steadfast love endures forever.

If we consider your creation, it is to ponder what benefits us. We have failed to show your love or to do justice in obedience to you. We have no right to be called your children.

Guest French Horn Soloist Andrew Parks

PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION………………………………Shirley Schoffelman PSALM 89: A RESPONSORIAL SETTING Refrain Verses 20-26 Refrain Verses 27-34 Refrain Verses 35-37 Refrain OLD TESTAMENT……………………………………...2 Samuel 7:1-14a (pg. 281) EPISTLE…………….Ephesians 2:11-22 (responsive) The New King James Version Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh - who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands- that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been made near by the blood of Christ. For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father. Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

This is the Word of the Lord.
