VBS THANK YOU We want to thank all the people and teachers who gave their time to help us have a good time at Lordstown Vacation Bible School. The crafts, games, stories and treats were the best. Captive Free taught us so many songs about Jesus. We had a great time and made many new friends. See you next summer. J’siah Bush and Desiree Eutsey (these children are members of Emmanuel)

An informational meeting will be held in Mid July. Please e-mail Rick Hill at portagessummitevents@gmail.com if you are interested.
Costs are discounted for qualifying Thrivent Financial members. This is a joint venture of Thrivent Buildsworldwide and Habitat for Humanity, Gulf Coast Community. More information may be found on our web site: www.summitportagechapter.com and www.thriventbuilds.com
(Just a side note to the above, even though it has been 6 years since Hurricanes Katrina and Ivan, and this community has seen much progress. They have a very long way to go. Many of you know that our daughter was in this area during both storms and Ed and I were in Gulfport/Biloxi within days of Katrina. Last August we went to the area again to visit friends. They were hit by both storms within months of each other and recovery is very slow but steady. Please help where you can.)
PRAYERS FOR THE PERSECUTED
CHURCH AUGUST—IRAQ
Iraq's Christian minority have experienced much violence. Bomb blasts regularly damaged churches and Christians continued to receive death threats, some clearly intended to expel all Christians from areas of Baghdad and Mosul. Christians have been kidnapped and murdered for their faith. The violence has forced tens of thousands of Christians out of their homes, some out of the country.
