Lakeside Presbyterian
The most well-known and quoted bible verse on God’s plan for us is found in Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Reflections of the wisdom of earthly and heavenly Fathers is the topic of Lynn Hanson’s testimony on Sunday, August 1. She will talk about how her journey in life has been shaped by God’s plans and not hers and also refer to concrete examples of the wisdom her biological father shared with her.

“Spotlight Consciousness and Lantern Consciousness” is the topic that will be covered by Richard Clarke this Sunday.
Consciousness narrows as we age. As we know more we see less. This is the transition from lantern to spotlight consciousness. It does not have to be this way, though. We can learn “Beginner’s Mind” and bring a new, more open awareness to our everyday life.
Pam Cucinell will be service leader.

Abundant Life Church
The impact of love is unquestioned in the lives of those who have received it. Love causes us to stay the course in the difficult times. Love causes us to walk into the room of that special person knowing full well that they are sick. Love according to the Apostle Paul never fails. Sunday, August 1, we will learn the lesson that Jesus wants all of his disciples to know: Love identifies us as HIS. Even in a time where we all need to keep our ¨safe distance¨ there are plenty of ways to show love.
