- Next Sunday, August 3rd, is our Lord's Supper service at 10:30 am, which is followed by our church's monthly prayer meeting at 1:30 pm. Please plan now to join us!

- Next Sunday, August 3rd, we are also changing our Sunday School hour. We will be meeting together as families here in the sanctuary to watch and discuss an inspirational video series on missions called Missionary: Obeying the Great Commission. We want our children, youth, and adults to all grow together in praying for and sending out missionaries. So please plan on coming to the opening session and then join us here in the sanctuary for this new class.

- Saturday, August 23rd, is our fall church workday. We want to be good stewards of the facilities and property which the Lord has given to us and encourage everyone to plan on helping out. If you know of any building needs or special projects that we need to work on, please let Deacon Adam Jochim or Pastor John Divito know.

- Our Fall Bible Conference is exactly 2 months away! On Saturday, September 27th, Reformed Baptist theologian and Bible teacher Dr. Jim Renihan will be joining us for a one-day conference on A Deep Dive into Baptism. Registration is now open online, and we encourage everyone to sign up as soon as possible! Since the sessions will not be live-streamed or recorded, don't miss this rare opportunity to grow in your understanding of Scripture with a faithful and godly speaker. You should have been handed a flyer with registration information and a QR code and web link, so please register online soon!

- By God's grace, our church has been blessed to recently welcome 12 new members into our family! To help you get to know them better, we are asking one or two of them to come up each Sunday and briefly share their testimony with you. Today is: Joyce Mitchell. Will you come up? [Ron prays for Joyce after he shares]

- Finally, for those who weren't at our potluck fellowship meal last Sunday, Jacob and Emily Feldmeier announced that she's pregnant with their fourth child! Let's celebrate with them and show them our love and support through her pregnancy.

 - Today's sermon continues Jesus' High Priestly Prayer from John 17. Our bulletin is available on our web site, mvbaptist.church/bulletin. On our web site, you can submit prayer requests and give. You may worship through giving by placing your offering in the plates between the double doors just after worship.
