We were happy to have Faye Lee back in class this morning and her son is doing well after surgery. Pat is also doing well. Keep Irlene in prayer as she has an angiogram tomorrow. Our monthly dinner will be August 29 at 6:00 at Johnnies on the NW Highway.

Rev. Phil Greenwald led our class on Sunday studying Philippians. He encouraged everyone to read the complete book this week. Paul writes to the Philippians from prison about dealing with hardships with a spirit of joy. We talked about joy from the preached word, joy from fellowship, joy in spite of suffering, joy from loved ones, joy from hospitality, and joy from gifts (received and given). Phil read several passages from Philippians 1 which remind us of all our chances to impact those around us with joy.

Next week we’ll look at Philippians 3:14 and 4:13. Phil closed our class time with prayer.
