I TRIPPED OVER A PUN!

Last week, in an effort to be humorous, I tripped over a pun. I said “I tripped over the bathroom tile Monday. I am fine, but it is safe to say “I got floored!” I did not really trip; I was just putting together all my favorite “tile” puns since the workers were tiling the bathrooms. I thought someone would say “I saw what you pun there…it was a bit pun-derwhelming! “

FUN AND SUPPORTING MISSIONS: Best of both worlds when you can have fun and raise prayer and financial support for missions. JIBC and Steven and Kat Cumberledge are sponsoring a Bibles and Brushes Art event on Saturday, August 22, 10 AM until Noon. Limited to 30 people and Janie and I have already signed up! Now, room for 28. Fun, inspirational, fellowship…and take home your own masterpiece! Call the church office to make your reservation: 843-762-0244.

OVER 100 BOOKBAGS FILLED WITH SCHOOL SUPPLIES: Thank you all for your generous gift of time, love and finances to put together over 100 Bookbags! These will so help the underserved and those on tight budgets. Imagine having three children and each need $50.00 worth of school supplies. What a gift of love from you all. We will have enough left over to donate to another area elementary school. The teachers supply closets will begin the year well stocked!

JUST A REMINDER about Beach Baptism. We have 7 signed up so far. We will meet at the James Island County Park, look for the crowd and the church flags! We will start gathering around 6 PM and plan to baptize around 6:45 PM.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST
, we will have a Quarterly Ministry Conference/Ministry Management Team gathering on Wednesday, August 26. A free meal will be provided but we do ask that you make a reservation. Please call the church office at 843-762-0244 or email neale@jamesislandbaptist.com. Meal served at 6 PM and the meeting starts at 6:30 PM.

See you Sunday, good Lord willing! DV
