Echoes
James 1:19-27
19-21 Post this at all the intersections, dear friends: Lead with your ears, follow up with your tongue, and let anger straggle along in the rear. God’s righteousness doesn’t grow from human anger. So throw all spoiled virtue and cancerous evil in the garbage. In simple humility, let our gardener, God, landscape you with the Word, making a salvation-garden of your life. 22-24 Don’t fool yourself into thinking that you are a listener when you are anything but, letting the Word go in one ear and out the other. Act on what you hear! Those who hear and don’t act are like those who glance in the mirror, walk away, and two minutes later have no idea who they are, what they look like. 25 But whoever catches a glimpse of the revealed counsel of God—the free life!—even out of the corner of his eye, and sticks with it, is no distracted scatterbrain but a man or woman of action. That person will find delight and affirmation in the action. 26-27 Anyone who sets himself up as “religious” by talking a good game is self-deceived. This kind of religion is hot air and only hot air. Real religion, the kind that passes muster before God the Father, is this: Reach out to the homeless and loveless in their plight, and guard against corruption from the godless world.

Calling all Singers!
Choir Kickoff will be on August 19th at 7pm in the Sanctuary - we will have food and drinks and then do some singing together.
If you are interested, but you don’t read sheet music, you are still welcome to join! If you are interested, but you cannot make Wednesday night rehearsals, please reach out to me (tara@gototapestry.org) I have a few ways we can work around this, and I want to make sure everyone who wants to participate has a chance to do so.
I cannot wait to kick off the season with you on August 19th! Mark your calendars, and reach out to me if you have any questions.
Warmly,
Tara Bradley

Volunteers Opportunity
Thursday, August 6th
Interchurch Food Pantry of Johnson County, 211 Commerce Drive, Franklin
Come volunteer with us from 10:45-3:00 (or part of that time) We will be filling food requests or repackaging bulk items. This will be an opportunity every first Thursday of the month. Questions, contact Paula Peterson (pmrpeterson@comcast.net)
Doors at The Common Place
A gentle reminder for everyone who uses our shared space: please take a moment to ensure doors are fully closed and locked behind you. Sometimes a latch doesn’t catch, and a quick check helps keep our building secure for all who learn, worship, and gather here. Thank you for helping us care for this place together.
One small exception: the sanctuary doors should remain open during the week. Keeping air moving prevents mustiness during humid seasons and helps maintain the tuning and health of our worship instruments.
July Outreach
For the month of July we will be collecting items for Unconditional.
They have reached out for some specific needs this month.
First of all, their numbers have increased for food assistance. They find their food pantry often empty! Any food or personal hygiene items are appreciated.
Secondly, their July care packages include:
First-aid kits
Baby wipes
Deodorant
Hair ties
Bobby pins
Individual snacks
Encouragement and inspiration cards
Hand fans
Drink mix packets
Place any items in the totes by the entry doors to church. Monetary donations can also be made.
