TUESDAY NIGHT WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY is beginning a study on “King David, Trusting God for a Lifetime”.  In an age of pressure and change, we want to be successful and secure.  Yet we also long to become people, like the biblical character David, “after God’s own heart”.  Although David was a mighty king and victor in battle, his true success came in growing closer to God.  Our group meets in the church library at 7:00 PM every Tuesday.  Call Sandy Shaulis (330) 562-5683 with any questions.

Paper Recycling – On August 4^th, a paper recycling bin was placed at the southwest corner of the parking lot (directly opposite the trash dumpster).  The Church Board has agreed to participate in a fundraising program that will allow the church to benefit from our recycling efforts.  The program is called Paper Retriever and we will receive funds from every ton of paper collected.  The bins accept all paper (office, newspaper, magazines, catalogs & junk mail).  No cardboard, phone book or food containers are accepted here!  Shredded paper needs to be contained (in bag).  There will be more detailed information around the church in the coming weeks.  If you have any questions in the meanwhile feel free to contact any of the Trustees.  Bring your paper with you to church on Sunday morning – clean out your house and help us raise more funds!

Mobile Meals Needs Drivers – The Mobile Meals program is in need of drivers to deliver meals to the elderly and shut-ins.  This would be for the Aurora route only and requires only an hour or two.  They have a real need on Fridays.  If you could help, please contact Mobile Meals at 330-376-7717 or 1-800-852-6325.
