Assignment for next time (Aug. 2):  1st section of ch. 3 of "Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God."  More books are ordered if you haven't received one yet.  Also, memorize Is 53:11, Acts 16:31, 1 John 1:9.

Kristi and Aaron will report on which churches responded to our letter and we will make a contact list for the Street Corner Ministry at the next meeting.  Plan on starting the ministry the first Friday night in September. 

Julie from Garden of Hope came to speak about opportunities to witness to women and families facing crisis pregnancies.  Times to volunteer to do sidewalk counseling or to pray are:
           --Eastern: Wednesday and Friday from 5-7:30PM (Men mandatory)
           --Fulton:  Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 7:30AM - 1PM
We talked about possibly splitting up and going to Eastern the same Friday nights we do Street Corner Ministry.  Contact Lindsay or Audra for the number to get in touch with Garden of Hope.

Lindsay, Dave and Mike reported on an outreach opportunity they are putting together.  Weekly VBS at a trailer park in Coopersville.  They suggested visiting Presidential Park with Cornerstone URC some Wednesday night to see how they're program works.  They also asked for help with canvassing in Coopersville sometime in August.  The plan is to begin holding VBS nights in September on Friday afternoons from 4-5.

Rev. Klompien invited Harvesters for Christ to attend a conference Sat., Sept. 22 from 10-1 at Dutton URC.  Rev. Phil Grotenhuis will be speaking on evangelism and conversion.

We will work on service project ideas at the next meeting.

And thanks Paul for memorizing Is. 53:1-4.
