Blessing of the Backpacks Sunday, August 8 (all worship services) SOS! School Opens Soon! In the Huber Heights School system, school starts August 11, and other schools in the area will begin soon. On Sunday, August 8, we will bless the backpacks – and everyone else connected with the mission and ministries of education. We invite children to bring their backpacks for our prayers of blessing during the worship services at both campuses. May God bless our schools in the coming year! MEADOW VIEW GIFT CARDS STILL AVAILABLE! A BIG thank you for purchasing the gift cards!  We have sold 75 plus cards and have used the church portion of the money to purchase zinnia's and impatiens for around the church right now with the remainder going towards landscaping later this fall. The gift cards will be available throughout the summer and fall by calling one of the "Garden Angels" Liz Frye, Sandy Voight or Sharon Pack and we will get one to you. REMEMBER, it is a great gift idea to give to someone. Where else can you find a better $20.00 gift. CROWN BOOKS AVAILABLE We have five extra books from the Crown Financial seminar titled "Journey to True Financial Freedom" that are on sale for a reduced value of $10.  Anyone interested in purchasing one can contact Dave Hunt at dhunt@cbccts.org. This book will instruct you on making financial decisions according to God's principles. It will tell you what the Bible says about money and provide steps to help you become debt free.
