Does God Need A Little Help From His Friends? Do you worship the One True God or a god of your own making? Today’s message will challenge believers to re-examine their fashioned image of God. By observation of what we evangelicals express concerning Him these days, it would appear that God might need a makeover or do-over, getting a little help from His friends! It has been said, The Scripture teaches that God made us in His image and now we want to return the favor by remaking Him in our image!” There is no doubt that God is bigger than the understanding of any man! He is the God of the Universe – He is I AM!

End of Summer Bible Study for Youth Announcing an end of summer Bible Study for Junior and Senior High students! On Sunday nights, beginning tonight, August 13, we will have a teaching session in the South Butler School District. Many of our students are out that direction and showing interest in digging into the Word. If you are free on Sunday nights, join us at 7:00, in the Casey’s garage, 760 Bear Creek Rd, Cabot PA 16023. This will be about a 6 week study to see how things go. Hope to see you there. Wednesday Night Youth Group with Mrs. Andrea Cranmer will get back into the swing of things once school begins! Her loving heart and gracious attitude have ministered to many over the years. I want to encourage you to continue to be a part of what she is doing and make the most of both of these opportunities. ~Pastor Jake
