A Note from Pastor Phillips: Thank you for coming to worship with us today. If you are first-time visitor, I would sure like the opportunity to meet you and welcome you personally. Because I believe in a Sovereign God, I don t believe anything happens by chance. I believe you were brought here today for a purpose. I would love to help you discover that purpose, and to see if there is any way we as a church can bless and minister to you and your family. Please stop by the Resource Center after the service so I can shake your hand. I d sure count it a privilege.

In May, we had donations of $2,665, which was matched by someone, bringing our May total to $5,330! In June, we had donations in the amount of $1,175. This past week, we had donations of $450. The total raised in this year s campaign is $6955, just shy of three complete battalions! What a blessing! Below are some testimonies of the impact of your gifts on our military: I ve been passing these Bible Sticks on to Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and a few Marines since 2012. I think the count is likely into the thousands by now thanks to the generosity of the faithful. These audio Bibles are always a big hit especially in places where a phone has no connection. I m surprised at the amount of people who don t utilize the audible Word because it s such an excellent way to convey the truth. This player is often the first introduction to many military members of the terrific resource of hearing the Word of God. Chaplain, 385th Transportation Battalion, Port of Tacoma Outstanding service! I enjoyed learning the Word. 04 US Army SAVED MY LIFE. E-9 Marines FAIR HELP NEEDED Many Volunteers are needed to help with the PVBC booth at the Cecil County Fair (Friday, July 20 through Saturday, July 28).
