To promote the fellowship of the ladies in the church we'll be hosting a ladies night out. The agenda is simple: fellowship and food! This is a fantastic way to get to know the other ladies in your church. It is also a great place to invite an unchurched friend who may be hesitant to come to a Sunday service.
RSVP: Kim Garroutte 462-4501 kgarroutte@yahoo.com
Or a signup sheet will be available by the TV in the foyer.
Details: Each lady is responsible for the purchase of their own meal, we will be ordering off the regular menu, if you choose to eat lighter and have just an appetizer/salad or skip dinner and you can just do dessert if you like. Unfortunately this restaurant does not break up the ticket for large parties, so please bring small bills.
Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching Heb 10:25
Lake Days has finally been set. It will not be at Pomo B this year as the lake area is unavailable. We will have only 2 lake day BBQs this year. They will both be held at the Low Gap Park, across from Ukiah high school. People will have to park around the tennis court area and walk to it. It is the large picnic covered area to the right as you walk in past the dog runs, etc. You can't miss it. The theme will be "The Flavor of Mexico", bring your favorite Hispanic dish We will have lots of good food and fun and games for all.
If someone is handicapped and unable to walk in, tell Shane Garrouette ahead of time & he will have a key to the gate and let them in only to be dropped off. Lake Days will be Sunday, August 15th from 4:00 to approx. 6:30.

Victory Outreach
For those who are hopelessly addicted there is hope. Victory Outreach has over 350 live-in homes where addicts are delivered from a life of substance abuse. There are as many as 10,000 addicts in our drug programs at any one time. And the numbers are growing. Why? We believe that to be effective we have to get to the heart of the problem. To overcome a physical addiction a person must discover mental and spiritual freedom. Our program includes as intensive rebuilding of what was often destroyed from earliest childhood. Our residential in-patient treatment facility is free of charge to the general public for those who cannot afford the high costs of drug and alcohol recovery.
Once in the home, the addict begins as intensive one year program that restores the whole person. We don"t replace drugs with synthetic prescriptions. It may be tough love to go cold turkey, but through our intensive support thousands have kicked their habit. Our program continues with a rigorous daily discipline of personal study, preparing meals, group discussions and even community service. The people who run the programs know it's not an easy road, because many of them are ex-addicts themselves. Yet through their tough-love, compassion and support, we've seen tremendous results. Last year alone over 25,000 addicts went through our program. Over 70% kicked drugs permanently.
The Victory Outreach Christian Recovery Home is a ministry of the local church. The home provides a residential Christian environment for men and women. The purpose of the Home is to reclaim, redeem and restore lives that have been destroyed or disrupted by drugs, alcohol and/or substance abuse by establishing three essential values: A commitment to Christ, restoration of the family and a positive work ethic.
This is what Victory Outreach is all about, and this is why we support them each week with our canned good donations. They are located in the old plowshares building on Luce Ave. here in Ukiah.
REMEMBER TO BRING AT LEAST ONE CAN OF FOOD EACH SUNDAY!
Creation - "It was very good." Well, not quite. In fact, from day one (Gen. 1:7), God actually said it was only "so," -- not good, and especially not very good. In fact, in Gen. 1:2, where most translations state that God "hovered" over the waters below, the correct translation of the Hebrew is "brooded." Obviously, God did not think it "very good," and thus the Bible records that day one was only "so." The same is true of day two. Even day six, and the creation of people, is only "so." In fact, God's reference to this creation being "good" is actually in relation to His overall plan of creating a process for our salvation (not the creation itself). The Greek Amplified states - "it was suitable, and He approved (good). God brooded, and He refers to the creation events as only "so," because it has to be this way, as the fall (sin) has corrupted the creation of Eden (Rom 8:22 - the creation groans).
