VBS 2014 is over but the effects of the ministry continue. This year six children accepted Christ as their Savior and six recommitted themselves. We had 170 children here (8% who do not have a church family) and they all heard the gospel every day! Seeds have been planted, so continue praying for the Lord to complete the work begun. We are grateful to the 124 volunteers (listed below) who made VBS possible this year.

This is why we ought to live sacrificially for our fellow believers, and not just be out for ourselves. If you see some brother or sister in need and have the means to do something about it but turn a cold shoulder and do nothing, what happens to God’s love? It disappears. And you made it disappear. My dear children, let’s not just talk about love; let’s practice real love.” I John 3:16-18 (The Message)

If you missed the offering basket this morning, offering boxes are in the Atrium.

For people of faith, living generously means allowing God to use every aspect of your life—your time and energy, your talents and influence, your priorities and possessions—for His purposes.

Congratulations! Congratulations to Athena Tarulli and Matthew Loney on their marriage that was held at Fellowship on August 9, 2014. The happy couple will reside in Columbus and will relocate to Matthew’s permanent station in the United States Army at Fort Drum, New York, in several months, upon completion of his Officer Training.

Pastor Chris Henkaline will begin his ministry at Fellowship next Sunday, August 24, preaching a series out of the Book of Acts. Please pray for Chris & Laura and their children as they settle into life here in the Chagrin Valley.

Pastor Chris Henkaline

Each month the Women’s Ministry will share a verse to unite our hearts and minds. The verse will be listed in the Bulletin, posted on the church’s website, or you can pick up a memory card in the Atrium.

August Memory Verse: “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.” Colossians 3:15

Memory Verse

Elder Update—August 2014 As the Elders joined together in prayer at a recent meeting, we spent the first hour sharing and praying about the next step in the life of Fellowship. We have been asking ourselves, “What did we learn from this transition experience?” “What does it mean to continue to grow as a body and in our community?” “What does Jesus Christ want us to recognize, foster and focus on as we look to this next chapter?” We are absolutely excited about our new lead pastor, Chris Henkaline, coming to lead our body beginning August 24. As we have come to know Chris, he would be the first to say this is not about him, but about life transformation, which means people coming to Christ and Christians becoming more like Him. It is not about the Elders, or the Staff, or any one of us individually, but it is about shifting our focus to become an Acts 2 church which “lives our faith out loud” wherever the Lord has placed us. This next chapter will be a journey that will include becoming an active participant in the community, in our families and in our individual walk with Christ. It will be about building a vision that will draw each other and the unchurched to Jesus. Our deep desire is to be united as a Body, which is bound together with trust and respect. When these elements are in place, we will be a light in the Valley and a tangible demonstration of the love of Christ. The challenge for each of us is, “What is my role and responsibility as we transition and welcome Chris as our new lead pastor?” We encourage you to spend time in prayer individually and as a Community Group, pondering this question. Ask God to fill you with the Holy Spirit, then be open to what He has to say. Thank you to all for your love and support for Fellowship!

Bob Nosal, on behalf of the Elders
