OFFERING

Benevolent Offering - This week our benevolent offering will be
received today for Cedars Deacon Fund during both services.
Currently this fund is at $3,103.98. The deacons have set a goal of
$5,000.00 for this fund in order to have adequate resources
available to help those in need.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Ecclesiastes - The Search for Meaning - This August, please join
us at Cedar Church as we wrestle with the meaning of life as 'it
really is!' What do we do when work seems so tedious, life is
unfair, fools get ahead, nothing makes us happy, old age treats us
with cruelty, and our eventual death seems so depressing? The
Preacher hopes to answer that question by looking at the futility of
life fromGod's high and wise perspective. Pastor Steve invites
you to jump feet-first into life's most knotty questions as we travel
through the twelve winding and circuitous chapters of the Book of
Ecclesiastes.

Friday Night Hike - Our next summer hike with Pastor Steve will
be held Friday, August 8. Meet Pastor Steve at 7:30 PM at
Hemlock Crossing Park. This park offers 239 acres of woods and
wetlands along the Pigeon River. Hemlock Crossing is located in
Port Sheldon Township at 8115 West Olive Road, West Olive, MI
49460. From US 31, travel west on Croswell Street a short
distance to West Olive Road. Turn south on West Olive Road and
travel about 0.4 miles to the entrance on the west side of the road.
Bring: Comfortable walking shoes, water bottle, flashlight, and
BUG SPRAY.
ANNOUNCEMENTS

Bike Hike with Pastor Ken - Saturday August 16 is the date of
the next Cedar Bike Ride, beginning at 9:00 am. This ride will be
for teens and adults. We will ride a 15 mile loop through the Kent
Trails and MillenniumPark. The whole ride will be on bike trails,
very safe and fun. We will take regular breaks and have a good
time riding at a moderate pace. We will stay together as a group
making sure that no one falls behind. It is a really great ride you
will not want to miss. If you have any questions please contact
Ken Smith. We will meet at the Clean Water Plant, just off
Baldwin Street in Jenison.

Ottawa County Jail Ministry Next week Sunday, Cedar
Church will host a chapel service at the Ottawa County Jail from
1:45 PM - 3:00 PM. Please keep the men in your prayers as they
minister to the inmates.

Church Picnic The annual Church Picnic is schedule for August
23, 4:30-7pm at the Allendale Community Park
(located behind the Township Office, 6676 Lake
Michigan Dr., Allendale). Come out for food, fun
and fellowship.

MISSIONS UPDATE

Dear Cedar Church,

The time has passed very quickly and we're now less than three weeks away
fromthe end of project. It won't be long until we are all at school again, so
please continue to pray for us in these final few weeks. Pray specifically that the
things we've been learning will affect our hearts and that we would apply them
in light of the gospel. Pray also that we would make best use of our time, at
work, in evangelism, and with each other, and that we not waste any
opportunity. Pray that we would finish strong. Finally pray that God would use
these last remaining days of project to shine the light of the knowledge of the
glory of God in the face of Jesus in Halea's heart and that she could become a
Christian before project ends. Pray that she would have the same joy that we
have in Christ!

Thank you for your love for us in the gospel and for your continued prayer!
In Christ
Ben Van Dyke
