Manna from heaven is this week's Sunday reading. I had such fun choosing the cartoons for this subject; I had many to choose from. I hope they give you a giggle.
There are both church announcements and community announcements so check them out. There are inspirational quotes, the Sunday readings, a word scramble and a closing prayer.
Enjoy!
Volunteers are urgently needed in British Columbia’s Kelowna region after a wildfire forced thousands of residents to evacuate and burned more than 200 buildings, including around 150 homes.
A Samaritan’s Purse Disaster Relief Unit tractor trailer has arrived to equip volunteer teams to remove debris and help families sift through the ashes for treasured possessions. Will you consider volunteering to help in Jesus’ Name?
We provide full training, safety equipment, and expert team leaders. You can learn more and register to serve at SamaritansPurse.ca/BCVolunteer. Please also forward this email to others you know who might be interested.
Groups interested in coming for week-long deployments can contact us at canadianrelief@samaritan.ca.
Thank you for your prayers for those devastated by these fires. Please also pray for our teams as they help homeowners start a long journey to recovery and share the Gospel in word and deed.
You can also help by giving to this response.
Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

Here is this week's Connecting Meota. Our Sunday morning readings for the next few weeks will be the unfolding story of Moses. This week it is the story of God speaking to Moses in the burning bush. Yes, there were lots of jokes and cartoons that I could have chosen for our newsletter that involved marshmallows, Haha!! I restrained myself. Check out the ones I did choose. We are all concerned about the people affected by the wildfires. The Anglican Primate's World Development and Relief Fund sends 100% of all donations to the frontline. If you want to donate, there is an article explaining the Primate's fund and a link for donations. Also this week, there is a prayer on how to listen to God, and announcements on the Horticultural Society and a Diamond Valley workshop on fall flowers.
Check it all out. Have a good week and God bless you!

Good Summer to all in Meota!
This week has the readings for this Sunday, some opportunities listed for the great outdoors in our local area and of course, Funny Bones!
We will not have the Livestream available due to our volunteers being on holidays, but this gives us a good excuse to attend worship in person. The summer weather is nice, the church flowers are beautiful and the people are friendly.
One last reminder that July 15th from 11 - 3 is the FLOWER FESTIVAL. The scones and strawberry preserves are the best!! This is a lovely event to bring family, friends or neighbours. Hope to see you there!
Have a blessed week!
