Men's Breakfast

Our church men meet monthly on a Saturday for breakfast and usually do some work at the church afterwards.

On July 28 Al Bennett flipped sourdough flap jacks for the group of men and their sons and grandsons. Afterwards they headed to Frederick to participate in Open Hangar Day at the WWII era hangar where paratroopers used to train in their C 137 A sky train.

The group witnessed the first air drop of the day and watched the men float to the ground in their WWII regalia.  Next they climbed about the airplane to inspect the interior.  It was hot and crowded. Then they toured the hangar and related exhibits, met up with Al's son, Andrew, at his display and enjoyed snow cones.

A great time was had by one and all.

Next Breakfast is Saturday, August 25 at 8:00 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall followed by a short church project workday.

Back to School Bash

This evening our local churches threw a party together. The street between the Church of Christ and the school was blocked off and there was a party in the street. Two bouncy houses, a dunking tank, water-balloon volleyball, hot dogs, lemonade, snow cones, face painting, water guns and water grenades.

The party began at 6:00 p.m. It was still our typical over 100 degrees hot weather, which was a good thing since everyone was getting wet. The kids loved bouncing and chasing each other with water guns. Teens played hilarious games of water-balloon volleyball, painted faces and got dunked. Adults served food, ate, chatted and got dunked. Every student got a backpack filled with school supplies.

It was an easy time of being together and celebrating what we have in common. We can do many wonderful things when we work together.  God seemed to be pleased as clouds gathered and a rainbow appeared over Indiahoma.

August Board Meeting

We had to cancel our monthly church lunch because the Fellowship Hall air-conditioner is not working. We had a brief board meeting in the sanctuary followed by a visit from our new District Superintendent, Chris Tiger.

Here is a synopsis of our brief Administrative Board Meeting:

Jim Perkin opened the meeting with prayer.

The minutes from the July 1st board meeting were read and approved.

Treasurers Report:
Building Fund -$1918.60
General Fund - $4125.15

No Old Business.

New Business:
The air-conditioner in Fellowship Hall is on its last legs.  Ken, head of the Trustees, reported that the AC is old, we don't know what is wrong with it and we need to get someone to look at it and diagnose the problem. We decided to get two estimates, one from Indiahoma and one from Snyder.

Pastor's Report:
At this time, Chris Tiger and his wife arrived.  Jim said he had nothing pressing and invited Chris to begin his Shepherd's visit. Meeting adjourned.

July Birthdays

We collected a lot of birthday money this Sunday in July.

Patsy, Fred the Moderator, Beth, Harold, Herwannah for Maurice,
