FROM THE COUNCIL

   This morning we are privileged to witness the sacrament of baptism as it is administered to Tate Van Donge, infant son of Jesse and Wendy Van Donge.  The Care Group invites everyone to stay for coffee and cookies in the cafeteria after the baptism this morning. 

    The monthly deacon and council meeting will be held Tuesday September 7 with the deacons' meeting beginning at 7pm and the council meeting at 8pm at the American State Bank in town.
   The monthly consistory meeting will be held Monday September 13 at 7pm at Hull PRC.
   The consistory will be handing out catechism books today after the morning service.  Pastor Griess asks that those who are in Essentials and at least one of their parents meet very quickly with him in the auditorium after the morning service as well.  Catechism will begin on September 7 and 8 at the regularly scheduled. All classes will be held at the Hull PRC.     

   The church visitors will conduct their annual meeting with the council and consistory of our church at 7 pm Tuesday August 31.  The meeting will be held at the American State Bank here in Hull.

Francesco deLucia.  The three Senior Students are serving Internships through December (Nathan Decker, Brian Huizinga, and Jon Mahtani).  May the Lord of the harvest bless the instruction unto the preparation of laborer's

   This past Monday, the Lord suddenly delivered Pastor Rinat Fazliev to glory.  Pastor Fazliev led a small house-church in Uzbekistan and has been in contact with the PRC through the Contact Committee for several years.  He had been sick for some time, having been afflicted with a severe kidney disease.  Pastor Dilshod Abdulaev, the other PRC contact in Uzbekistan, conducted the funeral.  Rinat is survived by his wife, Galina, and his two children, Mark (11 years old) and Yana (7 years old).  Let us remember the Fazliev family and the Uzbek churches before our heavenly Father's throne, and may our gracious God give them the hope of resurrection and life in Him who is the Resurrection and the Life.
