The garage sale
was a great success!
$1330 was raised to
go toward improvements to the building
&/or grounds.
Thank you to everyone who donated treasures, helped set up and
put away, and all who
shopped the sale! We
couldn’t have done it
without you!
Start saving your
stuff for the next sale!
Many thanks to
Marilyn Starnes-Biggs
who graciously provided our new name
tags.
Marilyn (a member of Central CC)
owns Bull's Trophy Shop in Springfield and wanted to give this as a
gift to Abbey Road CC. Our original
list was not complete, so if you do
not have one, please let the church
office know, and we will order them
in a couple of weeks. There will be a
metal board in the Narthex where
you can pick them up and return
them each Sunday. With new members coming on board and a new
Minister and family, they will be a
great help for everyone to learn
names.

5th Sunday Offering

offerings are received for specific
purposes. This Sunday, some of the
needs you may choose to support
are: Helping Hand Fund, BackStage
Faith, the Labyrinth, or AC replacement—approximately $3,300 over
the budgeted amount of $6,000 is
needed to help fund replacement of
2 AC/furnace units which service the
sanctuary. Please designate in the
memo line where you wish your
contribution to be credited.
Adult Sunday School July 31
The Middle Room class will continue study of Rachel Held Evans’
book, Searching for Sunday, with
discussion of Anointing of the Sick,
“Oil”, beginning on page 203 & continue on 10-20 pages.
The Green Room class will continue study of Christianity’s Family
Tree: What Christians Believe and
Why by Adam Hamilton. Please read
Chapter 7 (“Pentecostalism: The
Power of the Spirit” pp.95-110). The
book examines Orthodoxy, Catholicism, Lutheranism, Presbyterianism,
Anglicanism, Baptists, Pentecostalism, and Methodism.
New Adult Sunday School Class
Begins August 14:
Paul—The Apostle “come lately”
Learn of Saul’s conversion to
Christianity and his
commissioning for
special work among
the Christian Gentiles.
Study his letters to
the early Christian
churches guiding
them in how to be Christ’s church.
Consider what this means for us today and how it applies to our missionary work all over the world.
The class will be led by Betty &
Jim Stricker, who were sent out
from this church and spent three
years as Disciples missionaries in the
country of Nepal.
If you are interested in the class,
books are available for pick up in
the church office.
Golden Boys will meet at 8:00
on Tuesday at My Daddy’s
Cheesecake. Please join us for
breakfast and conversation.

Dear Friends,
I am so grateful for the cards, notes,
texts, emails, visits, and especially for
your prayers during my recent illness;
all were appreciated. Thank you to everyone!
Wilma Dooley
To Pastor Ron and my friends at ARCC:
Thank you for the cards and your visits
to the hospital while I was a patient there.
It meant so much to me and I feel truly
blessed. It was a difficult time that was
made easier by Pastor Ron and
my church family.
Thank you,
Wilma Baldwin
