SUNDAY SCHOOL SUNDAY, JULY 1ST BRILL CHAPEL 9:30 AM JESUS CALLS FOR JUSTICE AND MERCY No Limits Many car insurance companies include “accident forgiveness” in their policies. The specifics of how this concept works vary, but the foundational idea is that the insurance company will “forgive” a policyholder's first accident by not increasing his or her premiums. Some companies offer accident forgiveness as a reward for anyone who chooses to be insured by them. Some offer it to customers who have been with them for a certain length of time, etc. At the same time, there are limits to this kind of forgiveness. Just because an insurance company forgives your at-fault accident does not mean that the points added to your driving record are removed. That part of your driving record is separate from what the insurance company can promise to do for you. Accident forgiveness does have its limitations. In this week's text, Peter asks Jesus a question about limits on forgiveness. The gist of Jesus' initial response is that there should be none. The master teacher then proceeds to tell a parable that challenges Peter (and us) to think not only of forgiving others but also of how much we have been forgiven by our heavenly Father. The measure of the latter should affect our perspective on the former. Our own Fretta Moore will bless us on the piano at 9:15. You don't want to miss it. Tracy Wilson will lead us this Sunday. Come to learn about this prickly issue.

NEW THINGS AT BRILL CHAPEL The next time you are near Brill Chapel look up and give thanks ….. for the beautiful new sign that will give direction to new residents, new staff, and outside visitors who are looking for the Chapel. We are also pleased to announce a new service that has been previously announced through the Resident Council. The Upper Room for July and August has arrived and is now available for those of you who do not have access to this popular devotional guide. You may pick up your large or regular print copy in the Chapel foyer in a display located to the left of the Chapel office door. If you would like to help defray the cost, there is a dedicated slot marked “donation” as a part of the display. The “Upper Room” is a household name for the thousands who subscribe to this popular daily devotional book. Since many Churches provide their membership with this devotional guide, many Epworth residents pick up their copy at their local church. The Upper Room’s slogan is “Where the World Meets to Pray.” It is ecumenical in nature, printed in five different countries and translated into 33 different languages. One of the reasons for its popularity and success is that it is written by ordinary people just like you and me, who tell their stories and share their Faith. Both the new sign and the Upper Room are sponsored by the RLC and funded by two sources, donated monies by residents attending the weekly Sunday School services and allocated funds from the Resident Association. Wilma R. Chairperson of Religious Life Committee

REMINDERS ABOUT THE POOL: We are approaching the time when grandkids and family come to visit and swim in the pool. Don’t forget the pool rules regarding visitors: All guests and family members (adults and children) must sign in and be accompanied and supervised by a resident. Residents are responsible for the actions of their guest(s) and the resident assumes financial and personal responsibility for any damage done. A waiver of liability must be signed and a pool pass picked up at the front desk before any guests or family members may use the pool.

Publications are available in The Museum Store (15% discount for Museum members). Stranded: A Story of Frontier Survival, a Western Heritage Award winner for Western Novel by Matthew P. Mayo, is based on a true account of 14 year-old Janette Riker who, in the autumn of 1849, travels westward to Oregon Territory with her father and two brothers. She was challenged with blizzards, frostbite, and gnawing hunger and rose to each challenge, relying on herself more than she knew possible. Her only comfort comes in writing in her diary, where she shares her fears, her travails, and her dwindling hopes. For more information or to register, please click on the link https://bit.ly/2LIBBv4 or visit our website at www.nationalcowboymuseum.org. The West Book Club will also meet on August 2nd for the book LaRose and August 30th for the book Orphan Train. Please note: Epworth WILL NOT be offering transportation to these meetings.
NOTE FROM DINING SERVICES: Market prices have been steadily increasing on beef tenderloin and have currently been holding at $10.99 per pound. Last month we purchased it for $10.13 per pound. That is an .86 cents per pound price difference. If the market price keeps increasing, we will have no choice but to increase the plate price in both the Redbud and Bistro dining rooms until the price comes back down. Thank you for your understanding and we’ll keep you informed. Chris Stettnisch Director of Dining Services 14
