Grace provides a quarterly devotion book, Portals of Prayer, for anyone who would like to use them. The July—September issue is now available in the Narthex. There are a limited number of large print editions. Please take them to use and to share. Spend time in God’s Word every day.

Camp Noah VBS Because of the tornado that swept through Garland six months ago, Tree of Life Lutheran is offering a special VBS this year. At Camp Noah, a team of Certified Camp Staff will accompany campers through an intentional process that enables the children to process their disaster experiences and gives them the space and time necessary to tell their stories and build resiliency skills. Camp Noah is a two week camp at which 80 children will be fed breakfast, lunch and two snacks. Camp will run Monday-Friday 8:30am3pm, July 25-29 and August 1-5. If you would like to help provide things for this camp, there is a list of items needed for meals and snacks on the bulletin by the church office.

Please remember in prayer Nick Pappas as he serves as a counselor at Camp Lone Star this Summer under the theme “Truth Revealed”. Tori Pappas is also serving as Junior Staff this week.
