Ever open your Bible and just don’t know what to read? And if you do pick something, you’re not sure how to read it or interpret it? Or maybe you’ve never even tried studying the Bible, but you know you should… but you don’t know how?

On the Monday nights of August at 6:30p, Mike & Barb Johnson will be doing a class on the Epistles (the New Testament books written in the form of letters from an Apostle). The schedule for the month will be…

• August 5th: Galatians
• August 12th: Ephesians
• August 19th: Philippians
• August 26th: Colossians

Feel free to read each book the week before the study. Mike & Barb are excellent Bible teachers and have been passionate in their pursuit of Jesus for many years! They have a passion to help others understand the Bible and grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ, so take this opportunity to study the Bible with these gifts from Jesus!

On Tuesday, August 6th from 4:00p - 6:00p, the Spencer Seventh-Day Adventist Church is once again holding its Mobile Food Pantry in partnership with the Food Bank of Iowa!

A mobile food pantry is a drive-thru "farmer's market" style distribution targeted toward individuals and families in need of food assistance and is free and open to the public.

RECEIVING FOOD:

If you would like to receive food from this mobile food pantry, head to the Spencer SDA Church (1910 10th Ave E Spencer) on Tuesday, November 2nd between 4:00p and 6:00p (the parking lot will not open until after 3:00p). Park on East 18th Street south of the church and please remain in your vehicle. Volunteers will register you, direct you where to go and load your food. For cancellation or changes to the event, listen to KICD radio.

VOLUNTEERING:

If you would like to volunteer at this mobile food pantry, you can show up at the Spencer SDA Church (1910 10th Ave E Spencer) on Tuesday, November 2nd no later than 3:30p so jobs can be assigned. You should be able to lift 20 lbs, stand outside, and not be an "at-risk individual". Masks are optional. Food will be loaded into the vehicles as they drive by from pallets that will be on the sidewalk. The church will be open for volunteers for refreshments and bathroom use or if it is cold, to warm up. If you have any questions regarding volunteering, you can contact Joan Schwarz at (712) 262-5213.
