Pastor Neal prayed the pastoral prayer and Danny Johnson led us in two songs.
Pastor Neal read from Luke 8. Jesus with his 12 goes throughout every city and village preaching and showing glad tidings of the kingdom of God. Certain women ministered unto Him of their substance. He then taught the parable of the sower. What kind of soil are we? Several prayed at the altar.
At 6 p.m., Stan Humbyrd prayed our beginning prayer with singing following. Testimonies were given. It is always so good to hear what our great God is doing.

LeaAnn and Erin Crum did the special music.
Pastor Neal read from Luke 8, the lighted candle, and Matthew 13. We are told in God’s word to let our light shine.
Martin and Amy Hodges of Nixa have a precious little girl named Ryann Faith. She weighed 7 lbs. 11 oz. and was 21 inches long, born on Tuesday, July 19. It is great to have another little one in our church family. Jesus loved the little children and so do we.
I am glad to report that Bill Comer is home doing well after three days in the hospital. He said thanks for your prayers.
