As the church's website administrator, I route prayer requests through to our prayer warriors. These six people are committed to praying for those in need.  And I've noticed a lot of need lately.  People are dealing with really tough life issues on a daily basis, and it is easy when we have smooth sailing in our life to get complacent about those in need. When I make the effort...a meal, a prayer, a smile, a card, a kind word...I am reminded that I have been there and was lifted up through others making the effort to do these things for me.

Six weeks and two days until we leave for Uganda!  A lot of exciting things are happening!

• The women of Lake Union Church organize an annual pie and ice cream social. This year it is August 12 and the free will offering will be donated toward the Uganda mission project.  Now that is cool!
• Water tumblers just came in and members will make paracord handles (purple and orange, of course).  The water tumblers and paracord handles will bring in more funds to help the Uganda project. They look great!
• There is a kickball event on August 5 at 4 pm at the Annandale City Park.  People are invited to "sponsor" a soccer ball for us to take to Uganda.  The church is filling a large suitcase of gifts for Siloam Community Outreach!
• And funds continue to come in for the building of the school.  We are at ~35% and, through faith, continue to send funds a bit at a time to Pastor Peter for the continued progress on the foundation and building. My heart is touched by each and every contribution.

Many thanks to all involved in this project!  And our friends in Uganda also give thanks for everyone's love and support!  Larry and I are excited to see our Uganda friends soon!
