Thank You
“And
He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.”
Mark 16:15
We appreciate
the Elder Bob Leek and Elder Scott Wessley answering the call to preach in the
absence of Pastor Rob on June 7th and on June 14th respectively.
Bob’s
sermon titled “Love without End” and Scott’s sermon “Just
turn it over to God” were challenging and uplifting. We thank you for sharing your time and talent in this
very special way.

Deacon’s Diary
Jeanette Chitty had
the honor of being selected Resident of the month of
June 2009, at Villa
of St John.
Pastor Rob and his
family were on vacation on the East Coast the first
two weeks of June.
We had the pleasure of Elder Bob Leek delivering
his sermon "Love Without End"
on June 7. Elder Scott Wessley delivered
his good sermon "Just
Turn It Over To God" on June 14. We wish to thank each of these gentlemen for filling in while Pastor Rob and
his family
were able to enjoy
their vacation.
Dear Friends:
Thank you for Faith Presbyterian
Church’s generous contribution of $607.00 to Heartland
Center designated to our Camper
Scholarship Fund given through the 2009 Camps for Kids Campaign.
· Camps for Kids will match
your gift dollar-for-dollar. Thank you for helping Heartland
Center receive a total gift of
$1,214.00.
Your gift helps us continue
providing camping and retreat opportunities for many children, youth, and adults. We
appreciate your support of this ministry.
Together we are making a difference
in our families, in our churches, and
in our communities.
Sincerely,
Dan Scheneman

Dear Heritage Committee:
Your generous donation of $567.00
from the memorial funds for Sue Jones on May 21, 2009 to REAP is truly appreciated.
Your kindness is something we do not take for granted, because we know there are many other organizations that you
could be supporting. We are grateful that you have chosen to make a contribution
to our program.
This support is of great help
in our ongoing efforts to provide assistance
to families in need in our
community. Your generous donation will play a crucial role in our ability to
do so and or that we say - thanks.
Sincerely,
Maggie Chase
Assistant Director

FROGGs
~ The FROGGs thank Dick and Bette Beutler for their hospitality in hosting
our annual summer outing. We had a great turn-out and all enjoyed Dick’s burgers and brats along with everyone’s
yummy salads and desserts.
FROGGS will take a break for the remaining summer
months and will resume our luncheons in September.
Congratulations Tisa! ~ Tisa Jones, former Alpha Preschool teacher, and her family have purchased their first home! Tisa
has left her job at the Raytown Hy-Vee store and will be transferring to a store closer to her new location as soon as a position
becomes available. For now she will be busy getting her family settled into their house on Grandview Street in Overland Park,
KS. We wish James, Tisa
and their family all the best as they embark on their new adventure.
Thank you Miss Dot and Faith ~
My thanks to Dot Mitchell for her help getting Shelby
through her math class, and
to Pastor Rob and Faith Church
for allowing us to use the church office as a temporary classroom. Miss Dot and
Shelby have become a familiar sight to those who frequent the church office as they spread their lessons out on the big table
each week and tackle pre-algebra. Not only has this been a life saver for Shelby, who finished the year with an
89% (!) in math, but it has been a great way for us all to keep in touch with the Mitchells. Miss Dot - please
don’t be a stranger just because we have finished the class!
