ANNOUNCEMENTS

All-Church Information
1. For Sunday, July 24:
– Regular Morning Schedule
– Deron’s Bible available to sign for the Time Capsule
– Quarterly Business Meeting at 5:15 p.m.
– 30th Anniversary Reception for Larry Merideth at 6:00 p.m.

2. Time Capsule Update! As many of you already know, Deron is preparing a new Time Capsule to go back into the cornerstone of the church just prior to completion of the renovation. He plans to include the Bible he has been preaching from for the past two or three years in that capsule. He has made this Bible available for church members to circle their favorite Scripture and sign their name. Some of you have already availed yourself of this opportunity. This Bible will be available in the Detroit Entrance Foyer this Sunday morning, July 24, if you care to add your Scripture and name into this Bible before it goes permanently into the Time Capsule later this summer.

3. The next August sessions of the Pastor’s First Glance Class will be held on Sunday, August 7 & 14. If you have recently joined or have been visiting FBC Tulsa and would like to take a closer look at our fellowship of believers, please make your reservation for the July sessions by calling Deron Spoo’s office, 918-594-5019, to make a reservation. The class will meet in the Church Parlor at 9:45 a.m. and will be led by our Lead Pastor, Deron Spoo.

4. Caring Center Needs: Our Caring center is in desperate need of men’s summer t-shirts and short sleeve shirts in all sizes, especially big ones (XXL and bigger). The storage tubs at the Caring Center are empty and the racks are REALLY getting sparse. This excessive hot weather is quickly draining the supplies. Also remember that there is a need for all kinds of hygiene items: toothbrushes, razors, deodorant and toilet paper. The Caring Center can use the little travel size stuff left over from your stays at hotels and motels.

5. The annual Back-to-School Style Show & Brunch, benefitting the Owasso Baptist Children’s Home, will be held on Saturday, August 6, at the Renaissance Hotel. Tickets are $17 per person for this event which starts at 10:30 a.m. For more information, please call Janice Turner at 918-970-6990.

6. Calling All Men: Our Annual Men’s Retreat will be held on August 19 & 20 at Tulakogee. For more information, see the blog, or to register, please contact Kristin White at 918-594-5073, or email kwhite@tulsafbc.org.

Missions
Help us with FBC’s Mission Action Project for July! School Supply Stock-Up – Since school starts in August, we will be collecting school supplies in July. Please try to bring these items to the church early in July so that we can have them ready for distribution before school starts. You can bring notebook paper, spirals, crayons, pencils, pens and boxes of tissues. These much needed and much appreciated supplies are distributed to children in our church’s adoption of some area elementary schools. For more information, please contact Maribeth Dean at 918-481-5834.
