Moving people toward Jesus. Why is that so important? Jesus said in John 14:6: “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” As a Church that is what we believe. Now, we are not saying that we should not seek help from doctors, or counsellors or friends or studying resources. But we believe that only when we have a relationship with Jesus can we become all that God intended for us to be when He created us. In this issue of the Chit Chat, you will find information about some events and activities that are coming up in the next few months. I believe that these events and activities are intended to help us fulfill that mission statement. Some of the events are intended to provide opportunities for us to get to know other people in our Church family better. We have camp fires, picnics, fellowship meals, so we can talk with others in our Church. Those conversations will develop deeper friendships. Those conversations will help us to pray for each other and to encourage one another with words of care and concern. Some of the events are intended to give us opportunities to welcome people into our fellowship who are not yet a part of us. Through VBS, a Community picnic, and concerts, we can connect with people and let them know that we are a welcoming family who want to see others become a part of us. Sometimes the first step toward Jesus involves winning people to “us”. And some of the events are intended to give us a chance to talk to people about Jesus. To tell people that Jesus can forgive our sin, and change the direction of our lives. Jesus can give us a new life that will extend into eternity. So please support these events through your prayers and attendance. Support them by inviting folks to attend and participate. Shipwrecked VBS: Rescued by Jesus Vacation Bible School this year is Shipwrecked VBS: Rescued by Jesus and will be held every evening from July 23 to 27 from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. VBS is open to any child ages 3 to 12. Children do not have to attend this church to attend VBS. So, if you have children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, neighborhood children ages 3 through 12, encourage them to attend. At Shipwrecked, kids discover that Jesus rescues them! Kids will participate in memorable Bible- learning activities, sing catchy songs, play teamwork- building games, make and devour yummy treats, experience one-of-a-kind Bible adventures, collect Bible Memory Buddies to remind them of God’s love, and test out Sciency-Fun Gizmos they’ll take home and play with all summer long. Plus, kids will learn to look for evidence of God all around them through something called God Sightings. Each day concludes with the Sail Away Sendoff that gets everyone involved in living what they’ve learned. Kids at Shipwrecked VBS will participate in a missions effort to provide seeds for families in Haiti to grow food. Parents are invited to join their children for a picnic and the closing program on Friday evening.

From the Pastor:

We say that the reason Germantown Church of God exists is to Move people who are broken spiritually, physically, relationally, or emotionally, toward Jesus where they can find healing and be transformed into the image of Jesus. Moving people toward Jesus. Why is that so important? Jesus said in John 14:6: “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” As a Church that is what we believe. Now, we are not saying that we should not seek help from doctors, or counsellors or friends or studying resources.

Mission of the Month – July Samir & Charusheela Singha – India

Samir Singha serves as the Field Director for the Churches of God ministry in India. His wife is Charusheela and they have a daughter Madhumita.

The India ministry operates the Uluberia Mission House School, as well as, a Child Development Center. More than 530 children are enrolled in these schools. Today the work includes 35 locations throughout West Bengal. Kids and families alike are impacted by camps that help equip and invest in their spiritual welfare. In 2017, 1,110 children and their family’s members attended the family camps, Gospel youth meetings, vacation bible school, and staff retreats. In India, there are 35 fellowships and worship centers in the seven West Bengal districts. In 2017, 110 new friends joined our fellowships

Mission of the Month – August Doug & Anna-Karin Molgaard

Born into a Churches of God pastor’s family, Doug committed his life to Christ in summer camp. A deepening faith after high school created an interest in missions. Doug went to Western Europe in 1989 with Eurasia Teen Challenge. Later in Sweden, he met Anna-Karin at a missions conference. They were married and served in a church planting ministry in Gothenburg, Sweden for 10 years

as CGGC affiliate missionaries. After a two year pastorate in western Pennsylvania, Doug and Anna-Karin returned to Gothenburg in August 2005 as CGGC/CCM missionaries. Working in partnership with InterAct and New Life Church in Stockholm, the multicultural and bilingual New Life Gothenburg Church was officially launched in October 2008. They then shifted their focus in 2010 to reach out to postmodern Swedes through a network of simple, missional, organic communities (SMOC). They continue with that focus in partnership with Christian Associates International (christianassociates.org) The Molgaards have three daughters: Thyra, Sarah and Emma.

Please pray for the Singha’s and the Molgaard’s. You can also support them financially. Send your gifts to Churches of God, P. O. Box 926, Findlay, OH 45840.

WORTH SHARING...

“When I say I am a Christian”

When I say, “I am a Christian” I’m not shouting, “I’ve been saved!”

I’m whispering, “I get lost sometimes That’s why I chose this way”

When I say, “I am a Christian” I don’t speak with human pride I’m confessing that I stumble –

needing God to be my guide

When I say, “I am a Christian” I’m not trying to be strong

I’m professing that I’m weak and pray for strength to carry on

When I say, “I am a Christian” I’m not bragging of success

I’m admitting that I’ve failed and cannot ever pay the debt

When I say, “I am a Christian” I don’t think I know it all I submit to my confusion

asking humbly to be taught

When I say, “I am a Christian” I’m not claiming to be perfect

My flaws are far too visible but God believes I’m worth it

When I say, “I am a Christian” I still feel the sting of pain

I have my share of heartache which is why I seek God’s name

When I say, “I am a Christian” I do not wish to judge

I have no authority I only know I’m loved

Poetry by Gwen ...

Our Heavenly Father

God sits up in Heaven, Content on His throne,

We live down here, And some of us moan.

Things go haywire Almost every day. We cry for a while,

Then kneel down and pray To God up in Heaven

To bring peace to our lives, For problems we can't solve No matter how hard we try.

God has the answers To all our aches and pains, We need to trust Him today So we kneel down and pray.

He hears all our wants And answers our prayers, So put your trust in Him For us He'll never fail.

When our lives here have ended, We'll all be Heaven-bound,

If we live by His word, We may inherit a crown.

Kelly Lesher Graduates College Kelly B. (Starliper) Lesher, graduated Cum Laude on

Saturday, May 5 from Penn State-Mont Alto, PA at the

College of Health and Human Development and University

College with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Human

Development and Family Studies. While there she was

inducted into the Honor Societies of Phi Kappa Phi and

Alpha Sigma Lambda.

Kelly is the youngest daughter of Keith and Kathryn

Starliper. She is a single mom with two children, Gunner

(15) and Kyleigh Lesher (14). Kelly is employed with a

daycare in Chambersburg and is pursuing a Master's

degree.

Krista, Lori, Kelly, Dad, & Mom

To celebrate Kelly's achievements, a delicious family

style dinner was held in her honor at the families favorite

eating establishment at Hickory Bridge Restaurant in

Ortanna, to celebrate her achievements on Sunday, May 6th,

hosted by her parents. Kelly's oldest sister, Lori Fugate

accompanied by her daughters, Aryn Fugate, Jessica

Peterson and Jessie's 2 ½ year old daughter, Gracie Ann,

flew in from Shakopee, Minnesota to help in the

celebration and to visit with the family siblings and parents.

Sister, Krista Myers and husband, Jay, son Jacob and friend

Molly Hudak all of Greencastle joined in the celebration.

While here, Lori and her family spent a lot of time with

her sisters and parents. It was a most enjoyable time

especially getting to know (and spoil) little Grace. She took

a special interest in cousin, Gunner. But also enjoyed her

aunts, uncle and other cousins as well. She particularly

enjoyed going to “GG's” and Pops home and playing in the

great outdoors with her extended family in Pennsylvania!

What a blessing getting to know this little one.

Here is a photo of Gracie when she was on Southwest Airline

flight going home, looking at the

Captain in the cockpit. He said

she could sit in his seat (but she

would have never come out and every button would be touched).

A special treat was given on

Mother's day as the siblings

prepared dinner for the family,

especially their mom and dad. Mom was ordered to stay out

of the kitchen! (And she did!) 'Thank you God, for giving

me a loving, caring family'. They are truly appreciated by

mom and dad.

In Honor of Kelly's graduation from Waynesboro High

School in 1995, her maternal grandmother, Jane Kendall

sent her a card with a handwritten note which stated: “Just

a reminder, if you want to accomplish anything in life, you

need first to put your life in God's hands. The easiest way

to get anything done, is to tackle it right away, then

continue to ask God's help and rely on Him, rather than yourself and others alone. Since I've been fighting cancer,

I've depended a lot on Proverbs 3:5-6, Matthew 28:20b.

Read it, then go to John 3:16. Memorize them and remember my thank you note*. I meant every word. Love,

Grandma

*Please remember what a special person you are, how

much you mean to our family and how very much you are

loved. Congratulations! I know you can do it. Remember I still love you! Grandma. (PS: Don't forget Samson).

NOTE: Kelly shared this note from her grandmother with her mother who filed it away among her treasures. I

thought it was fitting at this time to share with the church

family. I never saw this until much later after mother passed.

Kathryn Starliper

Our deepest sympathy to Greg and

Deanna Shaffer who lost his father,

Edward Shafer, on April 25.

Our condolences to Wanda Ditch on

the passing of her brother, Richard

Miller, Sr., on June 20.

I thought my life was over,

my heart was full of sighs.

I could not see a future

but much to my surprise.

My Loving Father knew

a plan He had for me,

It was in His gentle hands,

He knew my destiny.

It was for more glorious

then I could ever guess.

Because dear child

He knows . . .

and gives us what is best.
