Most of these names came from the surveys that we have been . Quote for the giving. Week . One good sign came at this week’s Belvedere Sunday service. For the first time that I can Announcements remember a family (a couple and their two children (an inter-racial couple – white and black)) drove in off the street and attended our service. They had a good experience, were curious about our beliefs, which they realized had a different emphasis, and volunteered their email address, asking that we contact them when we have special events. Although they expressed that they are happy in their current church (they came to us, because their church changed locations and they weren’t able to find it – and then they saw our sign on Broadway), but that they would like to learn more about what we teach (and so I gave them our website information).
Please do your best today and tomorrow – to reach out, make a friend, invite someone to church this coming Sunday, ask someone to take a survey, or just hand someone a card.
Next – let’s keep up our momentum and go even further in August – as we approach True Father’s one year ascension anniversary on Aug 23. Through our daily investment we can bring joy to our True Parents.
Finally, be sure you watch this week’s video message from Dr Balcomb. http://vimeo.com/71054772

Light Thought for the Day:
The Scale Two children went into their parent’s bathroom and noticed the scale in the corner.
“Whatever you do,” cautioned one child to the younger one, “don’t step on it!”
“Why not?” asked the sibling.
“Because every time mom does, she lets out an awful scream!”
