Thank you to our "Ding-a-lings"...er...bell ringers.  Ottawa Presby folks rang bells for the Salvation Army's "Christmas in July" last week on July 24 and 25.  Over $2,000 was raised--because need knows no season.  Ho!  Ho!  Ho!
 
DON'T FORGET--OUTDOOR WORSHIP AT HAPPY ACRES ON AUGUST 3. IF YOU COME TO THE CHURCH BUILDING, YOU MAY BE ALL BY YOURSELF....

 Pastor Lynn Bova is serving as our temporary lay pastor.  Her goal is to be in the office two days each week. 
 
During much of August, Pastor Lynn will be on vacation from her long list of part-time jobs.  She will be in Ottawa on the following days from now through the end of August:
     Wednesday-7/23 (Session), Thursday-7/24, Monday-7/28, Wednesday-7/30, Tuesday-8/5, Wednesday-8/6.  And then it's time to pack for a well-deserved trip! 
     Pastor Lynn will return to the pulpit on Sunday, August 31.
     While Pastor Lynn is away, please contact the office if you need pastoral care.  Reverend Roy Pneuman will be on call for our congregation during this time.
 
You may also contact Pastor Lynn by email at pastor@ottawapresby.org or cell phone (419) 297-8539.
