July 2008 Newsletter

From the Pastor

     We are to be serious when we sing "God Bless America" because our country sure is in need of much blessing. Consider out two war fronts, our gas prices, our economics, and educational problems and you know we need help. The church can make a good difference in all areas of concern. Lets' be the active and assertive Disciples of Christ God wants us to be.

   
     We are to be known by our love. So let our love show the world how to live more with less. We can live in peace with less war. We can share rides and shop for others to save gas. Our earnest prayers can turn the tide in our educational and economic system. Pray that all would seek to please God first and not themselves.
     
     Our religious freedoms in America is so precious and fair. No one is forced to practice a religion they don't want to. But on the other hand, right here in America, we are free indeed to magnify the name of Jesus by really loving all of our neighbors.
     
     So let freedom ring as the church reached out to strengthen and nurture families. Let freedom ring as the Church serves young and old in the Community. Let freedom ring as the church puts forth a bona fide effort to grow through mission and ministry. From every mountain side let the church bells ring joy, peace, and harmony.

Rev. Titus H. James, Sr.

North Heights Christian Church Dedication June 22, 2008


The Griots Cultural Arts Storytelling Institute was instrumental in obtaining a grant from the Fred and Mary Koch Foundation to implement a Learning Center for inner-city children at North Heights. The Griots mission for the project was to provide inner-city children with an opportunity to gain the life long gift of education. Founded on the belief that education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty and taking control of one's own life.

The Griots represents education, cultural enrichment, and entertainment for children and adults in the community.

Recently, Rev. Walter Walker dedicated the Learning Center and anointed every learning instrument in the Center.

Retired teacher, Ms Betty Washington will facilitate and manage the Learning center along with other volunteers. Please let her know if you would like to be a volunteer and help with this wonderful God sent opportunity to help with the education of a child.

After a very successful Vacation Bible School, there was a well attended "FINALE." Hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, drinks, along with games and good fellowship. It was family fellowship evening that was enjoyed by all.

On June 25th the Youth spent the afternoon at the Wichita Zoo. Needless to say a good time was had by all.

Everyone is looking forward to celebrating
