We invite everyone to join us for fellowship time, immediately after the 10:00 service, in the fellowship hall.
If you would like to place flowers on the chancel to honor or celebrate a loved one or a special occasion or “just because,” please contact Susie Alexander at 251-943-4145 or 217- 246-4051.
Are you willing to serve as an acolyte, as a greeter/usher or lead “time with the children”? Contact Greg McNair, worship elder, at 251-965-1003 or gregmcnair@centurylink.net.

| ►Adult Sunday school class led by Bill and Catherine | |
Bill and Catherine’s class will meet at 9 a.m. in room 2 in the annex. The class is studying the book of Genesis. Join us.
| ►‘Snacks with Susan and Daryl’ Sunday school class | |
Susan and Daryl’s class, which normally meets at 9 a.m. in the fellowship hall, is taking a summer break.
Snacks with Susan and Daryl will resume on Aug. 7 with a four-week study by Matt Rawle titled “The Faith of a Mockingbird.” Sticking with our Alabama roots, we will look at four characters in To Kill a Mockingbird, written by our neighbor to the north — Harper Lee. We will explore how God is present in pop culture and how these keys to the story show God’s love and redemptive spirit. Join us for good conversation and some different thoughts on a familiar novel/movie.
| ►Sunday school for children and youth | |
Tracy Akins’s class, which normally meets at 9 a.m. in the youth room in the annex, is taking the summer off.

Thank you for your generous pledges and ongoing offerings. Your support and commitment to Swift Church is greatly appreciated.
