Walk A Mile
I wish I could walk, in your shoes a mile
so I can understand the depth of your trial.
To see life from, the soles of your feet
so I can experience the challenges you meet.
I wish I could walk, the path you’re living
so I can be to you much more forgiving.
To see life from, all that you have seen
the highs and lows the realities in between.
I wish you could walk, a mile in my shoes
and see why I believe in sharing the Good News!
Judge not, that ye be not judged… and with what measure ye mete,
it shall be measured to you again. Matt 7:1-2

**South Valley Pillow Mission would like to thank all the volunteers who helped with our

zones and hospitals. We are an organization that shreds donated clothes and foam to make
pillows. We would also like to thank all the ladies who sewed pillow cases in their homes. For

help to make this successful. May God bless you! For more information call

Announcement Re: Scent Free Zone
Due to a number of our parishioners being allergic to scents or fragrances,
we are asking you, the congregation, to consider not wearing perfumes,
colognes and other strongly scented products.
Philippians 2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in
lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
Let’s be considerate of those who have allergies.

**Maverick’s Journey Update (from the family)
I am thrilled to share some truly wonderful news with you all! The doctors
have scheduled Maverick’s surgery for July 13 or 14, and we couldn’t be
more grateful. Thanks to the Lord’s grace, the tumor has shrunk significantly,
making it almost undetectable during examinations. This is a miraculous
step forward on his journey to recovery. Let’s continue to pray that Maverick
starts eating again soon, and with hopeful hearts, we look forward to
welcoming him back home in the near future. Thank you all for your
unwavering support and prayers! Also please pray for all the children
in the hospital.
