Rev. Leroy Hall
Dear Friends,
The Bible says “Because
they have forsaken me and
burned incense to other
Gods, that they might provoke
me to anger with all the works
of their hands. Therefore my
wrath will be poured outon this
place, and not be quenched”.
1 Chronicles 34:25. Both
Deuteronomy and Leviticus
had long lists of blessings
for obedience and curses for
rebellion, which were part of
the conditions attached to the
covenant with Israel. In all of
life, no greater sin, no more
serious or sadder error could
be made than to forsake God
and believe other Gods. Such
an act cuts one off from all of
the loving care, wisdom, and
discipline of the creator God.
Apostasy grieves God, and it
grieves those who love God.
Mercy, grace, and love are
always available to us, for the
Lord is always available to
us.

Dodger
“What a wretched man I am! Who
will rescue me from this body of
death?”
(Romans 7:24 NIV)
In my daughter’s neighborhood
lives a dog who is a major pest.
Dodger wants you, or anyone within
his vision, to throw a stick for him
over and over and over. Don’t dare
pick up the slimy piece of wood he
drops at your feet. He will dance
around you and try to entice you to
play his game, but don’t give in, or
you’re stuck!
Some nights my brain acts like
Dodger when I try to fall asleep. I
cannot seem to stop thinking about
this or that. Give an inch and my
daughter’s neighborhood fetcher
will take a mile. So will my frenzied
thoughts, if I let them.
Kimberly Jones reminded me
from her book, You Gotta Get Up,
“God trusted you with your mess
so you can impact others with His
message.” The Holy Spirit works in
and through me at the perfect time
and in the perfect way to serve in
His kingdom. He shines so others
will see Him in my mistakes. When
you can relate to me, you can relate
to God. That is what God Sightings
are all about!
Humans struggle with the same
things. God orchestrates our lives
to remind us that we are not alone.
He created us for community, not
isolation. We all suffer with messes
and failures that might threaten to
keep us up at night. A mind focused
on Jesus will find rest.
Instead of trying to be everything
to everyone, to control and order
upcoming events and activities,
my heavenly Father calls me to
breathe, focus on Him, and relax in
a peaceful, calm sleep in His arms.
I will dodge the distractions and
reach for my heavenly Father today.
I hope you will, too!

Kids HOT? How about some
How to play the water bucket game? You will need two buckets,
one filled with water and a big sponge.
At the front of the line have a bucket full of water and a sponge.
The first player fills the sponge with water and runs across the yard
to squeeze the water into the empty bucket. The player then returns
to the first bucket and hands off the sponge to the next player. This
is repeated until the players fill the second bucket with water.
This game can be timed to see how long it takes the players to
fill the second bucket or if there are enough players to make two
teams, the team that fills the second bucket first is declared the
winner.
Greensboro First
Presbyterian to Host
Hymn Shout-Out
Psalm 66 says, “Shout for joy to God, all the earth!
Sing the glory of his name. ”
That special something at a community Shout-Out.
That is exactly what The
First Presbyterian Church
of Greensboro will be doing
Sunday, July 21 at 5:00 pm, and
EVERYONE in our community
is invited to attend this joyous
event. The church will be hosting
an old-fashioned Hymn Shout-
Out...also known as a hymn
sing...and we will be using the
old Cokesbury Hymnal to praise
God and give thanks.
Everyone attending is asked
to find one of their favorite
hymns in the Cokesbury Hymnal
- a hymnal used by previous
generations of fellow believers
- and “shout out” that hymn’s
page number. After everyone
in the congregation has a few
moments to turn to that page,
everyone in attendance will
make a joyful noise and sing
that hymn together as one body.
Please join us on Sunday, July
21 at 5:00 pm as we joyfully
pay tribute to God and to those
who have gone before us as we
sing traditional hymns - hymns
that were so meaningful and
precious to our grandparents
and those who came before
them. If your heart longs for the
hymns of old, this is an event
you will not want to miss.
The First Presbyterian
Church of Greensboro is located
at 117 South Main Street (next
to the post office) in downtown
Greensboro.

Preamble to the
Declaration of
Independence
We hold these truths to be self-
evident, that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed
by their Creator with certain
unalienable Rights, that among
these are Life, Liberty and the
pursuit of Happiness.
Nations come into being in
many ways. Military rebellion,
civil strife, acts of heroism, acts
of treachery, a thousand greater
and lesser clashes between
defenders of the old order and
supporters of the new-all these
occurrences and more have
marked the emergences of new
nations, large and small. The birth
of our own nation included them
all. That birth was unique, not only
in the immensity of its later impact
on the course of world history and
the growth of democracy, but also
because so many of the threads
in our national history run back
through time to come together
in one place, in one time, and in
one document: the Declaration of
Independence.
The Declaration of
Independence states the
principles on which our
government, and our identity as
Americans, are based. Unlike
the other founding documents,
the Declaration of Independence
is not legally binding, but it is
powerful. Abraham Lincoln called
it “a rebuke and a stumbling-block
to tyranny and oppression.” It
continues to inspire people around
the world to fight for freedom and
equality.
