Sunday Paper
Godflix: The Imitation Game
One of my favorite JW-isms is “God doesn’t play
games.” This powerful movie about the life of
WWII code-breaker Alan Turing made me think
maybe God does play a game, a very different
game and plays it wholeheartedly. Not only are
we all invited to play, but it is urgent that we do
so. What if we stopped playing our imitation
games and went all in on the game we are made
for? Glad you’re here! ~Melissa
Thanks to Melissa Lock, our amazing Community
Engagement guru, for giving the message today!
What to expect today...
Have a cup of coffee and take a seat.

Go and be Jacob’s Well!
Also today…
We’re glad you’re here, Summer with Jacob's Well is a great chance to experience and learn to
worship together as a family...be sure to check out the kids table! Even if your kids don't
'behave' perfectly - it's ok. Jacob's Well is a welcoming place for kids and families to learn!
Younger kids may need a little extra wiggle room - that's why The Wiggle Room is open for kids
6mo-preschool.
Coming Up and More...
Next Sunday...Godflix: Selma
Selma is the story of a movement of people, led by Martin Luther King Jr.,
who believed that love and dignity is not just for some. Through the
discipline of nonviolence, the stories of liberation and love in the Bible, and a
patient and active hope, mountains were moved. How can we as Jacob's Well
keep moving those mountains of racism and misunderstanding? Let's work at
it together.
Get to Know Jacob’s Well—August 19
New to Jacob’s Well? Been around a while and have questions or want to connect
more? This is a great chance to get to know people, hear our story and ask some
questions. We’ll explore some ideas like “Why church? Why Jacob’s Well? How does
this work?” Plus…Mexican brownies and carrot cake! Join us on Wednesday, August
19 @ 7:00pm. More at www.jacobs-well.net/gettoknow/.
End of Summer Giving
August 31 ends our fiscal year and summer is always a slow time for giving. As has
often happened at this time of year, giving has fallen behind our necessary expenditures
by several $1000. If you have fallen behind on your giving or can make a special gift it
will truly help us stay a strong and healthy community.
Jacob's Well makes a difference in people's lives. 25 Middle School students at camp are
a sign of it. 16 High School youth & leaders in Brooklyn, NY providing kids programming
in neighborhood parks is too. So are the life changing experiences happening in
GroupLife, through our financial coaches and many other ways. Your giving helps make
these things happen.
Scan & Give
Thanks for considering how you are called to support JW financially. Together we make God's love happen!
The Imitation Game:

Tim Frantzich, our special musical guest! Tim Frantzich,
www.BrotherTimothy.net, has created music that people
love to be stretched by for years. His homegrown, bluegrass, folksy approach to bringing crowds of people into
the experience has been his hallmark while working with
Robert Bly or singing on A Prairie Home Companion.
Today, Tim’s deep and earthy perspective on faith mixes with our Jacob’s
Well-i-ness. It’ll be a good mix that just might change the world.
