SAVEONE: A GUIDE TO EMOTIONAL HEALING AFTER ABORTION
On July 19, SunRise will begin a 12-week abortion recovery program. Save One is a Biblically-based study created
for those who have suffered in silence after an abortion. It is geared to help individuals reclaim and restore
their peace of mind and self-worth. If you've experienced an abortion, Save One can provide the tools necessary to
rebuild your life. It can help you gain control of your emotions, free yourself of guilt, renew your mind, and
experience how far God's grace truly extends. It is a journey to emotional, physical, and spiritual healing.
Please join us weekly beginning July 19th for Save One. Our meeting time and place will be confidential. For
more information, contact Sharon Bass at: 978-3575, or at sbass@sunrisefamily.org.

player. Players serve on one of two rotating teams that serve in worship
two weekends per month. Please contact Rochelle Collette, Worship Arts Leader

LIFT YOUR HEARTS IN PRAYER
The Staff and Prayer Team would love to have our Prayer Room filled during the services.
Prayer is a special connection we have with God which enriches all aspects of spiritual
life. For worship participants it is especially meaningful to know that the service and
everyone in attendance is being blanketed with prayer. A willing heart and the ability
to carry on a conversation with our Lord is all that is required. Please contact Pastor
Tammy at 978-2727 if you would like to serve in this area of ministry.
HELP RAISE MONEY FOR HABITAT!
At the McCluer Entrance to SunRise, you will notice a clothing dropbox! If you have clothing
or shoes that you would like to donate, please put them in plastic bags and place them in the box.
Proceeds will go to fund the Habitat for Humanity house that SunRise will be helping with in 2007.
If you would like more information about Habitat for Humanity, contact Walt Myers: (636) 265-9939.
