OVU NOTES

The Student Life Department at Ohio Valley University is seeking

sponsorship for a disc golf course on the OVU campus. The plan is

to install an 18 hole disc golf course by August this year. The course

will provide a fun, wholesome activity for our students as well as the

local community and will also utilize our gorgeous campus to show

off the natural beauty of the Mid-Ohio Valley. This course will be

open to the public and free. The course is being funded by

donations from individuals, businesses and groups on and off

campus. Each hole can be sponsored for $500. This will include

the basket, the tee pad and the 10" x 15" tee sign that will display

the donators logo and/or name if desired. We anticipate that this

course will be enjoyed by many people of all ages for many years,

and the tee sign will be a permanent fixture on display for all who

visit the course!

Before very long, the hustle and bustle of a new academic year at

Ohio Valley University will begin! The population of the Mid-Ohio

Valley will increase by several hundred energetic, optimistic young

people. We would like for you to come and meet these promising

students! Please plan to join us Monday, August 25 from 7–9 p.m.

at our OVU Expo. This is a time designed for students (especially

new students) to meet their community!

If you have good or services that you are interested in offering the

students, please e-mail michelle.carte@ovu.edu to reserve a table.

Tables are limited, and are “first come first serve”…so get yours re-

served today!!

MINISTRIES

COURAGE TO CHANGE The up-coming guest speakers for the Courage to Change

meetings on the third Thursday of the month at 7:00 July

through September are as follows: July 17, 2014 Angela

Shamblin, a Hypnotist , who will be speaking about her ex-

perience working with over-eaters, smokers and clients with

other addictions. August 21, David Schaffer MSW, LICSW,

AADC, PLLC, a Psychotherapist, Addictions Counseling Licensed

Clinical Social Worker in West Virginia and Ohio will be speaking

about our values and how they dictate our behavior and choices.

On September 17, Dina Andrews will be speaking on the Circles

program in West Virginia and Ohio, which helps people recover

from addictions and poverty and trains them to have a more

productive life. We would encourage you to support these

speakers from our area as they partner with the Courage to

Change ministry at Belpre by sharing with us the common goal

and dedication to improving the lives of people in our

community.

LOVE IN ACTION Our benevolence funds go for many different things. Some of

these are BAM, Disaster Relief, Women's Care Center,

prescriptions when needed, rent, clothes, utility bills, groceries,

and any assistance with resources that aid in a better life for

some. We also recently bought 100 Spanish bibles for a

Honduras mission trip. A special thanks goes out to Sara Barton

who spoke to the HOPE group last week and to Kay Grose who

will be speaking this week. It is always good when we can apply

Biblical stories to today's problems. LIA and the HOPE group

strive to introduce God to others. As Ron shared in his sermon,

we want all to know they are "included." It is our prayer that all

will know it does not matter where they came from. It is all

about where they are headed today. Please continue to pray

with us that lives will be changed.

The young man said to him, “All these I have kept. What do I still lack?” Jesus said to him, “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you

possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”

When the young man heard this he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.
