LIFETREE CAFÉ WEDNESDAY NIGHT AT 6:30 PM: Wednesday’s program titled, “How to Spot a Liar: Secrets From a Former FBI Agent,” features a filmed interview with FBI counterintelligence officer John Schafer.

As a behavioral analyst for the FBI’s National Security Division, Schafer developed deception-detection techniques that are now widely used by intelligence and law enforcement agencies. In his interview, Schafer shares key indicators that signal when someone is lying. “There are certain signs-verbal and nonverbal-that indicate lying,” says Schafer. “If you lie to me, I’ll catch you.”

THE NEXT NORTH AMERICAN LUTHERAN CHURCH CONVOCATION will be held this August in Dallas, TX. The dates are: Wednesday August 12 through Friday, August 14th. The theme is a very timely theme: Martyr, Life-giving Witness; and is based on Acts 26:16-18. Many of our brothers and sisters in the faith are facing martyrdom for the Name of Jesus; this will be a time to hear their witness, to keep them in prayer, and to be strengthened in faith as the world becomes increasingly hostile to the message of Jesus. This is also the business meeting of the NALC. We need a voting delegate to attend. If you would like to attend, or would like more information, please contact Pastor Oman.

ATTENDANCE for Sunday, June 14th was 114 and total offering was $5,267.00.
