In celebration of the 2016 Summer Bible Camp.
We are thankful for the continued show of love, support and growth of our ministry
by the Holman family and community.
We have close to 100 campers and counselors attending this year’s camp.
To God be the Glory!
Our camp theme is “No Fear: Courage in Christ.”
“For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of sound mind.”
2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)
1945-2016
FROM FAITHFULNESS to FRUITFULNESS:
Making a Commitment to Improvement through Alignment and Involvement
"Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who has promised is faithful.
And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds,
not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another,
and all the more as you see the Day approaching" (Hebrews 10:23-25).

POWERFUL PRAYER
FOR HEALING
Jesus,
With just one touch
from your Almighty creative hand,
You have healed the sick
and raised the dead.
How amazing is your Lordship
over all the earth,
How powerful is your redeeming love.
How great was your sacrifice to go
before us and bring forgiveness and
hope.
By your stripes I ask for healing.
Standing within your reign and rule
I ask for restoration.
May life and wellness grow in fullness
until it overflows.
LET US PRAY FOR THE BEREAVED

ReadLead
Holman is grateful to have had the opportunity
to host Freedom School for the third summer.
In partnership with ReadLead, we facilitated the
program over the past 5 weeks and will culminate
this week.
“The program builds our students’ self-esteem,
increases their love of reading and introduces
them to various activities not provided by the
traditional school system. In six weeks of learning,
scholars will read over 80 books that are
developmentally appropriate, reflect children’s own
images, relate their authentic history, culture, and
heritage through the eyes of children, introduce
children to adults and children who make a
difference in the lives of others, offer
encouragement to become involved in community
service, help children explore fundamental issues
related to self-esteem and expand their capacity to
dream and to believe they can make their dreams
reality.
“Literacy is recognized as a critical building
block for success in school and in life, and
summer learning loss in reading has been
identified as a primary source of the widening
achievement gap between lower- and higherincome children and youth. Summer learning loss
is defined as a loss in academic skills and
knowledge over the course of summer vacation.
Research studies have shown that low income
students generally lose approximately two months
of reading achievement during this time.
“For some children, summertime is full of
opportunity: camp, visits to museums, parks, and
libraries; and access to a variety of fun and
enriching activities. But for many low-income
children, the reality of summer looks nothing like
this ideal. When the school doors close for the
summer, too many children are set loose to play
on the streets unsupervised or, because of safety
concerns, are forced to stay indoors, isolated and
lonely. Instead, let’s give them a freedom schools
experience this summer.”
Our thanks to all for your support of this
program through your prayers, gifts and
service.

A NIGHT OUT FOR SAFETY
AND LIBERATION
Every year 30 million Americans participate in the annual
“Night Out for Safety” sponsored by law enforcement and
neighborhood watch groups. Their premise: “Be afraid.
Be very afraid.” But what if what you are afraid of is law
enforcement itself?
This year Justice Not Jails and the Interfaith Movement for
Human Integrity invite the community to come together for a
different kind of conversation about what real public safety
looks like: public safety based on respect and on access to
good schools, good jobs, and good services in neighborhoods
that are over-policed but under-resourced in every other way.
We in Los Angeles will be joining with concerned
community members in 15 other major U.S. cities that will
also be holding events on Aug. 2 related to the Night Out for
Safety & Liberation. The Ella Baker Center and the Center for
Community Change are the main national sponsors.
Our event at Ward AME Church will not have invited
speakers. Instead, we will work in small conversation circles
and then come together at the end for a moment of
commitment and a moment of remembrance for all those who
have suffered and died under our current broken system
of policing.

SCRIPTURE REFLECTION
Worship Celebration
Did you ever have to reset
your cell phone? Whenever you
have to reset your cell phone,
there are both risks and
opportunities involved. Resetting
your phone can be a traumatic
and
anxious
experience.
However, resetting your cell
phone can also bring about new
possibilities.
However
anxious
and
traumatic, God always stands
ready to reset your life for new
possibilities. Today's text invites
you to realize that God's desire
for you is to accomplish "greater
works than these." When you are
open and willing to embrace
Jesus as "...the way, and the
truth, and the life," you can be
reset for greater, significant, and
more impactful works.
