For Your Notes
When Promised Brooks Dry Up
Rev. Robert Dulin, Jr.
I Kings 17:1-10a
17 Now Elijah, who was from Tishbe in Gilead, told King Ahab, “As
surely as the LORD, the God of Israel, lives—the God I serve—there
will be no dew or rain during the next few years until I give the
word!”
2
3
Then the LORD said to Elijah, “Go to the east and hide by Kerith
4
Brook, near where it enters the Jordan River. Drink from the
brook and eat what the ravens bring you, for I have commanded
them to bring you food.”

So Elijah did as the LORD told him and camped beside Kerith
6
Brook, east of the Jordan. The ravens brought him bread and
meat each morning and evening, and he drank from the brook.
7
But after a while the brook dried up, for there was no rainfall
anywhere in the land.

Then the LORD said to Elijah, “Go and live in the village of
Zarephath, near the city of Sidon. I have instructed a widow there
to feed you.”

From classic rock 'n 'roll to fine cuisine, the Greater Farmington
Founders Festival is the can’t-miss event!
A favorite in Southeast Michigan, the Farmington Founders Festival
began as a tribute to the city’s unique Quaker heritage that
thousands of people now know as a four-day weekend celebration.
Formerly the Farmington Board of Commerce, the Greater
Farmington Area Chamber of Commerce has planned and
organized every year since 1965 with the spirit of festival fireworks.
(You'll see the real thing on Saturday night, July 18th!) Today the
festival is an exciting mix of community traditions, cultural trends,
great food, music and fun.
Festival Faves
 Streets will be lined with people to see the colorful
Farmington Founders Festival Parade
 Shop one-of-a-kind items at the Crafters Marketplace
 Meet up with friends and neighbors
 Games, face painting and crafts galore for kids in the Meijer
