ANNOUNCEMENTS

A massive “THANK YOU” to all those who served in VBS this year!

VBS MISSION OF THE WEEK: QUEBEC’S CHILDREN! The Missionaries: David and Kristy Kelly have five children and serve at the Sherbrooke campus of Word of Life (Parole de Vie) Bible Institute in French-speaking Quebec. Quebec is known as the “largest unreached

people group in North America”! They teach Bible classes as well as French to those desiring to serve in the mission field. The Project: Many have grown up not going to church and don’t know who Jesus is. Word of Life organizes summer camps for local children to come to learn about Jesus, hear the gospel message and, of course, have fun. The Numbers: Cost for 1 Child to go to camp: $150.00.

Family Fun Day is Sunday (7/16)!! Following the 10:30 service, everyone is invited to enjoy hotdogs and hamburgers, a slip-n-slide, dunk tank, a Little’s splash area, crafts, corn hole, and MORE! No cost! Volleyball & kickball games start at 12 & 12:15pm.
