There are Visitor Cards located in the card holders on the backs of the pews. Please fill one out for us and place it in the collection plate when it is passed. Again, we thank you for visiting with us today.
We have an Attended Nursery in the Education Building for babies up o to 2½ years old; or, if you’d like to stay with your child, an Unattended Nursery at the back of the auditorium next to the Foyer.
We have Children’s Church for children ages 2½ through 5 years in the Children’s Church Room in the Education Building. A slide will be flashed on the screen when it’s time for the children to be dismissed for that program. Toward the end of our service, the children’s teachers will bring them back to you for the closing songs.

Our week at Camp of the Hills has come and gone!
Before we thank one last group who helped us with camp cooking, we want to apologize to Ethan
Poulter for not listing his name last week with the teens who came and worked! Ethan was there
for 5 days working very hard, and it was a total slip-up on our part to have his name not listed.
Thank you, Ethan, for all your hard work with all the other teens who came!
We don’t want to neglect all the people who cooked meat and baked cookies for us at camp!
Those who cooked a total of 97 pounds of hamburger meat and 48 pounds of sausage to help
us save time while we were at camp were Pam Greene, Pam Boivie, Maxine Huddleston, Joyce
Roberts, Laura Young, Kerri Hensley, Tracy Moore, Inez Cobb and Connie Matthews. Audell
Shelburne grilled about 50 chicken breasts for us to use in casseroles for one meal. Maxine
Huddleston, Joyce Roberts, Laura Young, Marc Hensley, Inez Cobb, Connie Matthews, Amy
Greene, Pam Greene, Waneta Dillingham, Debra Hicks and Cathy Kneip baked cookies for
us to use as a dessert one day for lunch. We actually had so many cookies we were able to
use them also as a snack one afternoon! Again, we thank all of you for all your contributions
to our great week at camp.
The Divorce Care Garage sale was a big success last Saturday. If you came to buy or if you
contributed some items to the sale, we thank you for your support of this group.
SOJOURN ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Next Sunday: Our group who went to Sabbath Camp will be returning. Please keep them
in your prayers as they minister to these homeless kids and then will be traveling home.
NOTE: Anytime you have Praise, Illness, Travel, Bereavement, or “Other” prayer requests,
