Camp Scholarship: We have depleted our Camp Scholarship funds. This is great news! If you are able to give above and beyond your regular giving to add to Camp Scholarships it would be greatly appreciated.

Praise Service: June begins “summer mode” for many families, so we will begin a summer schedule for many ministry areas. Sundays will have our 9am worship service followed by 10:15am Adult Sunday School. Wednesday night Praise Service will happen monthly in the summer. The dates will be June 13th, July 11th, and August 14th at 6:30pm. Each Praise Service during the summer will have communion. We will transition back to the full schedule in September. Look for more information later in the summer.

Hymn Sing: We w ill be having a hymn sing on June 24th at 2pm. Come join us for a wonderful time of singing! We will have fellowship time with snacks and lemonade afterwards.

Cambodia Pigs

One in eight people in the developing world do not have enough to eat- that’s more than twice the population of the United States. Many rural farmers work day and night but are still unable to

grow enough food to feed their own families, much less sell for additional income. With the extra income

provided by the sale of fattened pigs at market, children will have steady meals, improved health, go

to school and have hope for the future. More importantly, many families will become self-sufficient.

Our goal is to raise $550 for 10 Pigs! So far we have bought 9 pigs!
