YF + C&Y Worker appreciation night this Friday (17th)

Thanks for all those who participated in the gospel skit, A/V tech, and service for the 'indoor' worship service on Sunday. The Lord ministered to me throughout the service and spoke through the worship, skit, everyone who served behind the scenes, preparation, sharing and the fellowship lunch outdoors. Thanks for participating in the Relay for Life last Friday, uncle Eric mentioned that a significant amount was raised this year through fundraising and the snacks! It was a good time of fellowship with meaningful conversations and prayer. On Sunday, we shared about the wonderful answer to prayer that unfolded before all who were present. What a privilege we have to be the body of Christ and support one another as a family. Please continue to pray for Pastor Cal and his family during this difficult time with his family.

This Friday (17th), please join us in the Lord's Garden (at 118) to honor our C&Y volunteers for an appreciation night. Please arrive slightly earlier than usual (7:00pm). Our appreciation night will begin with supper for the children and youth volunteers earlier in the evening. Take a break from your exam studies to join us for a fellowship time of games, sharing/encouragement and food. In attendance will be some of the uncles and aunties who have ministered to you since you were in children's programs like FKC :) This will be a great time for YF to have fun with these loving brothers/sisters who have invested into children and youth ministry, to discover how important they see this ministry and enjoy the outdoors. C&Y ministry could not run as it does without the loving support of amazing adult volunteers!

This Sunday (19th), we will be encouraged by the devotions that YF peers have prepared for the upcoming mission trip. They have prepared Bible studies that they will share at Ouje.

Following Sunday school (19th) there will be a Ouje team meeting for prayer and updates, also the recipe book is looking to be finalized ASAP, nag for those recipes one last time :) Vehicles/drivers/adults are confirmed/booked, Bibles have been donated, praying and fasting chain will set up, messages and recipe book are coming along nicely, we need to be faithful in the remaining preparations for crafts, games, prizes, worship, devos etc.

If you would like to be baptized at our annual summer picnic, let me know as soon as possible

Remember to book your calendars for August 15th - 19th Discipleship Week. As we do each year, we will have a few community service opportunities lined up as well as a comprehensive look into Biblical manhood and womanhood. How we can grow as godly men and women of faith.

Let us know how we can be praying for you guys and if you'd like to catch up!

See you all on Friday!
