This week we enjoyed a wonderful program and lunch brought by Linda C. The food table was decorated with plants and a large mirror - we were each encouraged to look in the mirror and reflect on God's love for us as we served ourselves lunch. What a wonderful challenge, and so beautifully presented. Thank you, Linda!
The Home League is planning a trip to Mt. St. Helens for its next meeting. Please meet at the Corps at 10:00 am, sharp, for this fantastic opportunity! You will need to bring $8.00 if you would like to go into the observatory, and everyone will want to bring a sack lunch. We hope to have you join us!
Join us at 10:00 am each week for fun, fellowship, and the support of other women!
Summer Day Camp
The Day Camp spent the morning swimming at the Jim Parsley Center. Perfect timing - it was one of our hottest days in a while, at more that 90 degrees. There's no better way to beat the heat than swimming! After swimming, all of the kids went to the park for games and a picnic lunch. It was a great day!
This week the Day Camp will stay on site doing troop badge work, recreation, crafts, and the computer station. Don't miss out on another fun week!
Each Wednesday this summer we do something different.....come at 10:30am to check it out!
Sunday School
Today Sunday School was full, with some of the kids even bringing visitors!
The teen Sunday School class and Corps Cadets have combined for creative lessons this summer, which has been fun for everyone. It won't be long before the Fall is here, and we will be adding a new class - a Young Adult class led by Captain Ron! We look forward to offering something to our young adults that will minister to them and focus on their Spiritual needs.
We invite YOU to join us, every Sunday, at 9:15 am for Sunday School Assembly, and classes at 9:30 am.....we have classes for all ages, including adults!

Message
This week we started a three week study of the book of Jude. It starts by explaining that we need to be prepared for battle.
Jude vv. 1-2 introduces us to the author, and then describes who these 'Battle Assignments' are directed to, "To those who have been called, who are loved by God the Father and kept by Jesus Christ."
Jude v. 3- Is the "Call to Arms". Note that Jude really wanted to write an encouraging letter about the salvation they shared. But instead he reminds his readers (that includes us) to "contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints."
Jude v. 4 decribes the enemy. They are godless and deceitful, convincing not just the unbelievers, but infiltrating the ranks of believers and seperating them from the Truth.
Jude vv. 5-7 tells us God promises victory over the troubles that come against us. And, in vivid detail, tells us of the apostate's fate for his godless, deceitful, unrepentant ways.
It is in the this victory we should "stand firm everyone" and "rest our cause upon His Holy Word".
Rouse then soldier, rally round the banner!
Ready, steady, pass the word along;
Onward, forward, shout aloud Hosanna!
Christ is Capatin of the mighty throng.
