This past week 11 ladies took a wonderful trip to Mt. St. Helens. The weather wasn't cooperative - the cloud cover was so thick you couldn't see the volcano! However, the fellowship in the van and the many sightseeing stops along the way made it all worth it.
This week we will enroll 3 new ladies, as well as begin the first of four seminars in a series, sharing information on the Social Security system. Carol P. will be leading these wonderful seminars, and we look forward to all we will learn.
Join us at 10:00 am each week for fun, fellowship, and the support of other women!
Summer Day Camp
The Day Camp stayed in house this past week, enjoying music, crafts, videos, recreation, and badge time. The Rangers (boys age 11-16) took a trip to the boat docks, the Girl Guards (girls age 11-18) made final preparations for their fundraising barbecue, and the Sunbeams (girls ages 6-10) began working on the flower study badge!
This week the kids will be travelling to the Oregon Zoo on what will be one of the last field trips of the summer. Interested in going on our final field trip on August 22nd? Contact Quinton Markham and let him know!
Sunday School
With Quinton and his family on vacation this week, Jamie S. took over leadership of the Sunday School Assembly and did a fantastic job! We had 21 delegates on their way to the Western Youth Institute visiting, and it was great to have them with us!
Sunday, September 2, we begin our new classes for the year. You won't want to miss that Sunday, because we'll be having a barbecue after Church to celebrate the new program year and to honor our Sunday School teaching staff!
This year's upcoming classes will be: Nursery (taught by Deanna M.), Grades 1-3 (taught by Richard F.), Grades 4-6 (taught by Dora S.), Teens (team taught by Mark S. and Stephanie O.), Corps Cadets (our teen Bible and Leadership Training Course taught by Quinton M.), Young Adults (taught by Capt. Ron), and Adults (taught by Carol P.)
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!
Sunday Worship
Message
This week we entered into week two of a three week study of the book of Jude.
Week One: Jude 1-7 told us we needed to be "Prepared for Battle". We discovered who the enemy is, the promise of victory over the enemy, but most importantly that we as believers must stand firm in the battle we have been called to.
Week Two: Jude 8-16 gives us insight to the enemies tactics, so we can be aware. It would be easy to be deceived by these godless people. But if we are aware of "the pretender", then we can avoid his deception, and move on to a hope of Eternal Life with Jesus.
Girl Guard Barbecue
This week, after our morning worship we had a fantastic fund raising barbecue sponsored by the Girl Guard troop! More than 75 people came to support the girls, and eat FANTASTIC burgers and hot dogs grilled by Willie! Thanks to Stephanie O. for the hard work coordinating not only the menu, but for also securing some great entertainment by bringing in an up and coming music artist, Justin Klump to sing for us while we ate.
Thanks also to Dora and Linda W. who helped coordinate clean up - you are so appreciated!
