Announcements for July 11th, 2010

~ The Keats Camps Summer Schedule is posted on the bulletin board. This is a CBWC camp that is reaching out to Vancouver Island while Sylvan Acres Camp is undergoing changes

~ Carey Theological College will be offering courses in Kelowna on an ongoing basis starting this fall. Carey Theological College and Taylor College in Edmonton are working together on this endeavour.

~ SERVE provides an opportunity for youth from across all Canadian Baptist churches to join together to serve a community in Western Canada. This short mission trip gives youth a chance to meet each other, form friendships and make a difference. This year, our youth will go to Flin Flon, a community of 6,000 in Northern Manitoba to paint, clean parks, do environmental projects and generally do whatever needs to be done. SERVE helps teens realize they can make a difference right here in Canada. It makes a statement that our own communities matter. This outstanding ministry has an extensive history with our teens, churches and outreach to the places they have visited. Much good work has been done. Over the last five years, 45 out of our 170 churches and over 650 teens and their leaders have been involved with the SERVE/BWA summer project. Great community has been experienced and grown amongst them.

~ The July BC Christian News is available today on the literature table in the foyer.

~ Ladies, there are containers and other items in the kitchen, left over the Strawberry Tea. Please take a look to see if any belong to you and take them home to avoid clutter. Thank you.
