Announcements for May 9th, 2010

~ Adult Sunday School happens at 10:00 a.m. Everyone is welcome.

~ Elk Lake Baptist Church wishes to hire a part time youth leader (10 hours per month) for a group of early teens and nearly teens that are eager to be part of a youth group experience.

~ The CBWC Gathering 2010 and BC and Yukon Region Assembly 2010 will be held jointly in Vancouver, July 2-5, 2010. If you would like to be a delegate, please speak to Greg Hatton or Les Biggs as soon as possible. See Literature Table for brochures.

~ Today is Solidarity Sunday. On this special day, we ask that all Canadian Baptists give a minimum of one or two Toonies to help support Rwanda. One small sacrifice. One huge impact, when multiplied together. Last year, churches across Canada raised over $40,000 for our brothers and sisters in Indonesia! We hope to exceed that amount this year. Anyone wishing a receipt for their donation should use the envelope provided and put their name or envelope number on the outside.

~ Evangelism and Transformation in a Secular Society Conference with Brian McLaren and Steve Bell will be on May 28th- 29th, 2010, at Christ Church Cathedral. There will be a Concert with Steve Bell on Saturday evening, May 29th. See the Bulletin Board for more information.

~ Do you have some 3 ply yarn that you will likely never use? You are invited to donate it for a good purpose – to create quilts/blankets for women who are in distress. Please speak to Yvonne Mayhew if you have some yarn you could donate.

***Reminder***
