| Prayer and Fasting This week we will celebrate the 249th birthday of the United States of America. Please join us this Wednesday, July 2 to fast and pray for our nation, and especially our leaders and the American people to seek after the Lord.
“Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.” Proverbs 14:34 |
| Lakefront Usage Please note that Quest Leadership are taking their Lifeguard Class Wednesday–Saturday this week; their training times will overlap the Lakefront Usage Schedule, but it is helpful for other swimmers to be around when receiving this lifeguard training. Please continue to use the lakefront as usual. |
| Battalion Welcome Party On Saturday, July 5, we are doing a cookout at the lake to celebrate Independence Day. Everyone is invited to join us for dinner (scheduled for 5:30) to help welcome the new Battalion to campus. You can either RSVP for the meal through Campus News (RSVPs due by end of day Wednesday), or bring your own food and join the party. |
| Register for Sound Foundations Sound Foundations is offering exciting music opportunities for staff! If you're interested, check out these special staff details and register by Monday, July 7! |
| Welcome Baby Ellen! Jesse and Katy welcomed Ellen Carol Boulden this past Monday, June 23 at 10:33 PM. She weighed 8 lbs and measures 20 3/4 inches long. Her name is a combination of Jesse and Katy's mother's names—Ellen means shining light and Carol means song of joy.
May her life be a song of joy that points others to the Light! "Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! And let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving, and tell of his deeds in songs of joy!" Psalm 107:21-22
|
| Welcome Baby Elena! Matthew and SaraLyn welcomed Elena Mae Kientz on Sunday, June 29 at 2:49 PM. She weighed 7 lbs and measures 20 inches long.
Elena means "Shining Light" and Mae (Matthew's Grandma's middle name) means "Beloved." Our beloved, shining light. We pray that the light of Christ will shine through her life pointing others to Him. "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." John 1:5 |
| Bleeding Control Classes Uncontrolled bleeding is one of the leading causes of preventable trauma deaths and The Stop the Bleed program aims to equip citizens with the knowledge, skills and equipment to help save a life until advanced care is available.
Class Dates:
Stop the Bleed-Basic - July 8
Stop the Bleed-Basic - July 9
Stop the Bleed-Advanced - July 10
Each class will be approximately 4 hours in length, and will be held in the afternoons from 1:15pm to 5:15pm. July 8 and 9 will be identical basic level classes, followed by an advanced class July 10 those interested in going more in-depth. Please contact Samuel Kane if you'd like to attend! There is no cost to participate, but having a count of interested persons will help to account for potential class size. |
