Register for Sound Foundations
Sound Foundations is offering exciting music opportunities for staff. If you're interested, register online or email (music@iblp.org) by TODAY, Monday, July 7. 
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 to help save a life until advanced care is available. If you'd like to sign up for these free classes starting TOMORROW (July 8–10), please contact Samuel Kane ASAP.
Water Conservation Notice 
We have entered a season of unusually high water usage on campus, when our potable water supply struggles to keep up. While we're grateful that Quest and Sound Foundations will be joining us, the demand for potable water will only increase. To avoid relying on costly Pritchett water, we ask everyone to be mindful and conserve water wherever possible.

If you need to water gardens or grass, please do so mindfully. Faculty row irrigation should be operational soon, but until then, please help preserve both water and ministry resources.

Also, please report any possible signs of leaks (e.g., unexpected patches of green grass). Thank you for your support and understanding!
Thursday Bible Study
The Bible Study hosted at the Warners recommences this Thursday at 7:15 PM. Hope you can join us!  
Boulden Meal Train
Jesse and Katy welcomed Ellen Carol Boulden on Monday, June 23. If you'd like to support Jesse and Katy with a meal during this time, you can do that here.
Black Eyed Peas
Black eye peas are available for staff! Feel free to pick your own in the fields. $5 per five-gallon bucket or a donation toward the Garden Plot project. Payments can be dropped off at the west Greenhouse. Contact Eric Waller (903-331-3358) with further questions.
Quest Update | Lt. O'Neal
Quest Leadership training is going well. The rest of the leaders are scheduled to arrive this week and the students come next Monday. Please keep in mind that the Basic Training area is completely off limits to anyone outside of Quest or facilities staff, and that the canoes at the lake need to remain locked until August 8. Families are welcome to use the canoes, but please keep them locked whenever they are not in use. Contact Operations for the lock codes.
Battalion Update | Capt. Winkler
This week, the Battalion is deployed to Melbourne, Arkansas, to assist with cleanup after a tornado that went through about a month ago. They left at 3 am today and will be in Arkansas working through Wednesday, late afternoon. Please pray for safety as they do extensive sawyer work over the next few days.
