HABITAT FOR HUMANITY: Are you interested in a workday at the Habitat for Humanity site in Bellingham? We'd like to put together a group from Bethel on Saturday July 6th. Any skill level - ages 14 to adult are welcome to join in! All tools and supplies are provided. Not feeling up to navigating the work site? We also need a few people to prepare and serve lunch. Have questions? Want to RSVP? Call or text Michael and Lea TerBeek.
LETTERS APPRECIATED: Ryan Vandenberg is in boot camp in South Carolina for the summer. Because some have asked (or anyone feels led) to send Ryan a note of encouragement, here are a few stipulations:
1. Only white or off-white envelopes. Nothing but the address and return address on the outside of the envelope.
2. Nothing but a note or card … no bulky items and nothing with glitter.
3. Write to him anytime between now and July 18, but no later.
4. Be encouraging! Send jokes or verses! Share news … letters are huge for keeping morale up.
5. His address is in the printed bulletin.
Any questions, talk to Amy or Scott. Thank you so much!
COMMUNITY BULLETIN: Beginning today the community bulletin will not be in your mailbox but will be on the shelves in the narthex.
MISSIONARY HOUSING NEEDED: Pastor Steve and Sandy Frieswick, missionaries we support in Toronto, will be in the area in September and October and need a place to stay for five weeks. They are happy to pay towards rent or expenses. If you are able to help please ask Sherry Vos for more information.
THANK YOU: Thank you for your gift of $248.50 on April 19 and $2,500 on May 11. We greatly appreciate your support. ~ Henry D. Kok, Project Hope and New Way Ministries
