Bridal Shower: Ladies, you are invited to a Bridal Shower for Crystal S, daughter of Nick & Wendy S, 7:30 P.M., Tuesday, Aug 9 who will marry Kas Mckenzie on September 3. The shower will be in the Church Fellowship Hall. Everyone is welcome.

Brian K. reports that the staples have been removed. He continues to learn new skills and to proceed nicely with therapy.

Arlyn J. has moved to another care center where he continues physical therapy.

Harold v.d.B. will receive chemotherapy once a week for three weeks. He'll have a break for a week. Then he'll receive more chemotherapy once a week for three more weeks.

Please keep Judy v.H., Stan and Hendrika N., Kas, Henny v.F., and Henry and Alice P. in your prayers.

Kas has recovered quite well. His foot has healed well and doctors are pleased. He drives, mows the lawn, and helps out around the house. Hopefully, he'll get some prosthetic toes in the near future.

Pray for Dan K for God to bring healing either through a miracle or the work of doctors.

Continue to remember those young and old with ongoing physical, spiritual, and emotional struggles. Please keep in prayer all those who are mourning because a loved one has died. Please pray for our widows, widowers and seniors Jennie E at Blue Sky Lodge, & Corrie H at Columbia Assisted Living, and our expectant mothers.

Vacation Bible School:

--VBS is in need of Frisbees. We need about 20. If you could please label them, and we will return them to you after VBS. Thanks!

--Thank you for all the supplies that have been donated so far, they are very much appreciated.

--Thank you to all who have volunteered to help, and have helped already, to make VBS work this year.

--This year, we want as many pre-registered children as possible. The registration forms are on the VBS table in the foyer next to the library.
Please fill out any forms and place them in Vanessa's mailbox as soon as possible. You may also pre-register by emailing Vanessa at vbs@noblefordcrc.com.

Attention all youth, children & their parents: In the next 3 weeks, the large basement room (with the concrete flooring) is going to be used to
gather and assemble the decorating props for VBS. We are asking if you could please refrain from entering that room after church.
In addition, in the next week or so, the teachers are going to start decorating their rooms, which are located in the rest of the
basement (including the Sunday school room, the old nursery, & the main area).
We are asking if all the decorations & props could be handled with care and respect and, if at all possible, remain undisturbed. Thank you.

The Bible League: Cambodia has survived decades of civil war, killing fields and political upheaval. Twenty years ago there were only 50 churches in Cambodia. Today there are over 1000 in just the National Cambodian Church Network. Also in this Network, there are another 1000 cell groups that are on their way to becoming churches! There are 900 men and women waiting to be trained as church planters. The Spirit of God is moving across Cambodia. Praise the Lord! www.bibleleague.ca

Did You Know... - Did you know that through the June 2008 Statement of Apology to former students of Indian Residential Schools and the formation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Canada is taking steps to rebuild relationships with Aboriginal peoples? The Christian Reformed Church is also involved in building relationships with Aboriginal people through ministry centers in Winnipeg, Regina and Edmonton. Pray for those who work in these ministries and for those who come for worship and programs.

CRWRC - You Harvested Hope: CRWRC would like to thank all individuals and churches who contributed to our Harvest Hope campaign. Following a denial of funding from CIDA last December, CRWRC asked you to help us raise $825,000 by June 30 to sustain vital programs. As of July 4, CRWRC has received $829,109! Thank you. However, the challenge is not over. We've submitted a number of new proposals to CIDA for this next year and are awaiting word on what we will receive. Each proposal will also require that we raise 25% to match CIDA's 75% contribution. Please pray that CRWRC will receive what it needs to continue its work.
