ANNOUNCEMENTS

Last Sunday night I announced what I planned on doing after the evening service on July 18.  Since not many people were present last Sunday night, I was advised to put an announcement in the bulletin.  Therefore, if you so desire, please read Genesis 26-50 by next Sunday night.  After the evening service, we'll meet and I'll ask some questions about those chapters.  Or you can ask me a question.  We can also discuss anything related to those chapters.  Any questions, please feel free to ask me.  Pastor Kevin

We are in need of Grade 1-6 Sunday School teachers starting in September.  Please prayerfully consider whether you would be willing to help teach.  You can always find a partner and each take half the time.  If you are able, please contact Lynda or Melinda.  Thanks!

Please join us, Monday July 12, at 7:00, for an evening of prayer for Pro-Life causes and issues.  We are located at 1805 9th Ave N.  

The Lethbridge and District Pro-Life Prayer Committee 

Campaign Life Coalition is the premiere advocate for legal and cultural change in Canada with respect to protecting human life and the family. Campaign Life Coalition is a national, non-profit organization with offices from coast-to-coast. We work tirelessly to heal the cultural insanity that leads our nation to tolerate the killing of 100,000 pre-born Canadian children every year. IF you want to begin receiving emails from them, go to www.campaignlifecoalition.com. Some of the issues they are dealing with are:

· Stop Bill-C232 in the Senate. Say NO to radicalizing the Supreme Court!—This makes it more likely that lawyers and judges from Quebec will be appointed to the Supreme Court. What's the problem with that, you ask? Quebec is the most liberal, anti-life, anti-family province in Canada. If C-232 passes, it will, in effect, radicalize the Supreme Court even more than it is already, in favour of an anti-life ideology.

Canadians need a 'Fox News North'!

· ATTENTION PRO-LIFERS! We need your help to influence a new, Canadian TV news channel in the hope it will give a voice to pro-life and pro-family issues. Rumour has it that the new channel by Montreal-based Quebecor, will target the untapped market of "small-c conservatives". This brings with it fresh hope that, finally, a Canadian news outlet might open the public square to a pro-life and pro-family voice. If true, this could change the cultural/political landscape in our nation which has been in the grip of the liberal elites who run Canada’s biased, mainstream media.

PLEASE remember your donations for the Interfaith Food Bank! The Food bank averages 600 food hampers which serves 1100-1300 people per month. Half of these people are kids. The food bank is in need of Peanut Butter. Thank you
