Sunday, August 8 is our annual Fruit & Buns Sunday, where everyone is welcomed and encouraged to stay after the morning service for lunch and fellowship at the Blue Whale, with Praise & worship to follow @ 1:00 and the second service @ 1:30 P.M. In order to cut down on costs this year due to the building project, the Worship Advisory Committee is asking that each family/single adult attending please bring one dozen prepared buns to the church basement before the morning service on Sunday, August 8. The committee hopes this will be a time of wonderful worship and fellowship as well as helping out the VBS program to be able to set up earlier on that day. Thank you in advance for your help and if you have any questions please contact Jeff Notenbomer.

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.

PRAYER REQUEST - Back to God Ministries International: Praise God for media ministries in India! Because Chandrika was a Hindu from the lowest caste in India, he never learned to read. But through a small radio he was able to listen to Christian songs and messages and learn of salvation through Jesus Christ. “Because of poverty, my children do not go to school,” he wrote, “but they love to listen to your broadcast.”

GROUNDWORK - Justice and Worship: One of our defining acts as Christians is our worship. Does Christian justice have a place in our weekly worship gatherings? If so, what might that look like? On July 25, we’ll learn what the Bible says about the intersection of justice and worship. Tune in to Groundwork - find a local radio station or listen online at www.GroundworkOnline.com.

KIDS CORNER - The Seventh Commandment: Bible News takes you to the palace of King David and teaches the truth behind the 7th commandment.

Box 5070, Burlington ON L7R3Y8 or kids@kidscorner.net for your very own Bible study.
