Daniel Hummel and Moira Coulthard would like to invite all of you to attend their wedding ceremony on Saturday, 6 August, 2011 at 2 in the afternoon.  They hope to see you all there as they start their new lives together!

We pray for God to give comfort and grace to Melody, Blake, Breanna, Bethany, Ron, Tina, Tim, Mandy, Eric, Johanna K., Mike and Corinne F., and Corrie H. in the loss of Dan.

Please pray for Alice Kooy (Delbert’s Mom).  She is experiencing a lot of back pain and has been confined to bed for a number of weeks.

Brian K. continues to recover.

Henny v.F. recovers from a fall.  Continue to pray that God will heal her wrist.

Please pray for travelling mercies and a time of spiritual nourishment and fellowship for the boys & counselors attending the Cadet Camporee in Michigan; their camp starts this Wednesday.

Arlyn J. resides at a group home.  Physical therapy has ceased.  Pray for strength to walk that he might return home.

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.
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.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

From Council: At the last council meeting, we were given the honor and privilege to hear an account of the faith and beliefs from some of our youth. Therefore council invites you to hear their declaration of this faith on August 7^th. Joining us as communicant members will be Lindsay Hummel, Kim Pastink, Dylan Postman, Amelia Slomp, and Elina Van der Kooij.

Attention all youth, children & their parents: The large basement room (with the concrete flooring) is being used to store the decorating props for VBS until we can put them away. We are asking if you could please refrain from entering that room after church.

LADIES, are you willing to help make a meal for a shut-in or someone in need? Can you help if a need arises for a luncheon or funeral etc.? We could use your help. There will be a sign up sheet (in the near future) for all those willing to help out in this area of ministry. Thank you for your willingness to help.

FOOD BANK: This week, the food bank is in need of Peanut Butter. Thank You!

Fairbooth Ministry - The evangelism committee is looking for some volunteers for the fairbooth ministry this year. Our day is Wednesday, August 24 and we will need four groups of 2 people to man the booth at Whoop Up Days. Tickets to get in and parking will be paid for. Please contact Marcel Busz or Dirk Vanderkooij if you are interested.

Jamboree Days - The evangelism committee is looking for some volunteers to be the hosts for the Old Church at Jamboree Days in Picture Butte. We are looking for two groups of 2 to answer questions and be friendly to the visitors. The date is Aug 20 from 1-3 and 3-5. Please contact Marcel Busz

GROUNDWORK - The One, Fractured Church: Many critics of the church point out that the “one” church isn’t really one; it’s fractured beyond belief. If that’s true, what does it mean to speak of the unity of the church? Special guest Peter Borgdorff joins the conversation to discuss Ephesians 4 and what it means to confess that the church is “one.” Join the Aug. 7 Groundwork discussion. Find a local radio station or listen online at www.GroundworkOnline.com.
