Congregational Survey (AM service)

Sunday, June 29th, 11AM

Church Growth Services presents the Pre-

Campaign Assessment Report. This report

is based upon information gathered at our

input forums (May 18th) and the

congregational survey (June 8th).

Following June 29th…

If the Church Growth Services Pre-

Campaign Assessment Report is positive

(we get a green light and are encouraged

to proceed with a three year capital

campaign), we will have an important

congregational vote to decide whether to

enter into such a campaign. If the vote is a

strong “yes”, our church’s capital

campaign will be implemented this Fall

(2014). Training and preparation will

precede a tentative “Commitment

Sunday” on Sunday, November 16 or

23rd. Please be in prayer!

Help is needed in several areas. If you are able to help in any capacity,

please see Carol Peterson, ASAP.

Missionary of the Month

Mark and Carol Kerk HCJB Global Technology Center

Elkhart, Indiana Mark and Carol have served in the broadcast ministry of HCJB Global, now Reach Beyond, for 32 years. After serving eight years in international shortwave transmitter operations in Ecuador, they relocated to the Technology Center here in Elkhart in 1991. Mark has filled a variety of roles including information technology, computer assisted drafting, FM radio equipment preparation and testing, building construction projects and personnel administration. Currently, Mark provides technical support for the seven large 100,000 watt shortwave transmitters in use around the world. Carol assists in the preparation of fixed-tuned solar-powered Sonset® radios for distribution to ministry partners and helps with the hospitality needs of the center. She also works part-time as a telephone triage nurse at IU Health Goshen Hospital. The Kerks have two adult children, David, married to Amanda, and Sharon, a recent law school graduate.

Prayer requests: Pray for God’s Word to work in the hearts of listeners

so that many would come to salvation. Pray for success in the final testing of the 100,000 watt

refurbished transmitter headed for Australia. Pray for the Kerks the same way you pray for yourselves

– for a strong marriage, for health and strength for their work, for spiritual vitality.

Pray for God’s direction in the lives of the Kerks’ two adult children.

Ladies Night Out: Dinner and a Play

Please sign up and pay Donna by Sunday, June 8.

From Donna...“I have seen all three "Smoke on the Mountain" productions and these are very well written, a lot of humor, and entertaining.” We will meet for dinner at 5:30 at Essenhaus and then walk across the street to

Heritage Hall for the 7:00 show.

"Wedding Belles" A delightful, funny and light-hearted full-length drama. The year is 1942 in Eufala Springs, Texas. Four garden-club ladies have met a young girl who has come to their little Texas town to marry an infantryman

before he is shipped off for World War II. Lives and friendships are thrown into turmoil as the women

impulsively decide to throw the girl an elaborate wedding in one frenzied afternoon. (Written by Ronnie Claire

Edwards and Alan Bailey… co-author of "Smoke on the Mountain".)

Grab your secret decoder ring and put on your rearview mirror glasses because this summer, your kids are heading

to the International Spy Academy where they’ll train to become special agents for the one true God!

This exciting Vacation Bible School program is filled with fun mysteries your kids will love and the Bible-based

apologetics you trust to teach them truths they won’t forget!

With International Spy Academy, your mission is to instill in your children an understanding of the one true God of the Bible they can carry with them for the rest of their lives and

share with those around them. They’ll uncover the clues that lead to the one true God who is the Creator of all and

who calls people from every tribe and nation to have fellowship with Him through His Son Jesus Christ.

Synchronize your watches for June and join us at the International Spy Academy, where your special agents will

learn to know, love, and live for the one true God!

Friends, Romans, Acts? Flipping through our children's Bible, I pointed to a picture of Jesus surrounded by his disciples and asked my daughter to explain the story in her own words. Looking at it, she said, "Mommy, this is a story about Jesus. And here are all his disciples—Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, and Romans!" —Nena Jurek, Houston, TX.
