“Sending a Kid to Bayside”
We need your help. The cost per camper is steep: $280.00. And we have more requests than
budgeted money. If you would like to
help defray the cost of sending a child to camp, please mark your donations
“Bayside Camper” and place them in the offering plate. Thank you to those who
have already contributed to this worthy cause.
Upcoming Events
Please be sure to check the bulletin board for upcoming
events being held to welcome Jeff and Deann Carter who are home for the
summer. The Carters are our CBM
partners and they will be sharing their missions in Prague.

Prayer Card
Please be in prayer for Krista-Lee Bates who has begun her
summer work as Daily Vacation Bible School Coordinator for the United Baptist
Woman’s Missionary Union. Krista-Lee is
a member of our congregation and you are invited to pick up a prayer card,
located in the foyer, which outlines her itinerary for the summer.
Prayer Link
This Wednesday is Canada Day. Please pray for the leaders
of our provinces and of our country as they wrestle with social and moral
issues. Pray that they will seek wisdom from God as they carry out the duties
of their respective offices. Pray also for leaders in the churches across our
Convention as they amiably participate in public dialogue through the grace and
Spirit of God.
Thank You To Lynn Sharam

is the last Sunday that Lynn Sharam serves as our interim organist and choir
director. She has worked tirelessly over the past 10 months to sustain and

thanks for a job well done, and wish her a restful and relaxing summer.

“How Shall We
Then Live?”
The Church
has perhaps never faced the significant challenge that it does today with the
incoming, changing and emerging culture around us. On Sept 26 at the Holiday
Inn in Dartmouth, from 9 am to 3 pm, an important conference will be held. “Integration Of Faith Into Life. The three guest speakers, Drs. Craig
Evans, Bryan Hagerman, and Andrew MacRae, are all experts in the topic being
presented. The hope is that
participants will receive the tools necessary to know how to: a) engage the
culture
b) to
integrate the key essentials of faith into everyday life and practice. Please
go to the conference Website for more details. howshallwethenlive.ca
