We, as God’s people, will use our gifts and talents

to seek out and bring people to Christ,

by maturing in our faith,

by deepening our fellowship,

and by caring for people

for the honor and glory of God.

Family Trip to African Lion Safari

Saturday, June 21

A family adventure is being planned for this trip across the border to Canada’s African Lion Safari. Our plan is to leave from the church parking lot at 6:30 a.m. Every child attending must have a parent with them as we cannot take a child across the border that isn’t ours.  A full van will assure that we can share the cost of gas efficiently. The price of admission to the park is $24 for adults and $19 for children under 13 years of age. Contact Eileen Modaffari at 694-

Other bands participating are: Cloaned, Alchemy, Chris & Shaun Jones, Tim Dyer, Our Father’s Children and more.
