Celebration over the 4th!


Good afternoon Celebration! It was a good time away for the Eenigenburgs and I can honestly say that I looked forward to seeing everyone again. I think that is the sign of a good vacation!

Here are some important notes for the week:

1. Care Teams - In order to better meet the needs of the people at Celebration, we have made the following groups that the elders will serve as leaders. The Care Teams are made by last names:
A-C = Susan DeBoer
D-K = Marc Baird
L-R = Doug Bergman
S-Z = Sue Vredevoogd
Contact your elder or Pastor Matt if you have any questions.

2. Pulpit Swap on July 14 & August 11 - We have made plans to worship with 2 Timothy Church on Getty Street. Pastor Matt will leave after our worship service on Sunday, July 14 to preach at 2 Timothy and Reverend Bass and his congregation will visit Celebration on August 11. Everyone is welcome to be part of the service on the 14th.

3. FAITH Unfolded Series - "Theology doesn't divide churches; people divide churches."  Over the next few weeks we are going to dig into some foundational Biblical truths that shape our understanding of God, our perspective of ourselves, and our interactions with the people around us.  CAUTION: You may be invited to actually use your brains and think at church the next few weeks!  

4. Layette Ministry - Next Tuesday, July 9th at 10 am we will put together layettes for new moms. We are in need of items which include: wipes, baby lotion and wash, powder and diapers. Pick up some of these items and bring them to church on Sunday so we can get them packed up on Tuesday!

5. Prayers:
- For Sue DeBoer's Granddaughter Audrey's white blood count is up dramatically!
- For Sue Vredevoogd's brother in law has 5 bypass surgery today.
- For Doug Bergman's brother had surgery and it went well but there is more surgeries coming for him.
- For Doug's son Rob who has just graduated with his MA in Social Work!
- For the title insurance to be resolved which is the last hurdle in the loan process. Pray that it goes smoothly!
- For Vicky Pratt is looking for peace and resolution to the troubles in her life.
- For Mike Straley continues to recover from surgery.
- For the many broken marriages and relationships all around us that need healing.
- For Jena as she is struggling right now in her placement.
- For the Meyer family as they are facing some challenges and changes in their household. 
- For Jenny Merritt's father as he battles cancer.
- For family members who are on our hearts: Kyle, Chelsea, Mark, and Billy.
- For Duane Shultz's sister-in-law Jodi she was just diagnosed with colon cancer.
- For our nation, our soldiers and our leaders as we celebrate July 4th.
