Joseph Kunert would like to let you know what God is doing in his life this summer and how you can play an important role. He has joined the summer staff at Twin Lakes Bible Camp. He is excited to see God work in amazing ways in his life and in the lives of the campers. You can help Joseph in two ways. The first is to pray for God to use him for His glory and pray for the kids. The second is financially. The Camp Board will allow paid staff members to independently raise missionary support to supplement their wages. Because the Board has established a maximum pay for their staff and will exercise control over any and all gifts, your contributions are fully tax deductible. Any gifts that exceed the maximum pay will go to the general operations or as designated by the Board. Please make checks to Twin Lakes Bible Camp and be sure to not Missionary Support Joseph Kunert in the memo section. You can find out more about the Camp by visiting www.twinlakesbiblecamp.com or by following their Facebook page, Twin Lakes Bible Camp. Please see Joseph s letter on the bulletin board in the Narthex. Holly Stockdale and Destiny Saathoff are the new head coaches of the Humboldt Swim Team. This year they came up with an idea to unify the team and bring them to a more current state. To become more professional their goal is to have all swimmers eleven and older purchase a team swimsuit. Also, the lane lines are over ten years old and are breaking so it is necessary to purchase new ones. The swim team does not have the funding so a sponsorship program called Swim Boosters has been created. Swim Boosters will include companies, families, and individuals who would like to sponsor the Humboldt Swim Team. Boosters are asked to donate the amount of money that they feel is suitable. Companies, families or individuals who choose to become a booster will be advertised on a poster at their home swim meets; if they choose. Sponsorships will be renewed annually. Please see Holly and Destiny s letter on the bulletin board in the Narthex. It s getting to be that time again!
