Royal Family featured in Sunday's Kitsap Sun
Our Royal Family Kids Camp program received front-page attention in Sunday's Kitsap Sun. Read it here.
The article highlighted the program, which assists Kitsap County children who have received care from the Department of Children and Family Services. This year, 44 children participated in the week-long camp. Highlights included horseback riding, a fishing derby and a birthday party for the campers. Next week we will post a video of volunteers sharing their experiences.

Squirrel on the loose indoors
Volunteers for our girls' TRAC camp noted a squirrel literally hanging out Friday on the fireplace in the Fireside Room. Although we gave the furry critter ample opportunity to depart, he may still be in the building this Sunday. (Perhaps he would like to participate in the Hillbilly Youth Summer Camp.) In any case, if you see him indoors, please let a staff member know. And we have to confess we felt inspired by this incident to recall this fine humorous tune:

Youth Programs need you!
If you can help with any of the following, please contact Andy Chinn here.
A Vehicle for Canada Mission Trip
The Canada Mission Trip will depart August 11th and return August 19th. The youth group needs a vehicle that can carry eight to nine passengers and is able to tow a 10-foot trailer, such as a suburban. If you can assist with this need, please contact youth pastor Andy Chinn at 360-286-4420.
Leaders for The Vine
Do you love kids and would you be willing to serve three to four hours a week? We are seeking leaders for our weekly Vine program. Leaders will receive materials to guide them, but also have the freedom to choose other materials if they are appropriate for their group and have approval from Pastor Andy.

Chris Clark to deliver guest sermon
Chris Clark, the international president of Children of the Nations, will deliver the guest sermon next Sunday July 15th. He is a fifth-generation missionary raised in Africa. Both Chris and his wife, Debbie, felt called to serve children. Chris served as director of Youth For Christ for 10 years. Debbie was a teacher. Then in 1995, both were inspired to start COTN when the couple were desperately searching for aid for African children. They found there was no single entity dedicated to assisting children. The program grew from a budget of $300 a month to its current annual budget of $7 million, providing aid to children in the United States,
the Dominican Republic, Sierra Leone, Malawi, Uganda and recently in Haiti and Liberia.
Learn more about COTN.

Summer Children's Program Begins
This Sunday the Treasure Trove will begin its summer schedule. Children who were in grades three though five last school year should stay with their parents in the sanctuary for the service. Babies and toddlers should be taken directly to the nursery. Children in preschool through second grade last school year will be dismissed after the first 10 minutes or worship. Preschoolers will go to Room 111. Kindergarten through second-graders will go to Room 211. Children will be promoted to the next grade in September.

Summer in the USA students are here
Students from the Basque country of Spain are now here staying with host families, many from our congregation. The students are learning English, more about life in America, and life in a Christian home. They arrived last week and will return July 27th. This year, 99 donors contributed $8,910 to the program to fund special activities, and offset program costs so they are more affordable for participating students. Thanks to all of you!
