Hymn Service Scheduled for July 11

Mark your calendars and come prepared to share in our hymn service on July 11. We are asking all members to come with their requests for hymns to sing, along with their testimony regarding how their selection has inspired their faith. Please plan to use this time to encourage your church family by sharing your favorite hymn's meaning for you. Ella Mae Durkee - Kenny's mom - has agreed to play piano for us during this service and a fellowship meal will follow.

Services for Kathleen Forbes

Dear family and friends,

As some of you know, mom passed away Friday, June 18 after complications related to old age. Her attitude and spirit was very good right up to the end. Thanks to the around the clock dedication and efforts of daughters Ann and Margaret, she was given wonderful care and attention in her last days. She displayed a lot of love to her family and friends and having her children by her side in her last days helped ease the pain that she suffered. She will be greatly missed.

There will be a graveyard service for her at 11:00 AM this Saturday, June 26 at the Bow Cemetery in Bow, Washington. Those who are interested are invited to the Farmhouse Restaurant where we will be eating following this service. This is a no-host event.

There will also be a memorial service for her at 3:00 PM on Friday July 2 at the Chapel of the Resurrection, 16300 112th Ave NE, Bothell, Washington. This location is where she attended church and is part of the Cedar Park Assembly of God complex near the I-405 and 160th exit. Refreshments will follow this service.

We have a lot of email addresses but we never have all of them. Please forward this to your family members and others who knew and loved our Mom.

Let's All Go to Family Camp!
August 5 - 8 we will join the Willamette Valley AC Conference for family camp in Boardman, Oregon. Last year many of us attended and had a terrific time of worship and fellowship. We've been invited to join them once again, and this year we will be responsible for hosting at least one meal. Please plan to join us!

Notes from the Latest CLT Meeting

The first Sunday fellowship meal will be changed from July 4 to July 11.
There will be no Sunday School during the summer but Children's Church will still continue.
There is still time left to donate to Penny Crusade. We have currently raised close to the same amount as last year.
A musical group from California Baptist college will be here on July 22 to perform. Mark your calendars and more information will follow!
We will be hosting the WACA Triennial meeting at West Valley Church in October. Sandy Tonseth was nominated to represent West Valley.

Penny Crusade Update
We are getting close to our goal for Penny Crusade. So far $3,275.71 has been given. Soooo, just $225 more and we will be over the top. We can still give, so let's put on that last push and go over the top!! Thanks for all everyone has given, and will give!

News from Tom and Nelda, Our Missionaries in the Philippines
We send our greetings from Mati and also want to let you know that we now have a web site. If anyone wants to view it, go to tomandnelda.net. Our website was designed by one of the graduates from CANDOR technical college here on the Agape compound. With many IT professionals around this compound, it is not hard to keep up with the high-tech world! If you want to link this to the West Valley site that would be fine also. This will be our primary method of keeping people informed. Please extend our love to all the fine folks at West Valley.
