SUNDAY: SUMMER CELEBRATION + BACKPACK DRIVE
This Sunday is week 4 of our Summer Celebration Series.
Please remember to bring your school supplies this Sunday. Let's see which Network can collect the most backpacks and school supplies! Look on the August Journey sheet to find a list of possible items to pick up.

BAPTISMS & BONFIRE THIS SUNDAY NIGHT
August 24 - 6:00 pm at Pere Marquette Beach
Plan to come out to this Beach, Baptisms, Bonfire event to celebrate what God is doing in peoples lives. Plan to meet at 6:00 pm at the grassy picnic and playground area by the Coast Guard Station at Pere Marquette. It's at the north end of the beach by what some people call "the ovals". Pack a picnic or some snacks to bring if you want. At 6:30, we'll head down to the beach area and have baptisms. After the baptisms, we'll have a bonfire. The Journey will provide everything for s'mores. Feel free to spend time at the beach after that so maybe bring some beach stuff too. If weather is an issue, we will make the announcement on Sunday, send an email, and post it on Facebook and our website. So check those spaces before you come if there is any question.

QUARTERLY LETTER/FINANCIAL UPDATE
This week we sent out a quarterly letter with a financial update. If you do not receive the letter this week, we probably need your correct address. You can respond to this email or fill out a connect card on Sunday if you would like to be added to our mailing list or to update your contact information. Last Sunday we also made an important announcement about another $10,000 challenge. For more details, check out the News Feed on our website.
