Dr. Peter Browning will be preaching on July 20.

On July 20, Jacque White and Dennis & Melissa Erfling will leave for another NACC mission trip to Ecuador. While they are there, they will be constructing a daycare center in one of the villages and helping with Christian education and medical needs in other villages. They would like to take personal care items to distribute in the medical clinics. The region is high in the mountains and windy and dusty and the villagers’ skin is always dry and red. Items needed are: lotion, chap stick, saline nasal spray, eye drops (natural tears), antibiotic ointment, hydrocortisone cream, tooth-brushes and toothpaste. Please bring only the small tubes or bottles (2 oz.). The larger ones break and leak in the trunks during travel. Cash or checks are also always appreciated and please remember the Quechua Indians in your prayers.

HOSPITAL NOTE: When being admitted to the hospital, you can do two things that will help the ministers in calling on you. First, take a moment to phone the church office (869-9176) or have a friend or family member phone for you. Also, please let us know the name you are listed under at the hospital, as often this is not the name we know you by. Second, when you register at the hospital, please have them record that you are a member of National Avenue Christian Church. We care about you and we want to be there for you during your hospitalization.

VBS WAS A HUGE SUCCESS!

Thank you so much to all of the adults and youth who helped with Vacation Bible School. Whether you brought in paper towel rolls, cut apples, or worked with the children, we couldn’t have done it without you. Also, thanks to everyone who helped us collect money for our mission project. We collected $110.00, which is enough money to purchase and send eleven mosquito nets to families in sub-Saharan Africa. Thanks, Robyn Hagerman, VBS Coordinator
