This week is Senior High camp for grades 10-12! It runs from today until Thursday.
?Cookies, Cookies, Cookies! The campers will consume 13 dozen every day!!
6 camps x 5 days at 13 dozen a day = lots and lots of cookies! Many are needed and we could certainly use your help! Please list ingredients and put any baking in the freezer in the garage of the “youth house”. Thanks in advance for serving camp kids in this way.
Memorial Project– YOU can help finish the Dining Hall Chimney! Helping is simple! As you make your way out to Camp this summer we encourage you to stop in the Gravel Pit along the way and pick out a few stones. We need rounded stones that are tennis ball to melon sized (7 inch max). Then just deposit them in the sand by the chimney. The more people that do this the faster the job gets done! Let’s do it together!

Keep it clean
Please make sure that when your group, or you individually use the church facilities that you are careful to clean up afterwards. If you use a cup or glass, please wash it. If you use a stack of chairs, please return them. Let’s help our friendly janitors keep the church building clean and tidy.

Ted Wood will be preaching on May 30, and it will be a sequel to the sermon he preached last March (last year’s sermon dealt with the “Atheist Busses” illustration, knowing we are in a spiritual battle, and listening to God.)
If you would like a refresher you can find last year’s sermon at his website at
http://www.woodphotographics.ca/mclaurin
He will also have a couple copies on DVD if you catch him Sunday morning.
Loren Thomas served as a trainee with YWAM last year in several countries. Recently he has been invited to
assist YWAM as a trainer in their New Zealand
Program. Loren and his parents, Dave and Esther, have been a part of the McLaurin fellowship for a number of years. As mentioned last Sunday by Pastor Peter, we want to partner with Loren with our prayers and
finances in this faith venture. For those who would like to donate to Loren’s ministry in New Zealand, make your checks payable to: Youth With A Mission (BC) Society and designate your gift “for the ministry of Loren
Thomas”. You will receive a tax deductible receipt for your check from YWAM (not McLaurin). Your gift can be dropped into the offering box at the back of the church or presented to the church office next door.

Please take advantage of these cooler days and bake some cookies for camp! Campers need cookies all summer long. Please label containers with ingredients and because of allergies, no nuts please. Your help is appreciated!
