Happy Independence Day!

Let us celebrate everyone with July birthdays!

Cowboy’s Rest is offering several summer camps this year for kids and teens born 2008–2017.  Teen Camp 2 runs July 6–11, Teen Camp 3 runs July 20–25, and Kids Camp 2 is for kids born 2014–2017.  Our church plans to sponsor three kids this year—please see Pastor Tim if you know a child who would benefit from attending.

The Church Council is currently gathering information regarding our existing church sign which is in need of replacement. No decisions have been made at this time. We ask that you join us in prayer as we seek wisdom and discernment in this matter.

The next scheduled Council meeting is July 19th.  All are welcome to attend and participate in this meeting particularly during this important time of transition for our Church.

The Business meeting to ratify the Revised Constitution and Bylaws is scheduled for August 2nd.  The draft of it is on the table in the foyer.  Please pick it up, review it and forward any questions or suggestions to Pastor Merki or a member of the Constitution and Bylaws Review Committee.  They are Sean Burke, Phil Wright, Janet Austin and Mark Clendenon.

This year marks Sonoma Baptist Church (SBC)’s 20th anniversary.  We are planning to have a celebration in October and are collecting photos and memorabilia for display.  Please label all items with your name and phone number and give them to Saundra Lange or Lyn Troike.  If you know anyone who was here when SBC was formed, please let Saundra or Lyn know.  They will invite them to attend the celebration.  The Council is also seeking volunteers to join the planning team for this celebration.
