This Sunday is an ALL OUT Sunday!

You are invited to join the campers up at Mt. Seymour Provincial Park, group campsite on Sunday June 30.  We’ll have a time of singing and share communion around 10:30 and then potluck lunch.  Bring weiners or something to grill and then something to share (salad/chips/dessert)

Below is a link to a map that has the group campsite listed.

Anne’s Holiday:

I will be away June 24th – July 19th for our family vacation, which will begin with a reunion with old friends and a theological conference in Cambridge, England and end with time in Czech with Jaro’s family. Adam, who has been abroad doing course work and travelling, will join us in Prague, along with Johanna and Jaro. We are really looking forward to some rich family time together. We are saddened that the dates of this trip and the church camping trip clashed. A big thank you to Angela and all those who are holding that space without me.  See you in July!!

Nepal 2020 Trip!?

For some time now, we have been brain storming about a Southpoint mission trip to visit Himalayan Life in Nepal. Could 2020 be the year? What if we were able to pull together 6-10+  people for a trip over spring break in March 2020? We would love to have a meeting with those who have any interest or are curious about this. Send an email to Markku if you are interested.

Baptisms this Summer:

Three young people in our church, want to be baptized, so we’ll have a service of baptism at the end of the summer! Rather than the usual class, I will be having a “retreat” day with them on Sunday, August 4th in preparation for this moment in their lives. If any one else is interested, please let me know:)
