 CAR WASH FUNDRAISER TODAY – Saturday, June 3!
Our awesome campus students are raising money for Generosity Sunday.
8:30AM to 4:00 PM @ Campus View Church (1360 Lumpkin St, Athens, Ga 30605).
 This Sunday, June 4, will be Kayli Schubarth’s last Sunday with us. Be sure to give hugs and wish her well as she moves home to Griffin, GA.
 Our beloved brother Ludlow Lawson is engaged and soon to be married. This Sunday, there will be a basket for cards and gifts cards on the welcome center at the church entrance. The basket will be out until June 11. Ludlow and Andrea will be so encouraged!
 Opportunity to meet a need in the family!
Mark and Joanna Martin need childcare the week of June 12 from 8-5 each day for their 7-month-old daughter, Autumn. Joanna needs to do training at UGA for work, and Mark just got a new job. They have been unable to get someone to watch Autumn for that week. They will pay for the babysitting, and it is fine if people split the days. Please call Joanna at (404) 433-5606 if you can help any or all of that week.
 From Steve Gibson, Camp Swamp Director :
We’ve had a lot of applications come in over the past several weeks and are looking really good for the summer. The first campers have arrived for our first week of Family Camp, and I’m having a hard time seeing how we could be more excited. There are still plenty of openings for the second Family Camp at the end of the summer (7/26-29).
Also, we just found out this week that Shining Stars Performing Arts Camp will unfortunately need to be cancelled this summer. Our dear sister Carrie Kelsie is facing a very recently diagnosed serious health situation and has requested our prayers.
Please see the list below for an update on what we currently need. Love you all big time!
