July 10, 2016 - First Reformed Church

Thank you to all of the volunteers, kids, and families who helped make our CaveQuest a
success this past week! With the help of Lindsay the Bat and Clark Cavern we were able to
learn about our memory buddies who helped to teach us that Jesus gives us hope, courage, love
and His power. It took around 60 volunteers to help make this a success for our group of
around 100 kids each night. We were able to offer supper this year of spaghetti, chicken strips,
french toast sticks, and mini corn dogs. Each night we had around 130 people who were able to
partake in the meal and fellowship before we began our CaveQuest.
Our offering this year went to Bethany Christian Services. We were able to raise over
$1,000 in cash, as well as 480 diapers, 40 containers of wipes, and 68.5 ounces of formula!
Thank you for all of your help during the planning stages and throughout the week to
make this VBS a success! We really appreciate all of your help and support!
Check out our website at www.sullyfrc.org and go to this symbol
at the bottom of the
homepage for lots of fun pictures from the evening!
“I pray that the eyes of your heart will be enlightened so
that you may know the hope to which God has called you.”
Ephesians 1:18
“My thoughts are nothing like your
thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my
ways are far beyond anything you
could imagine.” Isaiah 55:8
SO much fun was
enjoyed by our kids and
volunteers at VBS!
The board of the East Jasper Christian Food Pantry is very grateful to you for your contribution
of $1850. We served 103 clients who needed food assistance during June. Your very generous
gift helped us with this mission. Thank you ever so much!
Carol Naeseth, Treasurer
Thank you to everyone who came and supported the Faithwalkers at the pancake breakfast on
July 4th. We raised $3459 which will go towards Rocky Mountain High next summer. Thank
you to Jerry and Charlotte Kunce, Dennis and Linda Van Maanen, Kurt and Arloa Harthoorn,
and Dave and Karla Winegar for donating the 2 hogs. We also want to thank our extra helpersAustin Kramer, Carrie Jo Hammer, Katelyn Doane, and Dennis and Linda Van
Maanen. Thanks again for your generosity!

NOTICE OF CHANGE FOR GUIDELINES FOR HOPE MINISTRIES clothing drive. Hope
Ministries is in need of good, wearable/repairable used clothing and especially
SHOES(no boots), COATS & SOCKS!! We ask that coats be bagged separately and all clothing
As we head toward two national political conventions, our nation seems as divided as ever.
America is in trouble--we are in need of Divine intervention like never before. Our next
president is not our great hope; Jesus Christ alone is the only hope for a sinful nation and
people enraged with evil. The Bible tells us, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and
desperately wicked” (Jeremiah 17:9). Pray for peace and an end to the hate and violence. I
pray that God will comfort and wrap His loving arms around the families and communities
grieving their loved ones.
The Word of God says, “Put your hope in the LORD both now and forevermore” (Psalm
131:3). Franklin Graham
come in garbage bags. NOTHING BROKEN, UNUSEABLE, RAGS or DIRTY ITEMS PLEASE!
Don’t forget to pick up your mail across from the new church office on the west
wall! If you do not have a mailbox and would like one, please contact the church office at
594-2935 or [email protected]. The July Informer is in your mailbox or online at

focus on their faith in Christ. Sunday School and fellowship time will NOT
be held. A TEC closing service will be held Sunday night. As a
congregation we can support this youth outreach ministry through our prayers
and allowing the ministry to occur with minimal interruption. Thank you for
