• Welcome all brothers, sisters, and friends who are worshiping with us today.
• We are thankful to God for reaching 140 people who will be participating in our Summer Retreat this year, and among them, many new friends and brothers and sisters are participating for the first time. As we all get ready for the retreat, a pre-retreat check-list has been prepared to remind us of what we need to remember to bring. Please pick up a copy after worship today. Please note also, that the Friday evening dinner starts at 6:30pm, followed by the first worship session. We have discussed with the camp and agreed that the cafeteria can be used as a late-night snack venue. Watermelon and cup noodles will be provided by the church. Each family is requested to prepare two nights of snacks as fellowship time in order preserve the fine tradition of the Summer Retreat.
