   FATHER MARK’S ANNOUNCEMENTS 1) THANK YOU to all who have gave so generously at our last week’s special collection for Camp Canterbury Scholarships! We are very near our goal of $1,500. If you haven’t donated yet but would like to help us meet our goal, you can do so by shopping this weekend at our Christmas in July Sale, where part of the proceeds will go to our Camp Fund. Again, my sincere thanks for helping send our kids to camp again this year. It means everything, and I am so grateful for your generosity. 2) VOLUNTEERS NEEDED — Our kids/youth programming starts up again soon, and we are looking for a few more volunteers to assist. Specifically, we are looking for a couple more teachers and helpers for our Godly Play class (ages 5-10), four to eight teachers and helpers for our newest Pre-Teen Group (ages 11-12), and a couple to lead our Youth Group (ages 13-18). This seems daunting — recruiting this many volunteers in a church our size — but our young folks absolutely deserve our best efforts. Will you consider going outside your comfort zone just a bit and helping us teach and serve the youth of our parish? You can volunteer by calling the office (308) 632-4626, or emailing Ann at [email protected] 3) MEN’S BIBLE STUDY begins again Friday, July 23rd at 8:00 A.M. in the library. Good coffee and great fellowship provided and no prior experience reading the bible is needed. All we do is read and talk and I promise you won’t meet a nicer bunch of guys. 4) CATECHISM CLASSES for youth ages 13-15 will begin in September. You can sign your young person up by following this link: https://saintf.breezechms.com/form/6745a319 ANN’S ADDITIONS Happy Birthday!!
