Blueberry Blitz Fundraiser

We have a unique opportunity to support one of our missions – Lake View Camp – with a blueberry fundraiser! Print ORDER FORM now. (Make checks out to Lake View Camp)

Lake View will be selling FRESH Michigan blueberries! A friend of Lake View Camp has offered to provide us with as many fresh Michigan blueberries as we can sell, delivered straight from his family’s 4th generation farm. Over the past decade, blueberries have been called the miracle fruit for their outstanding source of vitamin C, dietary fiber, manganese, and antioxidant properties—the things that fight against the development of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and Alzheimer’s.

We here at Lake View Camp know a thing or two about miracles (though of a different sort of course!) and see this partnership between the miracle fruit and a camp where God’s miracles happen every day as a special opportunity to raise some much needed funds. So, join in our BLUEBERRY BLITZ! and help our ministry stay as healthy for our campers as these miracle berries will keep your body and mind.

*Berries will be delivered to Cedar Rapids on Saturday, July 18 and be available to pickup at Steve and Cathy Poole’s house.  Make checks out to Lake View Camp.

ORDER FORM
Payment due upon ordering. Return order form and payment to the church office by July 13.

Love, True Love

Miss Sunday’s sermon? You can watch the sermon on Vimeo.  Podcast also available on iTunes, Stitcher, Buzzsprout and most of your top podcast players. Just search for “Cedar Hills Community Church” and look for our blue circle logo.

“Love, True Love” may seem like just a sermon on marriage, but what we learn from Ephesians can be applied to many relationships in our lives as we learn to love and walk with those around us.
