Authority, Honor and Blessing – Sermon
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.

Ideas for Kids This Sunday
The Worship Center is setup for social distancing as we gather again for services this Sunday, June 7. Because are currently not offering any children’s ministries on Sunday mornings, parents may encounter some new hurdles to worship as a family. If you have young children, Cathy Poole has some great ideas for you to consider!
