Blueberry Blitz – support Lake View Camp
BLUEBERRY BLITZ – Buy blueberries, support Lake View Camp!. Fresh from the farm in Michigan! Order forms are available at the Welcome Center and should be mailed with payment directly to Lake View or turned into the church office by June 23.
A Cedar Hills volunteer will drive to the Pella area to pick up all our church orders and bring them to the church for pickup on Sunday, June 30. (Please be sure to have someone available to pick up your blueberries on that day as we do not have ample storage for unclaimed orders.)
Lake View Camp is a ministry we support and send many our students and grandparents to throughout the summer. They also host camps for children who have a parent in prison (“Angel Tree” camps), which often means these students don’t have the financial means to pay for camp. We are so passionate about reaching out with the gospel to every student–fundraisers like these make it possible!

We are so proud of these young ladies! Thank you to everyone who came and supported their efforts.
Greenfield Relief Project
Many have inquired how we can respond to the devastating tornado that swept through Greenfield, Iowa last week. We were able to send some supplies late last week in coordination with St. John’s Catholic Church, but now the ‘storehouses’ are full at their church. Thank you to the many that helped collect supplies!
Here are some relief organizations on site in Greenfield that you may wish to partner with.
Greater Greenfield Community Foundation – accepting financial donations through their website.
The American Red Cross – They have workers on the ground and are accepting financial donations.
Salvation Army – They have workers on the ground and are accepting financial donations.
Samaritan’s Purse – from their website, it looks like they are organizing volunteers to assist with the clean-up. The volunteer link is on their website.
Food and water drop-off: A food and water drop-off location has been set up at the Department of Transportation facility located at 2313 Highway 92 east of Greenfield.
