Reminders from last week:
Camp Gideon is still looking for... Sleeping Bags
Do you have extra Sleeping Bags?
Camp Gideon is looking for sleeping bags in good condition. We want to create a supply for campers who do not have one, forgot theirs, or had theirs inconvenienced.
If you do have sleeping bags you wish to donate, you can take them to The World Outreach Center in Canton, or bring them to Camp Gideon when you bring your camper down!
Thank you so much!
All Churches have received their 2014 Yearbooks.
(Please be sure to make the necessary updates to copies as they arrive at the church. Details and supplements have been included with each mailing.)
In Production Right now:
* Fall WMF Retreat Brochures for both the northern & southern locations are being designed and will be printed for distribution in June. * WMF Circle of Friends will be mailed out early next week. * Plans are well underway for Yearly Meeting, 2014. Expect to see copies of all materials and brochures in churches in early June.
Updated Website features! * Updated "Contact us" area of the website includes photos of the entire EFC-ER Office staff!

Now is the time to register for summer activities!
Please keep in mind that we will be needing teen volunteers to help with the Children's Ministry Program during Yearly Meeting. More details will be coming in the next few weeks. If you have teens who have a heart for children, save the Yearly Meeting dates (July 19-22) for them to volunteer.

There's a wonderful website that will allow volunteers to log in, select a date & post what they're bringing.
