Hospitality Team and Childcare Workers Needed for Yearly Meeting
We are looking for people to join our Yearly Meeting hospitality team. You have the opportunity to serve at the coffee station and/or greet delegates at the delegate information tables. There will be a coffee training on Friday (7/19) morning, so no experience is needed.

Pick the time slots that fit your schedule at www.efcer.org/ym19/volunteer . If you are serving as a delegate and want to help, contact Julia McDonald f or ways you can be involved too.

We also need caring individuals to help provide childcare in the Children's Program, especially for infants and toddlers. If you are able to help with childcare, please contact Julie Jenkins directly.
Ed and Linda -  Pray for Ed and Linda as they make final preparations to return permanently to the U.S. in the next few weeks. Please pray for their transition, packing, and many “goodbyes” after 18 years of service. Learn more from Ed and Linda at Yearly Meeting next month.

Hispanic Ministry - Friends Church: Willoughby Hills youth are partnering with our two Hispanic churches in Philadelphia for outreach and service this week . Pray for Kingdom impact. This weekend is also the recognition of graduates from the Friends Theological Institute started by Iglesia Evangelica Amigos in Kingston, NY. Pray for God to continue raising up and sending out workers to His fields (Matthew 9:38).


We join Pastor Samuel Navarro and Philadelphia Iglesia Evangelica Amigos as they celebrate paying off their mortgage!
