Support Your Pathfinders this Weekend!
Our Oregon Conference Pathfinders are excited to announce that the Snack Shack will be open this coming Sunday and Monday, July 14 & 15 from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM both days.
You'll have the chance to enjoy Pronto-Pups, corn on the cob, vege-burgers, ice cream, kettle corn, and more! All while helping our local Pathfinders finish raising funds for this year's International Camporee in Gillette, Wyoming! The Pathfinders will be hosting a car wash on Sunday, as well.
In addition to some yummy food, be sure to stop by the ABC for their summer sale at camp meeting prices and the annual summer used book sale happening in Zull Hall (next to the Snack Shack).
So come make it a day with family and friends. Catch up in line, Pronto-Pup or Vege-burger, and stay for the fellowship!
Can't attend but would still like to support our Pathfinders for the camporee this year? Donate via SquareSpace...

"Last summer I was down at the campfire bowl. At the end of a program, a camper came up and said, 'This is the first time I've ever felt like I belong.' An interesting thing is that I hear that all the time.
Last week, I heard it from some of my staff as they were sharing about coming here and experiencing community. And I just think - I wonder what it would be like if in your church, in your community - wouldn't it be awesome if everybody who walked in felt seen and valued and could say, 'I belong here. There's no safer place than right here with you.'"
Today’s Wednesday Word is brought to you by Pastor Les Zollbrecht, OC Director for Youth Ministries & Big Lake Youth Camp
