There is no teen devo tonight due to the teens being away at Camp Bandina.

Memories of Camp Bandina

Thirty-nine years ago, give or take a week or so, I was a twelfth grade camper at Bandina, my only opportunity to go. In the years since, I have been blessed by God to attend Bandina 25 years as a counselor and one year as a ministry intern. The Lord has blessed me with a wonderful wife and children — he has blessed me with a loving and caring church family here at Westside and he has blessed me over and over through my Bandina family. At least a third of the staff who will be at camp this year were campers together many years ago. Our young people make many great memories at Bandina, they study the Word of God intensely and they make Christian friends for life. That’s what Bandina means to me. Rayford

The dates for Twin Oaks Camp have been set for July 27th - 31st. Twin Oaks is for those who have

finished the 3rd through the 6th grades. Applications are on the table in the foyer.

Please turn applications in to Richie by July 3rd.

Those to remember in prayer…

Scott Allen began both chemo and radiation

treatments last Tuesday. The treatments take place at

the same time with chemo occurring once per week

for 6 weeks and radiation five times a week for the

same 6 weeks.

John and Beverly Spencer both continue to do well

at home recovering from their recent

hospitalizations.

Nikki Spears received the results of her MRI's and it

was good news. She will not need surgery, but will

need to do a few months of physical therapy to

strengthen her knee and ankle.

Kevin Burkhardt, Kevin Ford’s friend and

coworker, has Stage 2 esophagus and stomach

cancer. He meets with his doctor on June 13th to

discuss when his surgery will be to remove his

esophagus and part of his stomach and when he will

begin chemotherapy.

Lola Haley asks that we keep in our prayers James

Peveey who has just been diagnosed with cancer of

the kidney. James is the father of Lola’s

daughter-in-law, Gwen Haley.

Jake Sanders is continuing to be treated for

pneumonia, but is getting better. And what was

thought last week to be a swollen lymph gland or a

spot on his lung is not either one — it was just the

pneumonia showing up on the x-ray.

Our theme this year is: “Creatures of the Heart”.

If you are interested in teaching

or helping, please see Kim Hamilton or Joyce Davenport. Volunteers are needed and

very much appreciated.

Greg Fair will be bringing the sermon to us this morning, since Rayford is away at Camp Bandina.

We are collecting

grocery bags and

paper towel rolls for

our VBS. If you could

please bring them in batches of

15 and place them in

the yellow box in the

foyer, it would be

greatly appreciated.

Ladies Bible class will not be meeting over the summer.

Class will resume again in September.

Additional Deacons Proposed

Two weeks ago, the elders placed before the congregation the names of three men to serve as additional deacons. These men are Don

Berryman, Curtis Gardner and Joey Janoch. If you know of any scriptural

reason why any of these men are not qualified to serve, you must present this to one of the

elders by next Sunday, June 12th. If there are no objections, all three men will be appointed

to serve on Sunday, June 19th.

Hershel Bearden will be here

next Sunday, June 12th, to give

us an update on his mission work

in India during a combined adult

bible class and bring the Sunday

morning sermon.

All the ladies in the congregation are encouraged to come to Ladies Prayer Group today at 5:00 pm in the Fellowship Hall.

Rayford and Richie will both be away at Camp Bandina this week.

Please contact one of the Elders or Sheri Ford, if you need anything.

All of the men in the

congregation are

encouraged to come

to a Men’s Prayer Breakfast on

Saturday, June 18th, at 8:00 am.
