A Note to you,

-We are in our senior co-ed week at camp, the next to last week for camp in 2011. So far the amount of campersfor each week has been slightly less than last year numbers except for girls week. We had 66 girls that week.There have been a combined total of 18 salvation decisions in all the camps, including the Ewing and SugarCreek groups. We had to replace a freezer in the kitchen when one went out but otherwise this year has beentrouble free.

-Remember in prayer our association churches that are without pastors: Central, Heritage, Jeffersonville,Providence E.C, Reid Village, Spears Mill, and Williams Memorial.

- We are holding Sr. Hymn sings on August 22 at Kiddville Baptist, August 23 at Clay City Baptist, and August

25 at Reid Village Baptist. Please support with your attendance the one closest to your area.-The next executive board meeting for the association is August 8 at Powells Valley Baptist in Clay City.-Heritage Baptist is going to have a church building raising September 2-7, 2011, on their property located onHighway 60 between Winchester and Lexington. The footers are already completed. Carpenters for Christ iscoming in on the above date to put up the structure and the roof. Anyone in the association who would like tohelp will be welcome.

Food For Thought:

Dr. J. Vernon McGee wrote these words:When the church was young it thought of itself as a pilgrim and stranger in this world. It was true to the

Lord. It preached the gospel, as defined in 1 Corinthians 15:1-8. Had it continued in that condition, there would

have been worldwide evangelism in the first 500 years.But in A.D. 313 Constantine was converted. He issued the Edict of Toleration, which meant that

persecution ceased. No longer was the church a martyr church. It came up out of the catacombs. Five millionChristians had shed their blood and laid down their lives gladly for Jesus Christ. But suddenly the church founditself in power.

Augustine, a great man with a keen mind, wrote The City of God, which gave the church a vision ofbuilding the kingdom of God down here upon this earth. They have attempted to do what Augustine said thechurch should do - build the kingdom of God here upon this earth.

But God never intended that His church should do that. Its mission was to preach the Word of God andto win men to Jesus Christ. Our Lord Jesus never did predict phenomenal success for His church. This is thething He did say: When the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? (Luke 18:8).

Lets pray that He does find faith on earth and that we always remember our mission.

Yours in Christ,Bro. John
