FESTIVAL ASSISTANCE
The deadline for submitting requests for Festival Assistance is fast approaching. Applications
must be received by Mr. Kelley no later than next Sabbath, June 20. If you need an application
request form, please see your Festival Advisor or Mr. Kelley today.
SERVING AT THE FEAST
Please remember to go online and volunteer to serve at the Feast. Various responsibilities are
being assigned now and Pastors will soon be receiving reports of those who have volunteered to
serve for various functions. For example, this year, Mr. Kelley will be coordinating Family Day at
the Feast in Orange Beach and will be needing volunteers to assist.
Each site depends heavily on volunteer service from so many of you to help make the Feast run
smoothly, to help those who have special needs and to make the Feast so much more enjoyable
for everyone. Regardless of the size of the site you’re attending, many volunteers are needed;
and we hope you will serve as you are able. So, here’s how you can volunteer:
You will find a new navigation button that says “Serve at the Feast” on the top of the Feast
website (http://feast.cogwa.org). Click that button to start the process.
DAVID BAKER BEGINS TRAVELS AGAIN
Mr. David Baker will be off on another trip overseas including the Philippines beginning tomorrow
and will be out of the country until July 19 th. He would appreciate your prayers for safe travels
and for everything to go well back home.
