We extend a warm welcome to all who have come to
worship and fellowship with us this morning. If you are
a first time visitor with us, please take time to fill out a
“Welcome Card” located in the pew rack and place it in
the offering plate.
Parents of small children (under age 3) may take them
to our Nursery, where a caring staff will supervise them.
We also have a Pre-School Program (ages 3-5) that runs
during our Worship Service in the Church Time PreSchool Room. One of our ushers would be happy to
help you locate either one of these facilities.
Elementary School children are invited to take part in
our KidZone program which starts after the first part of
our Worship Service downstairs in the Vestry.

News & Events
Relief Effort Update
Thanks to your generous donations we were able to raise
$1150 for the Somali Refugee relief effort that CBM is
helping carry out in Dadaab, Kenya. It’s still not too late to
give. You can mark ―CBM—Somalia Refugee Camp‖ on
your offering envelope. If you are writing a cheque,
make it out to Bedford Baptist Church but mark it for the
refugee camp on the memo line.
Our Prayer Initiative
We are invited to join together in prayer for one another.
As we move through our fellowship alphabetically, look for
your name to appear. If it doesn't, please let Peter know,
for we wish to be in prayer for YOU. This week, please be
in prayer for: Melvin, Janette, Erin, Haley & Maggie
Fiander (and Samantha & Nick Krauch), Peter & Margaret
Foote, Clive & Alana Foster, and Scott, Tina & Devin Frail.
Also be in prayer for our New York Mission Team
which leaves this Saturday, August 6th.
Birthday Greetings
Belated best wishes are extended to Evelyn Ross who
celebrated her 86th birthday on July 18th, to Helen Beeler

Fantastic Fridays

Team will be hosting Fantastic Fridays each and every
Friday from 10:00 am – 3:00 pm. These special events are
open to those in Grades P-6. Those planning to attend are
asked to bring a bag lunch and wear old clothes for what
promises to be a fun-filled day of exciting activities. The
first Fantastic Friday (August 5th) will be a Water Day!
Please get in touch with Kayleigh or Laura for further

Help For Preschool
Looking for a fun, easy and rewarding way to volunteer in
our church? Consider spending time with our small group of
church time preschoolers. One person is currently needed
on the 4th Sunday of every month and 2 are needed on the
5th Sundays (only a few each year). For more information,
please contact Michelle Vekeman.
