Jerusalem Marketplace Adventure Camp
There aren’t enough thank you’s for all of the shopkeepers, artisans, teachers, cooks, dancers, belayers, fishers, singers and supporters who participated in our Jerusalem Marketplace this past week! Setting up and tearing down the Marketplace, food preparations, first aid– we couldn’t have done it without you!! Our young leaders and old adults were awesome!
It was a BLAST!
Just ask anyone who was there how much fun it was!
Looking forward to next year!!

Summer Seminar Series
Beginning tonight, June 29th, we are launching a series of two hour seminars for the purpose of your spiritual growth. These are designed to convey more content and skills with perhaps a little homework to do in–between. Our first three will occur on the succeeding Sunday nights.
June 29- Self-Feeding on God’s Word: Learning how to learn from the Bible so we know what it says, what it means, and what to do about it. This will be tonight from 6-8 pm. Talk to Jim before you leave today so materials will be ready.
July 6 and13- Growing a Christian Worldview: We are engulfed in cultures and philosophies that make God in their own image or conclude that there is no God. Jonah has the gift to help you identify and answer the silly stuff some intelligent minds think they believe. Those seminars will also be from 6-8pm at the church.

July 2- Family Night Barbeque at the Choates.
The Demolar Growth Group invites children of Bergen Park Church to bring their parents to the Choate Ranch and Amusement Park. Bring your own food to cook and a desire for family relaxation and fun.

Loving Arms Team
We have purchased all the needed supplies for our Romania trip coming up, so those donated items on the supply list aren’t needed, but we would love to accept monetary donations towards these supplies! Thank you!

Church Directory Updates
The Church Directory will be updated late June and we need changes of address, e-mail addresses, etc. You can note changes response cards. If you have a new picture that you would like to be used, send it to the Church e-mail address or bring it to the office. We can also scan pictures in the office.
Thanks so much! – Joan
