We have been partners with Gary & Judy Woods as they have served the Lord in Tanzania for the past several years. As you know, they are retiring after more then 30 years in Africa. They are making one last "loop" to see many of their supporting churches before they settle in their new home in the Portland, OR area.

The Woods will be here at SCF on Monday, July 9th. We will share a "pot blessing" meal at 6:00 pm and then Gary & Judy will have a short program, followed by time for Q & A. They will stay as long as people have questions or want to stay and visit with them.

Because of all the travel they have to do, they will be leaving on Tuesday, July 10th. The time will be short but we can make it be sweet by sharing a rich time of fellowship with them. Please save this date and plan on being part of "an evening with Gary & Judy Woods."

On Sunday, July 15th, SpringCreek Fellowship with help our sister church, the Word of Restoration Church, celebrate their 12th congregational anniversary. We will be hosting a meal for them in their honor, immediately after their worship celebration, at 5:00 pm.

Poiema Evans will be point person for us. But she will need a lot of help, in the setup, preparing and serving of the meal, and then the cleanup when we are all done. You can sign up to help in any of these phases in the Information Center located in the main foyer outside the sanctuary. 

If you have any questions, please address them to Poiema (479-249-1036). Let's celebrate our partnership with the WOR church and throw them a great anniversary party!
