2.  Bridgeport Fellowship I CARE Outreach ministry opportunities

Dear Friend of our I CARE Outreach,

Greetings in Christ!

Can you join us in helping to meet back to school supplies for needy students in Bridgeport?   Considering these tough economic times families are struggling even more to provide school supplies. 

Our goal is to share love in this city by giving backpacks loaded with school supplies to needy students in Bridgeport.  Please see http://www.efcneda.org/pubs/2010BacktoSchoolNeeds.doc to fill a backpack loaded for school supplies.  Working directly with the Principal and Social Worker in Bridgeport Schools we will begin distributing backpacks from the week of August 22nd through September 10th.

You and your group can help meet basic school supplies for students in need.  Please call if you need further info and to coordinate delivery.

Your fellow laborer in Christ,

Pastor Rob Turner

3.  NEDA Men's Retreat Reminder September 24-26, 2010 at Camp Spofford

It is not too late to sign up for the Men's Retreat. Special speaker is Pastor Ed Cole. Topic is "To Boldly Go: Living Uncommon Life and Taking Others Along for the Ride.”  To register please go to info@campspofford.org or call 603-363-4788.

4.  Prayer Request

Your most earnest prayer is needed for Pastor Dave McIntyre (senior pastor of Calvary EFC, Trumbull, CT) and his wife Andrea. Scott Craddock, Dave's Associate Pastor writes:

"I also wanted to let you know that Dave’s cancer has taken a turn for the worse.  The spot has actually grown in the midst of treatment.  You can get a detailed report at his blog found at www.calvaryefc.com.  He is going to receive a very intense chemo treatment for the next 4 days, and then the doctors will be making some determinations going forward."

 

It looks like a bone marrow transplant with the related heavy-duty chemo is in the near future. We are saddened by this turn of events. However, we know that the effectual fervent prayer of God's righteous people avails much. Please pray.
