We are just a few weeks away from our church wide outreach to our neighborhood. Many of you have heard us talk a lot about the special week of Kanakuk KampOut we are hosting exclusively for our neighbors. It's going to be an amazing week. KampOut for that special week is filled to capacity and we know God is going to work in the hearts of the kids.

But a vital part of this outreach is how we, as a church, follow up with every family who has kids attend KampOut. That is where we need your help. We are looking for at least 15 more people who would join the follow up efforts so our relationship building with our neighbors doesn't end at Kamp. If you are interested in joining this vitally important team or if you have questions reach out to Kelli McGill at kmcgill@efree.org.

Join us on August 12, directly after second service (12:15 pm), for a Mission Community Lunch! D&C G will present on their work in Asia, the Spain team will share how they went to serve alongside Giles and Debbie Davis during spring break, and the German team will share about the closing of our partnership in Dresden. Please plan to join us and invite a friend to introduce them to First Free missions. Reservations are very helpful! RSVP to lcalys@efree.org.
