PICNIC POTLUCK TODAY! You are invited to join your church family for a potluck picnic at nearby Kelsey Creek Park today, August 1. (First-timers may want to follow someone, to see where we traditionally park and picnic at this large park.) Our Social Committee will bring serving tables, plates, cups, utensils, and napkins. Plan to bring enough food for your family plus a bit extra for guests, your own beverage, and blanket or lawn chairs. Also bring any lawn games you want to share!

Meet & Greet: August 26 at 6:30 PM
Bellevue Seventh-day Adventist Church

WOMEN’S SUPPORT GROUP: The Women’s Support group will meet August 15, in the Youth Room, 1:00-1:45 p.m. Those who wish to attend must sign a non-disclosure agreement.

BIBLE STUDY & PRAYER: The Fireside Bible Study & Prayer session will meet August 15, at 2:00 p.m. in the Fireside Room. We will be studying John 18:28-40 with John Skiggn as moderator.

OFFERING NEXT SABBATH: The offering next Sabbath, August 8, will support Christian Record Services (CRS). Many individuals facing vision loss quietly withdraw from church and community—what CRS calls the Quiet Crisis. CRS responds with hope, providing free accessible Bibles, books, and support in audio, braille, and large print. Your gift helps ensure that no one faces vision loss alone. Please plan to give next Sabbath or visit bit.ly/CRSOffering2026.

ENCOURAGEMENT CARD TRAIN: The Bellevue Women’s Ministry has a collection box in the foyer for you to drop off a card of encouragement which the team will collect each Sabbath and mail a steady flow of love, prayer, and encouragement on to members who could use a boost of encouragement. We will provide postage.

SUMMER CAMP! Sunset Lake Summer Camp has Day Camp for ages 6-8, June 22-26. Overnight camps for ages 8-17 are offered June 21-August 8. For families needing some financial assistance, contact Pastor Maylan. For more information visit. www.sunsetlake.org.

ABBA’S CHILD GRIEF CAMPS AT SUNSET LAKE: Death in the immediate family can be devastating for a child. Abba’s Child Grief Camps provide much needed support to grieving children with trained counselors and fun camp activities. If you know a child who has experienced the recent loss of a parent or sibling, please visit www.abbaschild.org for more information. This year Sunset Lake is hosting a special Abba’s Child Grief Camp for juniors June 21-26 (ages 10-12) and for teens August 2-7 (ages 12-15).
