July 6: Benevolence Collection
Each month during the first worship service of the month, the Deacon Board collects a benevolence offering. This collection is used primarily to help those in the congregation with pressing needs. During the past few months, several needs have come up, and the Deacon Board would like to encourage you to prayerfully consider making a generous contribution in July.

CTW Family Camp Outing: June 26-29
Our 2nd Annual family camping trip is scheduled Thursday, June 26th – Sunday, June 29th. We will be camping at East Harbor State Park. The cost per family is $20 a night and covers the campsite cost only. Families should bring their own food and supplies. Families can choose to stay as many as three nights or as few as one, or if you are unable to stay the night please feel free to come up and spend a day in fellowship. CTW will hold worship services at both the state park and at our normal location in Toledo. You can begin SIGNING-UP NOW on the CTW Website Events page by clicking the “Sign Up For Events” link near the top of the page. You will likely have to add your name and create a password, but this will enable you to sign-up for future events using this same information.

4th of July Evangelism
Our annual 4th of July water distribution is actually on July 3rd this year because we will be witnessing in Perrysburg at Fort Meigs. This location provides easier access to people than downtown Toledo and is a great place to view the Perrysburg/Maumee fireworks display. Our job each year is to hand out free bottled water and a tract with an introduction to the gospel message and information about our church. Plan to arrive no later than 8:00 p.m. with a wagon and a cooler (extra coolers and wagons are also appreciated). See Matthew French or Tim Barton for more information.
