Ridge Notes for July 9, 2015

5-Day Backyard Bible Clubs Started This Week!!
There were four clubs meeting this week with good attendance at all. Please be in prayer for the children and parents who attended and for many to come to Christ. Continue in prayer next week for the clubs meeting in Purcellville, Round Hill, Lovettsville and Winchester. Pray for the youth leaders, for the neighborhood children to come and hear the gospel clearly presented each day, and for whole families to be led to Christ.

If your children would like to attend, you may contact Sara Watson to see which clubs are still open ().

Romania Reborn Benefit Concert
Everyone is encouraged to come on Friday, July 17, 7:00 p.m. for a wonderful concert and to help Romania Reborn. Jenny & Tyler are back with their refreshing Christian artistry, acoustic sounds, catchy melodies, and thoughtful lyrics. Corina Caba (Romanian Director) will also join in from Romania via Skype. Bring the whole family. This concert will benefit Romania Reborn, a Christian ministry seeking to place orphaned children in families.
