2013 Charity Group Meeting

Friday, June 7th 2013 3:07 PM

“Charity Group” Meeting

Come to learn & share ideas on how to assist others in need.

When: Monday, June 17, 2013 

Time: 12:30pm to 2:25pm

Where: George Fox University, Lemmons Lecture Hall, Room #8 

We are looking forward to this time of sharing some of the ways we can be a part of the “Hands & Feet” of Jesus in helping others in their time of need. We expect various reports to be given from Brethren across the Brotherhood on what activities they find to be effective and to be a blessing in the lives of others.

Groups that will be sharing include:

Brethren Charity Fund (OH), Christian Disaster Service (OH), SEEK Ministries (OH), Indiana Brethren Charity Fund (IN), Disaster Cleanup (KS), L.A.M.B. Services (CA), CAM Rapid Response Disaster Team (CA), CAM West (OR), CAM/SALT Update, Haiti Update, Well of Hope – Africa Ministry, Macedonian Ministry Update, China Update, & Others

We hope that everyone can have some time to share. This will allow for each presenter to have around 7 minutes, with the goal of having a “question and answer” time at the end.

Please help pass the word around for this meeting! We would love to have a full room!

To God be the all the Glory – He alone is Worthy!!

Shilo Inn Suites System Crash

Monday, May 27th 2013 11:22 AM

The Shilo Inn Suites at Newberg, Oregon has had a system crash and have not been able to retrieve their reservation information.

They are asking all that had reservations there during our Conference to call them and re-enter that information.

If your reservation was made directly with the hotel you should call  1-503-537-0303 or if made online call 1-800-222-2244. All the reservation clerks are prepared and waiting for your calls as soon as possible.

Scott the General Manager has requested that you call with your confirmation number and also the email that would have been sent to you provides additional information that will be needed, if you can have that available when you call. 

Respectfully,
Robert Filbrun 

The Loding Committee would like to remind you that dorm rooms are still available. Contact Aaron Kuns at: aaronk@swiftrivermachine.com for further information.
