Grief Support: Beginning July 14, Children's Mental Health Services & Hospice Quinte are offering a grief support group for kids aged 6-10. The 3-week program provides a nurturing environment where children can safely express their feelings, connect with others who truly understand their grief, and learn gentle coping tools through thoughtful, activity-based sessions. To pre-register: shelleyh@hospicequinte.ca or 613-966-6610 ext. 224

Summer Volunteers: We are looking for 5 to 10 adult and youth volunteers to take one to two Sundays this summer to supervise the Sunday School children during the church service. Devotions and games will be provided. A current police check is necessary. Contact the church office or Judy if you are able to help.

Billets for Sports Camp July 7-11: We are looking for someone to host staff from Athletes in Action during the week of Ebenezer's sports camp July 6 to 11. You could choose to host 1 person, 2, 3 or all 4. Staff are looking for help with meals but have their own vehicle. Any questions, talk to Gary about this opportunity to show some epic Ebenezer hospitality.

June 22 Offering: Today’s second collection is for Ebenezer’s 2nd quarterly budget to stay on track with our budget, and classical/denominational shares.

June 29 Offering: The second collection is for World Renew/ Refugee Sunday. World Renew, the relief and development arm of the Christian Reformed Church in North America (CRCNA), has been involved in sponsoring refugees in Canada for 40 years.
