On behalf of the Hutchison family we would like to thank the Ebenezer Church family for all the kind words, cards and prayers during this difficult time of the passing of Binnie’s brother.

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.

Quinte West for Refugees: Thank you to the members of the congregation for their generous response to meeting the needs for Peter and Nabil to transition to Canada. We appreciate your prayers for the men and families as they prepare for this long awaited reunion. We have received an offer for a van for the airport pickup. Most of the furnishings have been provided. The current needs are 2 laptop computers and 2 floor lamps. As outlined last week, to those still wishing to assist this sponsorship, financial support through the church or gofundme account would be appreciated. Thank you for your continued prayers. Please direct questions to Doug or Elsie.

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 V if you are able to help.

Final Week – Let’s Finish the PFCQW Baby Bottle Drive Strong! Huge thanks for filling your bottles with love and generosity! Don’t forget to return them by Father’s Day. Or donate at pfcqw.ca, e-transfer to director@pfcqw.ca. Every gift makes a difference – thank you!
