Volunteer work week at Camp Michigamme: July 13-19; a week of work projects. Both individuals and groups are welcome to come and be a part of the team. That week will be mostly focused on the demolition of three structures. Also looking for people who are willing to get dirty helping with the dismantling and processing of the building material to the dumpster and burn pile. Most work will be at ground level; little, if any, ladder work will be needed. Pickup trucks with drivers needed for hauling items. Please note that you will be handling used building materials so gloves, eye protection and good work shoes or boots are encouraged for your own safety. If you are planning on helping that week, please contact Jim Daly at jimdaly@campmichigamme.org or call 906-458-3310 ahead of time.

2008 Conference Youth Assembly: August 6-10. CYA 2008 will climb aboard “God’s B.U.S.” Building, using, and spreading the community of Christ is the theme of this year’s Assembly. In 2007, we successfully explored worship. We will now take our faith, grown stronger through worship, into the real world. In addition to the fun activities found every year at CYA, several guests will share their fascinating experiences with expanding God’s kingdom through their extensive evangelism and mission work. Join us for an exciting and informative exploration of how God uses us to work for His greater glory. Downlaod the flyer and registration for the Conference Youth Assembly at Adrian College on August 6-10, 2008, or email Laurie Kaufman de la Garza, adult advisor of the CCYM.
