Caleb Calendar - August, 2010

Next Sunday, August 15th I have been given the privilege of preaching once again at Westside Foursquare Church at the 10 AM service. 11452 26th ave SW, Seattle, WA 98146.  My subject will be "By what Name Does God Call You" . It will be a sermon rather than a Caleb Ministry update. Please come if you can. Services are out at approximately 11:45. Pastor Dan Johnson is taking a vacation day from the pulpit.
 
It is not often I am given the opportunity to preach in the Seattle area so I covet your prayers as always.

Westside Foursquare Church  in Shorewood (Burien) at 11452 26th Ave SW has graciously offered to let CALEB MINISTRIES operate the annual Church Parking lot yardsale on JUNE 5th, 2010 to benefit Caleb Ministries.  This is the day of the annual SHOREWOOD COMMUNITY WIDE YARDSALE  so potentially there could be a wonderful turnout.
 
We need people to rent stalls  in the parking lot at $20/space. Setup will be from 8:30 AM and the sales from 10 AM until 3:00 PM. We need people to help set up the tables in the stalls,  make and place signs advertising the location, and help with trucks to remove the leftovers to Goodwill.
 
Please call Jerry Riess at 206 242 4264 to volunteer or to rent a space.

IN LOVING MEMORY...

It is with great sorrow that we say goodbye for now to our beloved NAN V. CORNING, 71. She went
home to GLORY Wednesday morning, March 25, 2009, and is in the loving arms of Her savior Jesus  
The Christ.  Nan received Jesus as her Savior at Westside Foursquare Church approximately five
years ago and became deeply committed to serving Him through Caleb Ministries. She rarely missed a Caleb Event, work party or Presentation. She gave generously of all she had to the Lord, wanting always
to serve others and continually putting her own needs and desires aside. She lived the "widows
mite". Following Bible study and dinner on Tuesday Evening at the home of Jerry Riess, she returned to her home where she suffered a sudden cardiac event after chasing her dog Jack Jack.  She called 9ll and
then Jerry for help. The medics arrived in 3 minutes but it was too late as she never fully regained consciousness. They took her to Highline hospital but she expired about 2 am.

Nan was widowed many years ago, had no surviving children, but is survived by her mother Dorothy Corning and her sister Sandy Mael who reside together in Everett, and by her many, many good friends and
church family. The Lord has brought home a great warrior and servant!
