1. Missionary Focus: Pray for Don & Carol Pickel, serving with ASSIST Canada (Cuba Ministries): "Dear friends at SEC: We hope you are enjoying beautiful weather these days. Soon we expect to be arranging the upcoming winter trips to Cuba where we will take a team each time, with up to eight others. Pastor Samuel, with whom we work in Cuba, will arrange the travel schedule for us and we expect to be able to financially help a number of evangelical churches in eastern Cuba. We want to thank you very much on behalf of our Cuban brethren for your recent financial gift to the Cuba ministry. This, unless you have otherwise designated, will go for church and parsonage construction in eastern Cuba, especially in the hurricane ravaged areas hard hit by Hurricane Matthew (2016) and Irma (2017). Cuba today is in a state of spiritual revival and God is working in amazing ways. May the Lord bless. Again, thank you. In His glad service, Don & Carol."

SEC NEWS

A big thank you to all who have volunteered to help with

Lawn Club. Volunteers are in place for this to go ahead the

week of Aug. 13-17 (for ages 5-13).

Volunteers are needed to help with cleaning and grass cutting

while Pastor Chris is on holidays, July 23 - Aug. 4. Contact the

church office if you can help.

Change of Address: Please replace the old for the new in your

directory for Brock Neilson: 1313 Ave. W North, Saskatoon SK

S7L 3J2.

Note from our Council: We have recently completed some revisions to our

church constitution & bylaws. As members, you need to be made aware of

these changes, and after one year, a vote can be held on whether to adopt

them or not. The major changes are as follows: 1) Updating the language

and format of our statement of faith. 2) Separating our church constitution

from the church bylaws. 3) Updating the language in the document and

the structures and processes within our church. The last revision was done

in 1990, so some of our boards & committees have changed, etc. To save

paper, we'd like to email you a copy of the proposed constitution. Please

contact the office in order to receive that. Paper copies can will be made

available upon request. Contact the office or any council member with

questions.

Kadesh News: Thank you to everyone that prayed and/or came to camp to

help with the aftermath of the giant storm that hit Kadesh. Damage was

done to the garages of both residences, the camp store, the Jungle Swing

and other program elements. Thankfully nothing was damaged that would

prevent camp from running. With the help of 50+ volunteers a huge

amount of work was done to move the fallen trees and get camp ready to

run on Sunday. The support of our larger camp community was felt. Thank

you, thank you, thank you to all involved. Even with the storm and power

outage we were able to run a great Ten Twelve Week; today we start with

Junior Teen 1. Pray for our speaker Kaitlyn Cey and for staff as they have a

fresh batch of campers (ages 12-14). We are praying that they will find

new relationship with Jesus. Thanks to those that volunteer, pray, &

give. Know that God is changing lives through the ministry of Kadesh.
