Announcements Acres of Diamonds Camp Sponsorships
WAVS Seattle-Area Event
The Deacons are sponsoring four kids to go to camp through Acres of Diamonds —a charity we support as a church.
In efforts to reconnect
Hope for Homeless Women & Children Whether through their own choices, injustice perpetrated by another, or a combination of both, all the women who come to Acres of Diamonds are looking for a second chance. They have committed to grow in the four core areas of personal development our program focuses on—relational, spiritual, communal, and self. For the kids in these families, healing starts with a roof over their head and feeling safe. Once they feel safe, they can begin to experience what it feels like to be a kid again. It's not an easy journey and there are challenges and hurdles. Through Acres of Diamonds' Summer Camp, kids have opportunities to heal, play, learn, and grow in fun ways—helping to break the patterns of homelessness and broken relationships. Sponsorship makes this kind of healing possible, and the Deacons have decided to sponsor four kids in this way. If you would like more information about this program, contact one of our Deacons (listed on back page).

Getting Connected We encourage you to get connected with a community group for fellowship and mutual support. It is far too easy to simply come to church on Sunday and then slip out. We want to get to know you better, so join us! If you would like more information about any group, please contact the Church Office.
Cadets (Boys grades 3-6) The goal of Cadeting is to help boys grow spiritually in all areas of life—devotional, mental, physical, and social. The Cadets are currently on summer break, and will resume in September. GEMS (Girls Everywhere Meeting the Savior), a club for girls in grades 3-6, meets during the school year on Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. Our activities include Bible lessons, praise/ worship, badges, crafts and other fun things. The girls are enjoying summer break, and will meet again in the Fall. MAC (Made Alive in Christ) MAC Junior High students meet together most Wednesdays during the academic year. Come join the fun at 7:00 p.m. in the Multi-Purpose Room. We've concluded our year, be we will see you in September! High School Youth Group During the school year, we meet on the first and third Sundays each month at 6:00 pm. We have a meal together and get caught up on each other's lives before learning about discipleship in Christ. We are done for the year, but look forward to a new year together in the Fall.
Couples' Club (for Couples of All Ages) This groups meets one Saturday evening per month from October through May. We are currently on summer break, but we look forward to seeing you in the Fall. If you would like to learn more about this group, you may contact the Church Office. Men’s Bible Study The Men’s Bible Study meets most Monday evenings at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Room. We will continue to meet during the summer months, focusing on 2nd Timothy. Women's Morning Bible Study Meeting from September through May on most Thursday mornings, we gather to study the Word and encourage one another. We've now concluded the year, and will be enjoying a few months off during the summer. See you in the Fall! Women’s Evening Bible Study The Women's Monday Evening Bible Study has wrapped up the year of studying Colossians and Philemon. After a summer break, we will reconvene in September. We look forward to reconnecting then and starting up a new study!
Grow Groups (Adults) Grow Groups meet once a month in various homes every third Sunday from September through May. Now on hiatus, we look forward to seeing you in September.
Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. Hebrews 10:24-25 (NLT)

Shoreline Christian Reformed Church is a gospel and grace-centered
community learning how to follow Jesus. We belong to a broader community called The Christian Reformed Church. What does this mean? We call ourselves… Christian… Because we belong to Jesus Christ and want to be his followers.
Reformed…
Church…
Because we’re part of the historic branch of the Christian church that follows the teachings of the leaders of the Protestant Reformation, who struggled to return Christianity to its biblical roots. Because God has called us to be a fellowship of his people in the world.
