Crocodile Dock begins TOMORROW! Please stay after second service today to help turn First Free into a bayou! Lunch will be provided.

HOST A NEW ARRIVAL FROM CHINA
New graduate students from China are arriving in late July -August to study at the U of MN. They need a place to stay for several days while they find regular housing. China Outreach Ministries is looking for people willing to open up their homes in this way. Your participation would mean a crucial first impression of America and, often, of Christian faith. This hosting involves providing temporary housing, arranging daily transportation to and from the U of MN's campus, and providing breakfast and supper. If you are interested or would like more information, please contact Bob and Joanne Kraftson with China Outreach Ministries at rjkraftson {at} embarqmail.com or 651-437-6806, Cell: 651 303 7683.
