Community Wide Prayer Walk for Schools August 20
You are invited this Sunday, August 20, at 6:00pm for a community wide school prayer walk. Meet at the front door of each location. For Barclay meet at Phillips Hall and for Pratt meet at HS. Prayer walks will be taking place at Barclay College, Haviland Elementary School, Kiowa County, Pratt High, Liberty Middle School and Skyline. Prayer walking is just what it means. You walk while you pray. Prayers can be silent or out loud. You can walk by yourself or with others. If you are unable to walk, a group will gather at the church to pray for our schools. What a joy to partner with God in prayer! All ages are welcome!!!
HFC is hosting an Ice Cream Social with the Barclay Students on Sunday, August 27, at 7:30pm in the Barclay Cafeteria. We will provide the ice cream and toppings and serve the ice cream. If you would like to donate or serve ice cream please sign up at the welcome center in the foyer or let Traci know in the office.
Family Camp at Camp Quaker Haven is September 1-4.
The 2017 Women’s Retreat will be in Oklahoma City on September 22-24. If you are interested in going please let Traci know in the office.
Going away to college or the military can be a tough transition for kids. Todd would like to encourage HFC to stay connected to our students through prayer, letters and care packages while they are away. If you have a college student or know of one we might not have the address of please send names and addresses to the office. We will be printing the list soon for everyone.
Nursery Helpers Needed
It’s that time of year again, we are updating our nursery helpers list. We have three rooms that we like to keep staffed to help out all of the young families who attend our church: the infant and one year olds nursery (across from the office), the two and three year old nursery (downstairs beside the lady’s bathroom) and the 4-5’s preschool children’s church. The more volunteers we have the less often each person will need to serve. Ideally we need twelve sets of helpers for each room, which would give us a three month rotation. Please talk to Traci or KC if you can help.
We need a 3rd-5th grade girls Sunday School teacher starting August 27. Please contact KC Lingafelter or the office.
Please pray for the men’s ministry group that is traveling home from Colorado this Sunday.
Barclay College Adopt-A-Student Program: The college years are a crucial time in a young person’s life. Would you consider adopting a college student at Barclay College and encourage them for one school year? This is an opportunity for you to connect with a student and mentor them during this pivotal time of their lives. This ministry will not only impact students, but you as well, in seeing God working through you to make a difference in the life of a student. Adopting them includes prayer, encouragement, care packages, or even having them over for dinner! If you are interested, email Tiffany Van Dame at tiffany.vandame@barclaycollege.edu. Please sign up no later than September 1.
Several Barclay students cannot afford to go home during Fall Break (October 14-22). If you would be willing to host a Barclay College student(s) during this week, please contact Keith White at 909-257-6719 or email him at keith.white@barclaycollege.edu.
PRAYER CORNER
Youth Ministry
Haviland Friends Church has a strong history of growing and sending our young people into the next stage of life, understanding their Faith and God’s call. Please pray for discernment of the Holy Spirit as we balance the ministry needs of our youth with the resources of the Church.
Please continue to pray for Anthony and Micaiah Hughes and their family as they raise funds and prepare for their trip to Mexico. They are 90% funded (still need about $6,000.00)!
The Haviland Heritage Foundation is trying to locate all the children ages 18 years and younger in the Haviland area who are direct descendants of the seven members of the original town company. They were A. K. Kemp, R. D. Woodward, John Falter, Josiah Binford, H. F. Siler, B. H. Albertson and I. H. Woodward. If you have any information about these descendants, please contact Lori Binford at the Haviland State Bank (620-862-5222, binford@havilandtelco.com) or Jeanne Sneed (620-862-5448). We would like to include these children in the Southwest Thresher Show parade at the end of August. HHF also plans to host a fundraiser breakfast in conjunction with community garage sales on August 26; proceeds will go towards the completion of the Haviland Heritage Museum located in the Heart of America Science Resource Center. If you would like to donate your cooking talents, please contact Lori Binford.
