PRAISE & PRAYER
1 John 4:21
He has given us this command:  
Anyone who loves God must also love their brother & sister.
ITEMS FOR PRAISE
  1. We praise the Lord for a staff and board of directors who desire to see many lives touched by God at Spruce Lake. 
  2. We praise God that Wilderness Camp and Day Camp registrations are up.  Encourage your children and grandchildren to register as we are looking forward to an exciting summer at Spruce Lake. 
  3. God continues to move in our favor!  Last week Mark Swartley met with the Barrett Township Supervisors where they gave us approval to move forward with the construction of the Youth Activity Center.  We still need the approval of Monroe County and DEP which is in process but each day brings us closer to the reality of our vision for the youth of today and tomorrow.   Continue to keep this project in your prayers and continue to praise God for going ahead of us and preparing the way. 
  4. Praise God for all the summer staff He has provided.
  5. We thank the Lord for the 800 people that turned out for Open House.  The rain did not put off the dedication of Spruce Mountain. Praise be to God! 
ITEMS FOR PRAYER
  1. Pray for the Spruce Lake board and staff as we continue to seek God's direction for the ministry. 
  2. Please pray that God would prepare the hearts of the arriving guests for what He wants to teach them while they are here. 
  3. Pray for God to provide one new board member.
  4. Pray for Wilderness Camp as summer staff orientation started yesterday.  Pray that staff would spiritually be in the place they should be and be on board with positive changes we are implementing. 
  5. Please pray for volunteers for bus registration at Franconia Mennonite Church.  We still need some luggage trucks to bring kids bags to camp on Sundays & back from camp Friday late afternoons. Please contact Liz Reichart at lizr@sprucelake.org.
  6. Please pray that Joni & Friends will find the 5 volunteers that they need for week 2 of Family Retreat from June 25-30.  
    If you want to get involved or know anyone else that does, register online at:http://www.joniandfriends.org/family-retreats/for-volunteers/ 
We pray that you are growing closer to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 
 
In Christ,
