Today we had our BBQ funraiser, hosted by our home group. Many others came to help. Thank you for your gift of time. It was a success! We had to run to the store between the service to get more food!

We raised just under a thousand from the sales.

NExt weekend we will be in Red LAke, where Phil grew up, saying good-bye to family and friends.

August long weekend will mark our last Sunday at COTR. We plan on being at camp yet and we'll head off on the 13th of August.

Thanks for your prayers for peace, safety and health.

We will miss all the great people God has brought in our lives through COTR. Come see us!

Well, there is now less then a month left before our anticipated departure date. Our home group is helping us again this week end fundraise for our moving expenses.
We are SO BLESSED to have faithful friends to stand alongside us at this time.

Many people are asking how they can help.
Prayer is always needed. We are more tired out by the mental stress of the preparations then the preparations themselves!
We don't have to do much packing as the man who bought the house is planning to use it as a recovery center for women and wants all the furniture, linen, dishes etc...

-Phil is working at getting is class 4 drivers.
-We need to tie up all our business activities.
-There is some work to do on the house yet before possession.
-We will need to empty the garage and haul stuff.
So people with trucks or hitch and trailer to take a load away would be greately appreciated.

The best way to reach us is to call Phil at 295-2488 or Sophie at 297-9480

See you on Sunday!
Sophie for the Ramers
