FOI Welcome Picnic-This Saturday

Yesterday (Monday), there were about 80 new students at the International Student Orientation at KSU. Add to that the 70 new students at SPSU's orientation last Friday, along with all the returning students from last year, and we have lots of opportunities for friendship and the Gospel before us! We are anticipating that many of these students will come to our FOI WELCOME PICNIC this comingSaturday, Aug 20, from 4:30-8:30 pm.

Location: "Liberty Park" at Liberty Church. (Directions: Going south on Hwy 41, Liberty Church is on the right side, about 1/2 mile south of Barrett Pkwy, just before you get to Bells Ferry Rd. Look for all the flags flying!)

This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with some students and begin a friendship. This is also the time when we invite them to participate in our investigative Bible Studies.

Basic schedule:
4:30 pick up students at SPSU and KSU
5:00 cookout at Liberty Park
Group mixers and games to connect Americans with int'l students
8:00 clean up and take students back home.

HOW YOU CAN PARTICIPATE:
Pray . . . for Holy Spirit-directed connections with students and for many to sign up for the Bible Studies.
Come . . . bring your family and build some new friendships for the sake of the Gospel.
Transportation . . . to and from the universities. (We need several cars/vans and drivers.)
Provide FOOD (please bring to the Friesens' home by 2:00 or to Liberty by 4:00).
-- The Liberty Church folks will be providing the burgers & dogs, buns & condiments, paper goods.
-- The CBC folks will be bringing chips, salads, & some desserts.
-- All the rest of us (including SGCers) have been asked to bring DESSERTS(either cookies or brownies) and DRINKS (either cans of soda or bottles of water). (If it is easier for you to contribute $10 for the drinks, we would be glad to purchase them, since we'll have to do some shopping for other things anyway.)

If you are planning to participate in any of these ways (or if you have any questions), please let us know. Thanks so much!

Trusting that our labors of love will bear much fruit for our great Savior,
