Ready or not, here we come, Waterloo! Our crew is scurrying to get tools, workclothes and all the Workcamp essentials ready to pack the big cargo van this Saturday night. With a crew as large as ours, there are inevitable last-minute changes, and we've had a few of those. We're going to sorely miss Tim, Rachel and David, and we welcome back Lindsey, who was able to get back on board just this week.
If you're reading this, stop and say a prayer for Immanuel's Waterloo Workcamp crew- God needs to be at work guiding, supporting, strengthening and protecting us, and we value your prayers to that end. May He use each of us to build His Kingdom!

Departure Details!
We have just figured out exactly what's going to happen the weekend that Workcamp begins... mark your calendars now!
On Saturday, June 26th, we will worship together with our families at the 5:30pm service, and immediately following that we will meet in the parking lot and pack up our vans. This means that you will need to pack all of your clothes in your duffle, get all your tools packed in another duffle and bring them to church that Saturday evening.
After loading up, we will all go home and get a good night's rest, then be back at church at 6:30am Sunday morning the 27th. We will briefly meet with our family groups, sign our covenants, pray, then load up and depart. The only thing we'll be bringing on Sunday morning is our little travel bags and pillows for the road trip.
We'll go over all this at the final meeting on Monday, June 21st- if you have questions that can't wait, talk to me!
In Christ, Tom

Fundraising Shift Update
Our fundraising shift signups overflowed last night at the Workcamp Crew Meeting. Take a look at Fundraising Central for the current shift assignments, and note any of your on your family calendar. If you have not been able to sign up for your shifts yet, take a breather while we figure out what to do about this abundance of help!
Welcome Crew Members 55,56 and 57!
The crew meeting last night was lively and well-attended! We were able to build some bonds through questions and conversation among the parents, Workcamp adults and crew members. Additionally, we had 3 more registrations come in and we welcome first timer Beth, (Dale's cousin), second-timer Tim (would be third-timer but for a broken ankle last year) and veteran camper Kim, who is a first time adult this year. This leaves one spot, only because we lost Melissa last week to a summer internship, and that spot is verbally taken. Talk to me and I'll do my best to fit you in if you're not yet on the list!
