Mill Creek Baptist Camp is having its first Celebration Fundraiser on Sunday, August 21 to rejoice in what God has done at camp during this year’s camping season.

Every summer at Mill Creek is an unforgettable experience for hundreds of campers, staff members and volunteers, but there are hundreds more people who are a big part of Mill Creek. Many rarely get to see camp first-hand, so Mill Creek is inviting camp supporters, parents, alumni and friends out to camp for this event. The camp will be having a BBQ at 5pm, followed by a fundraiser which will include some highlights from our summer. It will be a great time to see old camp friends, make some new ones, and find out more about what has been going on at the camp this summer.

Everyone is invited to help Mill Creek Baptist Camp celebrate all the amazing things God has done this summer!

July 27, 2011 – Laurier Heights Baptist Church in Edmonton suffered extensive water damage on Friday July 22 when the church’s main water service burst in the backyard. The water pressure pushed up the cement floor in the church’s mechanical room, flooding the basement with about 20 inches of water. The water caused a gasline break and the furnace room suffered a small fire. The fire alarm went off and the fire was put out quickly. However, the church now has significant water damage in the basement, including a lot of mud and silt, and there is a huge hole in the backyard.
