PRELUDE – “Where You Go I Go” by Brian Johnson and Jon Mohr
WELCOME & CALL TO WORSHIP –
“Sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him. The LORD has made his salvation known and revealed his righteousness to the nations. He has remembered his love and his faithfulness to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music; make music to the LORD with the harp, with the harp and the sound of singing, with trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn – shout for joy before the LORD, the King” (Ps. 98:1-6).

AFFIRMATION OF FAITH – The Apostle’s Creed
We believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth.
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried. He descended into hell and on the third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Contact koinonia with questions.
Our regular Sunday gathering won’t happen in Chicago this week. We will be having it at the Streator Baptist Camp in Streator, IL.
Even if you can’t make it to the whole retreat, you can still come for the Sunday service at 10:45 AM. It just takes about 2 hours to drive there.
After much anticipation, the Annual Immanuel Summer Retreat has finally arrived!
We will meet up at Streator Baptist Camp this Friday, July 18 [i.e. TOMORROW]! You should follow the directions below in THIS email…not the ones on Google or you may end up lost!
The first event will be a bonfire Friday night with marshmallows and hot dogs for roasting!
Activities will start full-force Saturday morning!
For those who have never been – the camp provides bedding and towels! But be sure to bring anything else you may need (toiletries, clothes, swim suits, beach towels, tennis shoes, jackets, frisbees, etc).
The suggested donation is $85/adult and $15/child (for children old enough to eat the food provided at the camp). Checks can be made out to IBC and given to Cyndi at the retreat.
If you need a ride or have a spot in your vehicle to spare, email Cyndi ASAP.
Directions:
From Chicago:

Take I-80 West to Mile marker 90 at Route 23.
Go South (left) 13 miles to Leonore Rd.
Turn West (right) and go 5 miles to East 12th Rd.

The format this year will be like a TED Conference. We have several different people from church slated to give “the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes or less).” The talks will be interspersed with shorter presentations, including music, performances and comedy.
The overall theme is “Why Does That Matter?” Here are the topics that will be addressed:
“Why Do Cities Matter?” – Nathan Carter
“Why Does Diversity Matter?” – Daniel Deurbrouck
“Why Does Liturgy Matter?” – Ryan Christie
“Why Does Missions Matter?” – Phil & Tracy Ennis
“Why Does Evangelism Matter?” – John Rood
“Why Does Work Matter?” – Andy & Vivian Sapthavee
“Why Does Ecclesiology Matter?” – Peter Ferris
“Why Does a Confession of Faith Matter?” – Mike Erington
“Why Do Gender Roles Matter?” – Nathan Carter with Sarah Ferris
“Why Does Preaching Matter?” – Nathan Carter
And of course there will be group games and bonfires and hay rides and hiking and sports and free time…
We would like to video record all the talks and create a web page afterward for people to access. We need someone with the skills and equipment to be in charge of videography. If you can do this, please email Nathan ASAP.
