The Gypsy Choir from Boldesti-Scaeni, Romania
Emmanuel Baptist Church in
conjunction with Precious Life
Ministries will be hosting The
Gypsy Choir from BoldestiScaeni, Romania. They will
be ministering at Emmanuel on
Saturday, July 30 and Sunday,
July 31! This unique group of
young adults (ranging in age from
18-37) have been singing together
for six years. Under the direction
of Eduard Teodorescu, they will
bring a large repertoire of music
to Emmanuel, ranging from Italian Opera, Romanian hymns and worship songs, some traditional Roma
music and even some English songs that you will recognize.
You will not want to miss this musical extravaganza. Their musical expertise in only surpassed by their
Christian character and commitment. All of these young adults are either employed or in school. Joined
by their pastor, Viorel Oprisan, their great desire is to raise some funds to return to their village and
build a new church with a medical clinic in it, in order to minister to their gypsy community. Two of the
young women are nurses and one is finishing her medical degree and they plan on working in their new
facility.
They will also be ministering at Faith Chapel on Sunday night (July 31st) and Memorial Baptist Church
on Monday night (August 1st). It’s ok to hear them twice, because they will probably never be this way
again!

RUN HOME CAMP
This July 18-22 , FCA will be hosting the Annual Run
Home Camp for abused and neglected boys, ages 912. Run Home Camps brings hope, healing, and
honor to local children through a week of positive
memories that hopefully lasts a lifetime. For this
special week, the boys are treated like All-Stars!
They learn baseball and are celebrated as individuals with a special birthday party and a trip to a ballgame. For many of these boys, this will be their first
time attending a baseball game.
By the end of the week, the boys will have experienced a loving, Christian family environment and
will have had the opportunity to run home to their
Heavenly Father. The hope is that these boys will
store their camp memories deep within their hearts
and hold on to the One who holds on to them.

The Gallery has been all about the artist this year. Not that its
about them but the gifts that God has given them, each new
show has been focused on the work of just one artist. The year
began with the paintings of Gary McClemens. The most recent
show to depart was the inspirational photographic/graphic design work of Mark Polaski (814.823.5762). Mark is from the
Johnstown area and received a Bachelor’s of Fine Art in Applied
Media for Edinboro University. The newest show is by artist
Sandy Vigna. Painting since the age of 12
she paints mainly on wood. Self taught,
Sandy would say, “her technique has its
roots in tole painting”. God has also lead
her to have bible verses incorporated into
her art, “ as a blessing to us and to our
