ANNOUNCEMENTS
VBS Begins Monday!! Please continue praying over this outreach opportunity! Volunteers, please meet up at 5PM in the sanctuary.
Volunteer Goodies We would greatly appreciate GRAB-N-GO sweet or savory snacks this week for our amazing VOLUNTEERS. Donations can be dropped off in the kitchen.
VBS MISSION PROJECT
The Missionary: Francklin (shown with his wife Nerlie) was appointed as a missionary with Missions Door in 2006 to serve as the youth and children’s ministries coordinator. He works with the pastors of churches that are associated with Missions Door in Haiti, helping those churches develop children’s and youth ministries.
The Project: For many children in Haiti, the cost of education often hinders them from attending school and receiving an education. Your support to the Haiti Children’s School Scholarships project is an opportunity to provide a child with the gift of continued education. All gifts given to this project go directly towards paying for school fees.
The Numbers: Cost for 1 Child to attend school for 1 year is $355.00. This amount includes the entry fee, monthly cost, and school supplies including uniforms.
For more info: www.missionsdoor.org/missionary/alexis-francklin-and-nerlie/
NO JR Kids Church NEXT WEEK! We will all be in the sanctuary for the VBS Closing Ceremony during the 10:30am service.
Fellowship Fund Giving Opportunity In following the biblical directive to take care of our widows and orphans, FBC created the fellowship fund. This fund not only blesses those financially hurting in our church family, but also those who desire to invest in their marriages. If you would like to give, please note “Fellowship Fund” in the memo of your check or on your envelope.
