Next Sunday is Barnabas Sunday This is an opportunity to help our Area Food Bank. Please place your donations of canned fruit in the basket in the foyer. If making a monetary donation, make checks out to Danville Area Food Bank.

Children’s Bulletins are available each Sunday at the back of the Sanctuary. Please pick up a flier by the children’s bulletins this morning that tells how you can use the code given on the bulletin for safe online fun at home.

With Summer officially here, kids may likely be watching more TV. Parents and grandparents can make sure they have quality programs to watch by signing up for “Right Now Media”. Please contact the office if you would like to sign up for this FREE site with hundreds of programs for kids and their families.

If your children have enjoyed Children’s Church recently, new volunteers are needed to keep it going through the months of June and July. If you can help, please visit today or next Sunday to see what happens and talk to Lorna Griffin or Sonya Dudinskie if you need further information.

A trip to the GAiN Warehouse is planned for June 16. All are invited to go along. The day will be spent packing food, clothes, school supplies and medicines. The bus will leave the church at 7 AM and return around 8 PM. A sign-up sheet is on the ramp bulletin board. M & M tubes are available at the Information Desk that you can take to fill with quarters to help purchase supplies for this project. Please return all tubes before June 16.

Please stop by the Tract Rack to check out free bookmarks, tracts, and new “Daily Bread” Devotional books for the Summer months.

CONGRATULATIONS to all who have finished all 7 units now required for all volunteers working with children & youth. There are still packets available on tables in the foyer and downstairs hallway.

Please check above the coat racks downstairs for things that may belong to you. All remaining items will be donated by June 10 if not claimed!!

There has been some interest expressed for the start of a community garden here at First Baptist Church. The intent is to donate the produce to our local food banks and any surplus would be divided among the volunteers. If you are interested, please add your name and contact information to the sign up sheet on the bulletin board or write ‘community garden’ on the bulletin connect card.
