NEWSLETTER:

          Last Day of school is June 4^th. We hope our children have a fun summer. Remember Sunday school is still in session. We still look forward to seeing all their shining faces each Sunday. Oh by the way, Summer officially begins Monday, June 21^st.

On the 6^th is the Church Council Meeting in the fellowship hall. There will also be a Baby Dedication Ceremony during the morning service. Pray for this family and the commitment they are making for their child before God.

Sunday, June 13^th is the monthly business meeting, after morning worship service.  Be prepared with any questions or suggestions that you may have.  The meeting is to pass along information on church business and to see direction in our church ministries.

Also on the 13^th, at 2:00 pm, is the Gospel Singing Convention. This is a good time to join with other churches in our area to praise the Lord in song. Converse FBC is the host this time, so come join in the singing.

Sunday, June 20^th is Father’s Day. There will be no evening service so our members can spend time with their fathers and families.

On Tuesday, June 22nd, the “Busy Fingers” sewing group from WOM will meet from 10:00am until 2:00pm.  There is a WOM meeting at 2pm after the sewing time. The ladies have been working hard on collecting quilting scraps to make throws.  If you have any quilting scraps, please donate them in the blue box in the foyer.  If you are interested in helping, come to the church on the 22^th, or see Beckie or Alice.  We invite all ladies to be a part of WOM meeting and to be a part of making throws.

The Summer Lunch Outreach starts 11:00 am-1:00 pm, Tuesday, June 22. We will serve every Tue., Wed., & Thu. thru August 19^th. This is the program that helps children ages 1-18 receive a meal during the day. For many of these children, this will be the only meal they receive in a day. Volunteers are needed to help with basics like distributing food, setting up and cleaning up a site—they also plan and do educational or recreational activities with the children. Shirley Shepard is the coordinator for our church, so contact her to volunteer.  

On June 25^th Tami Sanders graduates from Wayland Baptist University with her Master’s Degree. Congratulations Tami.

Let’s invite friends and neighbors to come and eat supper with us on Wednesday nights and we will buy their first meal with us.  Please remember to pray for all of our brothers and sisters in Christ, our church, our community, Camargo orphanage, our men and women in arm services, and also the lost souls that we may or may not know.  We hope to see you all Sunday morning.  May God bless you and your families!
