Vacation Bible School is
coming quickly, June 10-14. I have
listed the workers and schedules at the end of this e-news. Be praying for the workers and students as
they plan for the week. We are looking
forward to seeing the Lord move in a great way and many come to salvation
through faith in Jesus. By the way, it’s
not too late to volunteer as a worker in VBS.
Contact Kristina Hall or Rhonda Ethridge for more information.
Have a blessed week:
Bro. Tim

Parents - As the school year ends and summer begins, please
be reminded and remain aware of the value of faith-based summer reading for
your child's spiritual and academic growth and success. Our FBC Children's,
Tweens' and Teens' Library collection is updated, varied, and extensive. See
the bulletin board near the library for more information (including a
soon-to-come list of titles grouped by interest and grade-level
appropriateness). Put on your sunglasses (that bright green paint is not
getting any dimmer!), and stop by the church library with your child.
7. Michal Deaver and Anna Maxwell will be traveling on
mission to the Dominican Republic on two separate mission trips with SCORE
International. Anna will be
participating in a Sport Team in July 2013 and Michal will be a part of a
