Camp Agape
This year we had 30 campers from economically challenged or broken homes. The children were given a church camp experience through the love and generosity of Christian Churches in the Central District of the region. Our campers had a wonderful time thanks to the gifts of the churches which chose to participate by sending money, campers, clothing and other necessary items. The 30 campers who had completed the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th grades shared this camp experience with 6 counselors. We continue to have some counselors who were former Camp Agape Campers. This year a work camp from FCC Shelbyville, Indiana presented early morning devotions and led group building games and crafts. Thanks to the following churches that sent campers: Antioch Christian (3), Salem Fork, Dobson (8), and Winston-Salem, First (19). A special thank you to everyone that made arrangements for our campers to come this year, and thanks to Connie and Charlie Hance, Hazel Wilmoth, and Phil Royall who drove campers to and from camp. Be sure to check out pictures from this year's camp at www.facebook.com/campagape.christmount.

Crisis Control Ministry
Dear Friends!
Even though our temperatures are in the 90's, Crisis Control
Ministry is getting ready for the cold weather that is just around the corner. For the month of September, they are requesting GRITS AND OATMEAL be given by the local churches. These are
inexpensive items so add as many as you can to your shopping cart. I believe you will be "warmed" by your own generosity.
Becky Minnix,
Christian Action Ministry

New Initiative For New Communion
Our New Communion Mobile Market And Pantry is tasked with providing food for bodies and love and compassion for souls. Now we would like to provide nourishment and nurture for young minds!
We will begin right away to collect children's books to give away to little ones who accompany adults to our distribution events. Donations ranging from baby board books to chapter books for older children will be much appreciated. Collection boxes will be located in the Education Wing between the restrooms as you enter the building and also in the narthex of the sanctuary. Please contribute new or gently used volumes and help to foster literacy and bring joy to a child!
We can arrange to pick up books if you are unable to get them to the church. Just call the church office at 336-722-2714 or comment on this post, and pickup will be arranged. Also, if you know of a source for free and/or inexpensive children's books, that Info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your support of this new project.

What a summer! Many of our youth spent the summer volunteering and working with the kids at Palooza. Their compassion, patience, and dedication to those children served as an excellent representation of our church community and what it means to be the hands and feet of Jesus.
Their hard work has inspired our September theme: "Reflection."
As we reflect on our summer experiences, we will reflect on what it means to be a part of a church family, what it means to live as examples of Christ, and what it looks like to spend time in quiet contemplation with God each day.
Our theme verse for this month is Matt. 19:14 -
Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
If you would like to know how you can get involved with the youth group, please email Kaitlin or call her at (828) 713-2570.
Peace,
Kaitlin

PINC
To those interested in renewing our PINC (Partners In Christ) meetings, please respond in an e-Mail.
In your answer, please relate the following answers:
-
Your level of interest
-
Evenings that you
Cannot
meet
-
Types of activities that interest you
Our goal is to meet together and get to know each other in a more personal way. In sharing various activities, I think we accomplish that in a very Christ-like way.
In the past in addition to opening devotionals (when appropriate) we have performed several service projects - Valentine and Easter Baskets for seniors, Preparation of eggs for our Easter egg hunt,and help with fund-raising projects of the church.
In addition we have prepared items for sale to raise funds and had sale of donated items.
We have also participated in fun activities such as movies, bowling, art and wine parties, and dinners out. We also had interesting speakers for our meetings as well as instructors for arts and crafts projects.
Your response to this message is important in deciding the future of PINC.
