Camp Agape

Camp Agape will be held at Christmount this summer July 2-7, 2018. This camp is for rising 5th and 6th graders who could not afford to go to a summer camp without our help. Costs for campers and counselors are $225 each week. If you can help, please donate through FCC, with a notation for CAMP AGAPE, as funds need to be received by June 20th. You may also donate: camp-appropriate clothing, shoes (closed-toed), and socks (wool) for kids ages 10-12, as well as soap, shampoo, sunscreen (30+), bug spray, toothpaste, toothbrushes, combs, hair brushes, hair ties, and water bottles.

Crisis Control Ministry

My fellow Christians!  Crisis Control Ministry is requesting for the month of May SALTINE AND SNACK CRACKERS.  There are several different kinds available so whatever you choose will be fine. Statistics show one in every four residents are in need of food assistance every day in Forsyth County. Why crackers? They can help the hungries go away. The request is  simple this month; please continue to be generous.  Place your gifts in the white bin in the Education Wing hallway.

Youth Happenings!

Hello all and Happy May!

During April, we studied Jesus' Sermon on the Mount and learned ways that we can apply Jesus' teachings to our lives. We worked in the garden, played outside, and fellowshipped at our Spring Lock-in!

This month's theme will be Pentecost -- not only will we learn about the Season's significance in the history of the church, we will also talk about ways that the Holy Spirit moves in our lives today. To facilitate our discussion, we will look at four different stories from the Gospels and Acts where the Holy Spirit was present: Baptism of Jesus (Matt. 3), The Holy Spirit at Pentecost (Acts 2), Jesus and Nicodemus (John 3), and Jesus Comforts the Disciples (John 14). 

We are looking forward to Camp July 8-13. If you are interested in  sponsoring a youth who has limited financial means to go 
to camp this year, you can write YOUTH CAMP in the memo line of your offering envelope. 

Peace,
 
Kaitlin Mundy
Youth director
