Camp FLC begins
Area youth have converged upon the Family Life Center to participate in the inaugural Camp FLC Summer Enrichment Program. This camp is an opportunity for students 8-15 to learn new skills, meet new friends and just have fun," states Camp FLC director Barbara Whitted.
Students get to explore their creative side with arts and crafts classes as well as dance, music and theatre classes. Sports and recreation also tops the list of fun things to  do. Campers may love a little fun in the sun, but they also stay on top of their school studies with continuous classes in math, English, social studies and science.
"This camp would not be possible without the help of the outstanding Camp FLC teachers," Whitted states. They are
Anitra Smalls, math, and V. Bassa, English: Grace Wyatt and Jessica McCants: Social Studies: Jennifer Blackiston, Sciences: H. Pettway-Thomas: and, Dance, Drama and Music: M. Lamar.
Although the camp has begun, enrollment is open. Space is limited. The cost is $65 per week. Camp FLC is a subsidiary of the Friendship Community Development Corporation. The camp is sponsored by Smalls Mortuary, Triple "B" Motorcycle Club, Rev Charles and Liz Owens and Home Depot, Samuel Jackson Funeral Home, the Browder family, Costco, and Sowing Seed Foundation.

VBS A Success
Nearly 150 children, youth and adults became special agents and a member of
God Squad after attending VBS June 4-8 at the Charles Owens Family center.
Attendees studied special agents in the bible such as Moses, Esther, Lydia, Nehemiah, and Phillip. Their journey reveals how God will always be our protector if we stay humble and follow His word, even in dire circumstances. The evenings were also filled with arts, and crafts,

"We're extremely proud of our FMBC youth and salute their accomplishments, states Isaac Peterson," scholarship chair. "It's amazing to watch these youth go from presenting their Easter speeches and attending Children's Church to become leaders in the church and community."
He further mentions that so many youth lose their way to bad influences and when our youth are doing positive things we must continue to speak positive
affirmations into their and
take every opportunity as a church to celebrate them. " We can't help everybody, but we can help our youth," Peterson elaborated.
The Brother-to-Brother (B2B) and Ball Scholarship fund is awarded annually to graduating high school seniors and made possible through generous gifts and memorials by members of FMBC.
Over $230,000 dollars have been awarded to deserving FMBC youth since its inception in the year of 2000.
The criteria to receive scholarships is based on grades, community involvement and participation in church activities and ministries.
Scholarships awarded will assist students with finances to purchase books, supplies, and other materials needed which are not covered by the college or university. The value of the scholarships vary according to returns on the invested funds and the number of qualified applicants.
Special thanks to the 2018 scholarship committee: Deacon Isaac Peterson, Carmisha Peterson, Alice Cowan, Marcia Westry, Labarron Evens, Kyenchasha Shelton, Rev. Charles Owens, Clarence and Charlesetta Ball.
