Say hello to New Communion's New Intern!
Victoria is a rising senior at Wake Forest University studying Politics and International Affairs, and English. Though she misses her hometown in Florida, she is excited to be interning at New Communion this summer through Wake Forest's Summer Nonprofit Immersion Program (SNIP). Through this program, Wake students are placed in different nonprofits in Winston-Salem in efforts to gain an understanding of the issues affecting the community, as well as the workings of a nonprofit. Upon graduation, she hopes to have a positive impact on these communities by working in the nonprofit sector. She will be spending most days working at FCC and would love to get to know everyone!

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.

Youth Happenings!
Hello all and Happy June!
May was an exciting month for th
e youth of FCC. We are looking forward to the end of school and the fun activities
w
e have planned for summer!
During the month of June, our theme will be
Transition
. We will look at how different Old Testament characters dealt with change (for better or worse!) and talk about how we can apply those lessons to the transitions we go through in our own lives. The stories we will focus on will be the Bitter Water at Marah (Ex. 15), Saul's jealousy of David (1 Sam. 18), Jonah preaches at Ninevah (Jonah 3), and Joseph's time in prison (Gen. 39-40).
We are looking forward to
camp at Christmount July 8-13!
VBS is Aug. 6-10.
If you are interested in helping, please let me know!
Peace,
Kaitlin
