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.

There will be a fee for the crafter's space (to be determined) and all money made by selling crafts is the crafter's. Proceeds from the selling of spaces will go to one of the missions of the church. If you would like to participate please contact Judy Gillespie at 336- 602-2430 or 336-817-3403. More information to follow as date gets closer.

Crisis Control Ministry
Crisis Control Ministry is requesting for the month of June ANY KIND OF CANNED MEAT SUCH AS SALMON, TUNA, BEEF, OR HAM. These items are healthy and full of protein. They can be used in many different ways to make a wholesome meal. Please choose a few cans or packages the next time you shop for your family. Together, we make
a huge difference.
Bring what you can to share. I have said many times, the more we share, Crisis Control Ministry can use their funds to help with other life-sustaining needs.
We all feel blessed when we share with others.
Becky Minnix,
Missions Ministry

Youth Happenings
This month, the FCC youth group will celebrate Joyful June! June is a month where many of the youth experience both the high stress of exams and the welcome relief of summer break. One thing that remains consistent through all of this, though, is the joy of knowing that we are in constant relationship with God and God's creation.
One of scripture's most effective reminders of this consistent relationship with God comes from the Psalms. That is why we will spend each of the four Wednesdays in June studying four different types of Psalms: for Thanksgiving, Psalm 136; for Lament, Psalm 44; for Wisdom, Psalm 37; and for Praise, Psalm 145.
Starting on June 17th, Emily Hall, a student at Wake Forest School of Divinity, will serve as the intern youth director for 10 weeks while Kaitlin is heading up Creative Palooza's summer camp. Emily is from Eastern Tennessee and has worked with youth and children in the past at St. Timothy's Episcopal Church. She has already had a chance to meet many of the youth, and they are looking forward to a summer filled with fun and fellowship!
If you would like to know how you can support the young people who make up the FCC youth group, feel free to contact Kaitlin at kaitlin.mundy@gmail.com or text (828) 713-2570.
Peace,
Kaitlin
