VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL

Vacation Bible School is back – and it’s for all ages! Mark your calendars for July 24-28 from 5:45-8 pm (optional supper at 5pm) for intergenerational fun and learning as we explore models of peace in the Bible. You’re in store for great Bible study and activities that will engage body, mind, and soul!

Grade-schoolers (rising 1 – 5 grade), youth, and adults will have age-grouped Bible study and electives that cover the gambit of various art mediums, movement/recreation, and music while preschoolers (birth – rising K) will enjoy Bible stories, music, crafts, and recreation within the preschool suite!

Follow this link and register no later than July 6. Electives will fill up on a first-come/first-served basis, so sign up now! Also, be sure to make reservations for supper if you wish to come. Hard copies of registration are available at church. If you have any questions, please contact Lynn.
BLANKETS FOR THE CLOTHING MINISTRY

Our grade-schoolers made a no-sew blanket on Sunday during Sunday School as they talked about Paul and Barnabas going from city to city to tell others about Jesus. We’re hopeful that it will provide a soft place to lie on or be a warm cover for one of our clothing ministry guests!   
SAVE THE DATE

Mark your calendars for our summer variety show and ice cream social! This fun evening of entertainment and inspiration will showcase the multi-faceted talents of the FBC community. Join us on Sunday, August 21, at 7pm for one sweet hour of entertainment celebrating summer with gratitude, grace, and laughter. A social with homemade ice cream will follow, and childcare will be available. More details coming soon!
HECK-JONES OFFERING

As we welcome June and the beginning of summer, I am reminded of the welcome that is provided to refugees in our city through the ministries of Welcome House. Refugees find open arms and hearts as they begin a new life free from war and torture. These services are more important now than ever with the continuing war in Ukraine.
Our hearts are saddened and we wonder what we can do. Kim and Marc Wyatt, CBF Missionaries, know what to do; but they need our offerings to keep their houses open and their services to continue. Fannie Heck and Sallie Jones, FBC members in the 1800’s, knew what to do as well; but they needed financial help from our congregation to do their work. Please give generously to this offering that was named in their honor as we do our part to meet the needs of those around us. In addition to the Welcome House, this offering will also go to our continuing partnership with Habitat for Humanity. Every gift helps no matter how big or small. Together we can make a difference in the lives of many.
- Nancy Moore Phillips, WMU President
JUNE MISSION PROJECT

In light of the ongoing baby formula shortage, we will collect a supply for Catholic Parish Outreach to give to their clients. Only milk-based formula is needed — not soy-based. Any brand is acceptable and any type (ready-to-feed, mix-with-water, powder, or liquid) is fine. Please place your donations in the marked drawer of the cabinet in the Lewis Lobby by the end of June.
CLOTHING MINISTRY UPDATE

The Clothing Ministry reopened to the community on Monday, June 6. As always, you may leave your donation bags in the bin by the parking lot doors. It greatly helps our volunteers if you can label your bags by gender and season. We are in desperate need of men's spring and summer clothing, so we would appreciate your help spreading that word to the community! Thank you for your continued support of this ministry.   
JULY CHOIR PLANS

Like to sing? Like to have fun with a group? Like to try something different occasionally? Try singing with the choir for a day.

This summer, the Sanctuary Choir is moving practices to Sunday morning and invites you to join them!

On each of the final four Sunday mornings of July (July 10, 17, 24, & 31), our choir will gather at 9:05am for a 40-minute rehearsal of the music for that day only. Each week will be a different "one-and-done opportunity," as we prepare fresh music for presentation in that morning's worship. We'll pause for breakfast foods and Sunday School or more fellowship. After Sunday School, we'll reconvene to warm up and put on the finishing touches. Whether you've been in choir before or would like to join us for the first time, this is the chance for you! For further questions, email Warren.
