FAMILY LIFE CENTER
Children’s Choir Musical
Sunday, June 7 - 6:00pm
Charming and witty, this superb children's musical
captivates the heart through its memorable melodies and
humorous dialogue creatively telling the story of Elijah.
From his confrontation with Ahab and Jezebel through his
journey in the desert, Elijah shows his faith in the God
who provides. Concluding with one of the most dramatic
moments in the Old Testament, Elijah asks God to send
down fire upon the altar at Mt. Carmel. There, the people
of Israel see the power of the true and living God.
ICE CREAM SUNDAES
Following the musical… kids will celebrate their
production and parents will get some valuable
information about the summer, including details about
Backyard Bible Club and Vacation Bible School.
(ICE CREAM FOR KIDS AND PARENTS!)
First Baptist Church has been selected to host
Operation Blood Drive for Haywood County and
all counties west. Operation Blood Drive is the
largest blood drive of the year in Western North
Carolina. During summer months, donations of
blood decrease while the need for blood actually
increases. Each year, WLOS-TV13 sponsors
this effort to replenish blood supplies. The
goal for the FBC portion of this blood drive is
100 units! This is an incr edible outr each
opportunity for our church and YOUR HELP
IS URGENTLY NEEDED! In order to help
save lives by meeting our donations goal, we
need volunteers to help with registration; to
help in the “canteen” area; and to help pick up
donated food items. We do not have a lot of
time to fill these positions so PLEASE CALL
THE CHURCH OFFICE TODAY (456-9465).
THANK YOU!
Transforming Prayer...
From Dr. Prince...
Sharing Christ’s love...
We had a great response to our “Catch Up, Double Up”
offering last Sunday! We received more than $26,000 in our
offering, which is far more than we normally receive on a fifth
Sunday! I’m grateful for the way in which our congregation
responded to this appeal. If you weren’t here last Sunday or you
haven’t had the opportunity to participate, you still have time to
be part of this special effort. Please make you special offering
sometime in the next few weeks.
Waynesville Middle School Partnership...
This coming Sunday, June 7 will be Youth Sunday. On
this Sunday, our students will lead us in worship in all three of our
worship services. Youth Sunday gives them a special opportunity
to exercise their spiritual gifts and grow into church leadership.
Dan Smith, our Minister to Families, does a great job leading our
students, and he’ll be working with our students as they lead us on
this special day.
On Youth Sunday, we’ll also recognize our high school
graduates. This year, we have a number of seniors who’ll be
moving on to other things next year. Please be sure to offer them
your love, prayers, and congratulations!
Soon school will end for the summer, and our Wednesday
and Sunday evening children’s ministries will take a summer
break. But a lot of important children’s ministries will take place
in the next couple of months! Among them are Backyard Bible
Club and Vacation Bible School. In Backyard Bible Club, we’ll
go to neighborhoods in our community where there are lots of
children, and hold a Bible club experience. We hope that many of
these children will attend our Vacation Bible School.
As we look forward to these summer children’s ministries, I ask you to do several things. First, pray for our children’s
coordinators, Myra Clemmons and Emily Fleenor, along with our
volunteer workers. Second, pray for the children and adults we
hope to reach through these ministries. Our priority is on reaching
people who don’t go to church. Pray that we’ll be able to reach
people we aren’t reaching. Third, volunteer to help in these
efforts. If you can’t volunteer, try to give a little extra in your
offering this summer to help pay for these ministries.
See you Sunday!
Robert

OVERNIGHT TRIP!
This summer, “Let’s Pack the Pantry!”
Our church made a commitment many years ago to assist Haywood Christian Ministry’s Food Pantry by collecting pasta on the first Sunday of every month. A few
months ago, we changed our collection items to “staples,” such as flour, sugar,
cornmeal, rice, macaroni, noodles, dried beans, etc. instead of canned pasta.
Thus far, we have only collected a couple of bags of sugar and flour. Let’s join
together in this local mission effort and bring one of the above items on any
Sunday during the summer! We can make an impact in the number of people who
are hungry. We are not collecting for WMS, so let’s double our efforts for HCM!
