IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO
SPONSOR A CHILD FROM MPOLONJENI
If you want to continue making an impact to the community of Mpolonjeni in Swaziland, Africa, you have an opportunity to sponsor a child. Just $35 a month (a little over a dollar a day) benefits a child in this AIDS-affected region, along with his or her family and their community.

PRAY ABOUT IT
We are so blessed to have people each week to deliver meals to those less fortunate for the Soup Kitchen and on holidays for Meals on Wheels. Maybe you have been looking for a ministry to get involved in. This could be it. If you could give a few hours to help deliver meals, please contact Harvey Evans at 934-7994. It doesn’t have to be every week.

Make plans to be a part of the biggest beach blast of the summer! Outrigger Island will be in full swing July 14-18 at FBC Smithfield. We need lots of dudes and dudesses (that’s guys and girls) to make this beach party happen. Please contact the church office to sign up to help. We have had EASILY 300+ for the last several years. WE NEED YOUR HELP- from working in the classrooms to snack time, many volunteers are needed. Planning and preparation is in full swing. So pull out your baggy shorts, flip flops, flowered shirts and hit the beach with us for a week of fun in the “SON” during our week of Vacation Bible School, July 14-18.
