THE LOWLY PENNY
As most of you know our youth are sponsoring a village in Swaziland, Mpolonjeni, Africa, one of the hardest hit areas by AIDS. One way that we are trying to raise funds is to collect pennies every Sunday before and after worship. If you would like to bring your pennies (other coins will work, too) our youth will be glad to take them off your hands. Please help us “stretch” our pennies to reach out and touch this village.

NOMINATING COMMITTEE
The Nominating Committee has begun to meet. This committee has two goals to achieve.
1) To identify servants for ministry for the upcoming church year, September ‘07- August ’08
2) To present to the church a completed report confirming the names of those serving in various ministry areas for that year throughout our church.

THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN WITHOUT YOU!
Please be considering your top three choices for ministry through our fellowship. You may not always be able to serve in your first choice but there are more than enough opportunities for everyone to join in. Being a part of God’s work through our church is not simply an option; it is vital for a developing faith and essential for meeting needs in our community. Christ died for you; make a commitment to serve for Him. God has given every believer a gift. We all need to serve out of our giftedness. Everyone has something they can bring into the ministry mix at FBC.

For ideas on where you can serve please see the current Nominating Committee Report on our web site (www.fbcsmithfield.org).

Please contact any member of the Nominating Committee if you have a question or are interested in serving. Gayle Bizzell, Dan Evans, Evelyn Garris, Bryan Harris, Billy Wiggs, June Ward, Joyce Wright.
