YOUTH NEWS CASWELL….IT’S HERE
All youth and adults going to Caswell will meet Monday morning, June 18th at 9:00 a.m. Please take your luggage to the U-Haul and hold on to anything you wish to take with you on the bus or vans. After your luggage is loaded, check in at the entrance to the Sanctuary with Paul Burgess (girls) or Emily Ward (guys). Parents please make sure all balances are paid. We will return by lunch on Saturday, June 23rd.

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.

THANK YOU
I want to thank everyone who helped with our Relay for Life. Those who gave money, donated food and supplies, and those who came to the college and helped with our concession booth were greatly appreciated. I could not have done any of this without your help and the guidance of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May you all be blessed by this as I have been blessed. Thanks for everything. Carolyn Jones, Team Captain

BABY SHOWER FOR TEEN MOTHERS
Back in the spring when we did Operation InAsMuch we had planned to do a Teen Baby Shower. Due to the amount of time it takes to plan and gather all of the items needed for this project we were not able to do it then. We’re ready now! We’ve partnered with Social Services and have the names of 15 teen moms that really need our help. We need help gathering the essentials and a few non-essentials to help get these babies off to a good start. Also, we will shop for you if you would like to make a donation for the shower. We need 15 of each of the items listed below:

The babies need:

• Size 1 diapers
• Baby wipes
• Bottles
• Bottle nipple refills
• Baby wash and lotion
• Diaper bags
• Burp clothes
• Pacifiers
• Any new or gently used baby items (i.e. playpens, bouncy seats, car seats, etc.)

The moms need:

• Deodorant
• Soaps
• Lotions
• Feminine hygiene products
• Shampoo
• Conditioners

Please drop off your donations by or before July 3rd in the church office. If you have any questions or can help in any way please contact Susan Culbreth 965-9141.
