Next week Mission Serve will be in Johnston County. 110 participants will be here from up and down the east coast for their “Mission Trip.” This year Mission Serve participants will be housed at First Baptist in the Preschool and Youth Rooms. They will arrive Sunday afternoon to prepare for their week ahead. We will have two shower trailers brought in for the week. Each evening (EXCEPT Wednesday) at 7:00 p.m. worship will be held in the Sanctuary and everyone is invited to attend. Our own Bryan Harris will be the Proclaimer for the week. Tommy Cook has been the Associational Coordinator who has worked with Mission Serve throughout the year to put this Mission event together for these young people. Please be in prayer for these participants as they travel and as they come to minister to others here in Johnston County.

YOUTH NEWS NEED MISSION HOURS?
Are you going on either Mission Trip? Do you still need mission hours? Come help in the Soup Kitchen on Mondays. Please contact Boo Reynolds at 938-0639 or Geri Hubbard to get on the calendar. You may also get hours for making desserts for us to serve.

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.

FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE SEE OR CALL TOMMY AT THE CHURCH.

CASWELL SHARE TIME
Everyone is invited to join us this Sunday, June 22, during Early Worship at 8:45 a.m. for Caswell share. You will hear testimony from youth who went to Caswell this week. We will also have a slide show of our week during the Sunday School hour.

Drivers Needed
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.
