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.

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.

HISTORY TIDBIT
With a loan of $2,000, the sanctuary was remodeled so it could seat 300 comfortably and a two-story, free standing wooden Sunday School annex was built. This took place between 1916 and 1918 when H. B. Brinson was pastor.

MUSICAL OUTING FOR ALL AGES
Thursday, July 19th the All State Baptist Youth Choir will sing a concert in Duke University Chapel at 7:00 p.m. A group will depart Smithfield at 4:00 p.m., eat supper on the way and return afterwards. We will drive personal vehicles. Church vehicles will be on the Mission Trip. Call the church office to sign up.

WORLD CHANGERS
World Changers will be in Smithfield next week, June 23-30. Please be in prayer for all those traveling here from up and down the east coast to work in Johnston County.

ON MISSION TO AFRICA
On Friday, June 22, we leave on our Mission trip to South Africa and Mozambique. We will return on Friday, July 27. Many thanks to all of our family and friends who are supporting us in this endeavor with prayer and funds. Because of your Christian love for us and for those in need, we have raised over $16,000. After paying our travel expenses, we will have at least $7,000 to contribute to the needs of the residents of the village Dondo in Mozambique. Please pray for us and for those that we meet that we will effectively spread the word of God and his love, grace and salvation. In Christ, Lam Armstrong, Hinton Armstrong, and Adam Carroll
