All-Ages Mission Trip

SW Good Samaritan Ministries

Los Fresnos, TX
August 11-14, 2010

We will take sacks of dried beans and rice to be repackaged into individual bags to distribute to those in need in South Texas and Northern Mexico. There is also an optional trip across the border to see the continuing work of the Disciples outreach.

Parents and grandparents, this is an awesome way for your children to see firsthand the work of ministry and to learn the joy of serving others in need.

We will stay in the Southwest Ministries dorms and the price will be very reasonable. You can see more about the Southwest Good Samaritan Ministries at www.swgsm.org .

Please contact Beth Gay, Outreach Co-Chair, at irisbethgay@yahoo.com very soon to let her know you are interested in going.

What an awesome way
to show God’s love to others .

Each Thursday beginning June 17
at 5:00 pm and continuing through
July, FCC will provide dinner to
those who are working to build the new facilities at Northwood Christian Church.

Reaching….
Outside Ourselves

Please bring all of your building material contributions to the garage area this week. A representative for Habitat will church will be picking up our materials on July 26. Sid will meet them about 10 am that morning. Thank you for your contibutions. Related to building, our team would like to thank Lynn and Mike Rodgers, who will be volunteering several days to help build the new facility at Northwood Christian Church.

Coming up is the Some Other Place Tasting on Tuesday, August 17, 2010, from 5pm-7:30pm . The tickets are $10 per person and are available through Beth or Bob Gay. There will be maps available for those who would prefer to shuttle to the Civic Center from First Methodist Church, First Baptist Church, or St. Mark's Episcopal Church. This is a most enjoyable way to spend the evening and also contribute to a wonderful cause. I hope you will all be there. Shortly, I will be asking for volunteers to help with the Tasting. Thank you in advance.
