Summer is flying by. School starts August 10! Is it the dog days of summer yet? I know the hottest month for us is still to come. Not much rain has come our way, so we can’t complain about mosquitoes! What a blessing that is, but rain would be wonderful.
There are still a lot of activities going on at FBC. Nineteen elementary age youngsters and six adults enjoyed church camp June 10-23, at Texas Baptist Encampment in Palacios. Bible study, prayer time, kayaking, swimming, sports, good food and fellowship filled up their days and evenings. They returned to POC to a big welcome from friends and families.
Ten middle/high school students are spending July 11-15 at Camp Zephyr on Lake Corpus Christi. This is another awesome adventure for those who went. Both groups work hard all year to raise money so everyone’s able to go for free. Many generous donors contribute to the fund as well. The cost for each one attending either camp exceeds $200. God is always good and there is never a shortage of funds. No matter how many sign up to go, they are covered. It is a very important time for our youth. God worked in many hearts at both camps and several accepted Christ as their Savior. John1:12 “ But for all who did receive Him, who believed in His name, he gave the right to become children of God”.
On June 26, we celebrated our January – June birthdays with hamburgers and all the sides and desserts we could hold. Fun, fellowship and good times were the gifts we all shared. Don’t miss the next one on September 25, 6:00 pm.
Samaritans Purse Shoe Box ministry is in full swing now. We have started filling the boxes, but supplies are still needed. Come be part of this tremendous project. Help fill boxes, donate items or money and most of all pray that each that receives a box sees God’s blessings and goodness in the contents. Galatians 6:9 says “ Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
We are waiting to welcome you. There is always room in God’s house.
