Upcoming Mission Opportunities
June Churchwide Mission Project
This month, the church is collecting school supplies for students at Hollis Elementary
School. Supplies needed include: notebook paper, #2 pencils, spiral notebooks,
boxes of tissue, markers, crayons, rulers, Fiskar scissors, instant hand sanitizer,
glue sticks and bottled glue, 3-ring binders of various sizes, and book bags.
Please place items in the containers located throughout the church.
The Youth
Ministry will continue to collect operating cell phones, less than fours years
old, to be
either
recycled
or reconditioned and then donated. Not only will you benefit from less clutter,
someone in the US or abroad who cannot afford a phone will benefit from the donation.
The youth will benefit by receiving funds for their Germany mission experience
this summer. Please deposit your phones with batteries intact (no accessories,
please) into the containers located throughout the church. For more information,
contact Gina Brock at 370-2424 ext. 133 or gina.brock@firstbaptistgreenville.com.
