Happy Fourth of July!

Hello and hope you are enjoying your 4th so far. I just wanted to remind you about the picnic tonight. The community is invited to join in the food, fun and fellowship. There will be hot dogs with all the trimmings, games for all ages and maybe even some fireworks! Come and bring your lawn chair or blanket and celebrate this Independence Day the old fashioned way. The festivities begin at 6pm on the grounds of North FBC.

The youth are back from camp and will be sharing some of their stories with us Sunday evening, July 8th at 6pm. I remember when our youth group went to camps and such.....we had so much fun. Those were the good ol' days! Brings back lots of good memories. Come and show your support of our young people this Sunday night!

There will be a Youth Committee Meeting Sunday, July 8th in the gym (time to be announced).

SNAC (Sunday Nights After Church) will begin Sunday, July 8th. There will also be a youth outing to "Whirlin Waters Adventure Waterpark" on July 20th. Details are to be sent out soon.

There will be a Children's Committee Meeting Sunday, July 22nd in the gym (time to be announced).

TAN (Tuesdays at North) are being held every Tuesday in July from 10am to 1pm. Come out and join in the fun! This is a day camp designed for children grades 1st through 5th. They will be doing all sort of fun things like games, fun lessons, songs, crafts, and are even having snacks! If anyone would like to help out with this activity or wishes to donate items to the cause, please see our Minister of Students.

There is also a Child Protection Policy in the works. I think this is a good idea. This will allow us to better serve our children and protect them in this day and time. Things have certainly changed from when I was growing up and we all need to be cautious. Change is never easy, but with the cooperation and understanding of everyone involved, it is sure to be an easier transition. There will be a meeting that will cover these changes and implementation. Please be in prayer about this as the goal to aiding in the protection of our children is met.

Please take a few minutes during your 4th of July celebration today to remember those serving in our Armed Forces, both here and abroad. Many of them are separated from their families today and are making the best of the situation. I pray that God will keep them all safe and bring them home safe and sound. I also pray that the needs and prayers of their family members will be met as God sees fit. We don't always have to understand and know the reasons behind the things God does, we just have to know that they are always in our best interest. He loves us and wants the best for us. I hope you have a safe and blessed holiday! Much love to you and yours this Independence Day!

Love in Christ,

Tina :-)
