The Bucket List

I don't know how many of you (if any) have seen the movie with Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson called "The Bucket List". I just finished watching it and spent the last 13 minutes of the movie in tears. It is a great movie with superb actors and if you haven't seen it, I strongly encourage it. Some of the language is a bit colorful, but the moral of the story is worth the watching.

Please be in prayer for my uncle and my brother this coming week. My uncle is in the hospital in Myrtle Beach awaiting a triple by-pass on Monday (6/23). My brother is having knee surgery on Tuesday (6/24). I pray that God will keep His guiding hand on those performing the surgeries and that His glory is seen through it all.

We also need to be in prayer for our youth as they embark on their summer camp next week. They will be heading to SummerSalt on Monday, June 23rd and will return on Friday, June 27th. There will be a special service next Sunday night in which we will learn of their adventures and accomplishments for the week. There will also be an ice cream social as part of the evening worship hour. Everyone is invited and encouraged to attend!

SNAC (Sunday Nights After Church) will take place immediately following the evening worship hour/ice cream social. All youth are welcome to attend.

Our children have some exciting things taking place in July. They will be heading to Santee for Santee Mission Week the week of July 7th through July 12th. Then they will have a day camp the week of July 21st through July 25th. For more information on either of these activities, please see our Minister of Students.

And parents, don't forget to check out the student ministry blog for updates on youth and children's activities. The website address is: www.fbcnsm.blogspot.com.

There will be a Women's Conference at Phillips Arena in Atlanta, Ga. on Friday, June 27th. If you or another lady you know wishes to attend, please contact the church office for more information.

It is my understanding that our church is collecting life boxes for the men and women serving in our Armed Forces overseas. Items needed are: lifesavers, money for postage, wipes, CD's (and I will have a more complete list soon). If you or someone you know has a friend or loved one serving overseas, please let us know. We want to make sure we include them in this ministry as well.

I have recently been told there would be a July 4th celebration coming up. At this time it is scheduled for Monday, July 7th. I will post more information as soon as I have it.

Until next time, take care and God bless!

In Christian Love,

Tina :-)
