Tuesday, August 6, will be the first Youth Prayer Breakfast at Bettys.

We will meet as usual around 6:45 AM and have the students to school on time. I am looking forward to being with our youth. I am looking for a few good men. A wheelchair ramp needs to be built. The supplies are ready and the plans are drawn. All I need are the men with the knowhow. Call me to let me know if you can help. The time will be arranged. We are enjoying a week of vacation and will be back in the office on Monday, 29th. My thanks to those who are filling in for me while I am away. Calvin Brownhill preached on Wednesday evening, Jerry Pollock led the prayer time and Eldon Eckard will be preaching for me on the 28th. Thank you! There will be a called business meeting, Wednesday July 31 to receive Nominating Committee Report and conclude business of Conference of June 19.

SAINTS ALIVE TO SHARE

In preparation for starting another new year of the SAINTS ALIVE CHOIR, lets sing in the evening worship service on Sunday, July 28. Gather in the Choir Room at 6:15 that night as we rehearse: The Longer I Serve Him, one of our favorites from the Bill & Gloria Gaither program we did a few short weeks ago. Bring a friend and wear your green Saints Alive shirt and khaki pants/skirt. Well look good and sing great for the Lord that evening!

Child Registration I am asking every parent to complete a registration form for every child in his/her home. Registration forms will help keep our office records up to date, introduce your family to your child's Sunday School teacher and help me create a email list so I am sure to reach you with all that is happening in our Preschool and Children's Ministries. Forms can be found on the church website at www.fbcbainbridge.com. Simply hover over "Mininistries" on the top menu bar. Then hover over "Children on Facebook" and the "Child Registration" option will appear. Be sure to include your email address!

We have had a blast this summer traveling on all our trips and being able to experience everything from spreading the Gospel and love of Christ in Haiti to sharing the same things to the children in Memphis, Tennessee. The youth group has grown close this summer over Merge Mission Camp, Wednesday nights, and Chaos trips. Its been an awesome experience for me to be able to intern this summer and being around the kids and seeing them interact with each other as brothers and sisters in Christ. As the summer comes to an end, I hope that while I am in New Orleans I will be able to call back home and hear that the FBC youth group is still a close knit family, and are sharing the Gospel with friends at school and maybe even have a few new believers in the group. I also have loved seeing kids from the Rivers community hanging out with our youth and attending on Sunday and Wednesday services. I pray that FBC will continue to love them as Christ would and make them feel welcome in the House of God that we have the pleasure to worship in. I hope every one has an awesome school year and First Baptist Youth Group will always be in my prayers. Thanks For the Awesome summer, Nolan Lovering

CHANCEL CHOIR
Just a summer reminder to the Chancel Choir to join us this Sunday morning as we share LET IT RISE, in the 11 AM service. This upbeat medley surely lifts up the Lord in praise and worship. Meet in the Choir room at 10:45 and get back up to speed! A note of thanks to Tammi Godwin for filling in for me while Dian & I were away for a few days of vacation visiting friends and family down in Florida. Thanks to Sonia Brownhill for playing piano for the Wednesday Prayer time, BARACA Sunday School Class and 8:30 worship time for Dian. We are blessed to have such gifted musicians to assist us in our absence.
