Habitat House
Thanks to those who signed up to work at the Habitat House this Saturday, August 7, and on August 14. We still need a few good hands for the afternoon of August 14 and ten people for August 21. We also need volunteers to help provide food for the workers on August 21. We need a Sunday School Class or Small Group to help with this project. On September 18 and September 25, we will be doing interior painting, cabinets and trim. Thanks again to those who are becoming involved in this worthwhile project!
Central High School Back-to-School Breakfast
We will be providing breakfast for Central High School staff on Tuesday, August 10, in the CHS library. We are seeking monetary donations to help purchase bagels, donuts, juice etc. We would also appreciate help with the setup that morning. Donations can be made through the church office or the FLC. This would also be a good Sunday School project!
Central High School Mentoring Program
We have a new opportunity through Project Link-Up at CHS this year. Volunteers are needed to serve as a Link-Up mentor to support students who are part of that program. Mentors would be asked to send cards or emails of encouragement, take a favorite snack, and call or contact their student periodically. The intent is to provide a supportive adult to students as they begin their year at CHS. Call the FLC to participate.
Reminder
The activities in Faith at Work are intended to list opportunities to serve others. We especially ask that all members and participants be in prayer for the various activities and mission opportunities that occur each week. We also ask that you select opportunities you can support so that everyone can be involved in mission opportunities from time to time. Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us…
Romans 12:4-6
Edwin Hodges Literature Collection
Just a reminder: as we finish with this quarter’s literature, please place your books in the Faith at Work bins so they can be shared with others. Janice Emge is the contact person for this project.
Charity: Water
As part of our expanded missions program, Central Baptist Church of Fountain City started a collection to help improve the health and well-being of the people of Central Africa by working with charity:water (www.charitywater.org). The funds were used to construct a clean, well-water source and provide mosquito netting to help prevent the spread of malaria. We reached our goal of $6,000, which helped cover the cost of one well and mosquito netting for over 150 people. Thank you for your generosity.
