Summer is going by way to fast! Next week First Baptist Church will be having VBS at Gibsontown Ministries at 6:00 pm each evening. They have lots of exciting things planned for the week. I know everyone will have a great time learning about Jesus.
Monday, July 29th will the collection day for school supplies at First Baptist Church. School supplies will be bagged appropriately by grade and taken to Gibsontown Ministries for distribution on Friday. Last year over 250 students received a bag of supplies to start the school year with. Several area churches help with this and we are so grateful for everyone's efforts! We want to thank each church in advance for helping with this project! Thank you First Baptist Church for everything you do through Gibsontown Ministries!
Also on Friday, August 2nd we will be receiving donated items for our Rummage Sale on Saturday, August 3. This will be our Back to School Rummage Sale for the community offering mostly children's items. Items will be priced low for the community. Check out the Rummage Sale tab for more information.
The first full week of August we will be distribution shoes and new socks to kids in the Gibsontown Community who have pre-registered. This is being sponsored by Indian Springs Baptist Women's Ministry. Last year over 75 pairs of new and gently used shoes and new socks were given away. Thank you Indian Springs Baptist for you continued support of this ministry!
Thursday, August 8 Bible study classes will start back up also known as Diapers and Devotions. The classes are at 11:00 am and 5:00 pm. I know some Bible study teachers that are ready to get back to teaching God's word and learning together. This is a great time to start attending as a new study begins. Those that attend are offered a limited number of diapers or toilet paper. Child care workers are always needed.
Please pray for this ministry as we continue to press forward doing what we believe God has called us to do in the Gibsontown community. Lives are being changed by the power of Jesus Christ. To Him be all the glory!
People, with lives changed through the power of Jesus Christ, building a thriving community.
