Inside: Youth are at camp, one more CPR class, DEFY trip next Wednesday, QCC and Honduras team report Sunday night and more!
The youth are having a great time at Look Up Lodge Camp this week! We are looking forward to hearing more from them when they return!
Next Wednesday, our kids (age 4- completed 6th grade) are going to Defy in Augusta! This event requires an RSVP by Sunday, July 16. Please contact the church office or email Christy (ctarver@fbcthomson.org) to sign up!
There is one more CPR and first aid class left for you to attend. This is for everyone in our church who works with nursery/preschool/children's ministries. We want everyone in our church who works with kids of any age to complete this training. The cost for certification is $25 (but you can still take the class even if you don't want to pay for recertification). [Bonus: They will also cover adult CPR!] You can contact the church office or fill out the connect card on Sunday to sign up.
Next Sunday night we will have our quarterly church conference at 6:00 PM. Be sure to come so that you're up-to-date on all that God is doing in our church. We also will get to hear from the Honduras team about the work they did in early June.
Go ahead and mark your calendars for Friday, July 28. We are excited to welcome the Tribute Quartet to our church. Admission is free but we will receive a love offering for them. We hope that you will come enjoy a night of gospel music with us.
Saturday, August 5 we will be packing baskets to take to Safe Homes in Augusta. We can always use more help! If you're interested in helping, we will start at 10:30 AM in the craft room.
This year, we are trying something a little different...Christmas in July! The season leading up to Christmas each year is provides so many opportunities for giving while July doesn't have nearly as many. In an effort to spread things out, we are moving our Operation Christmas Child shoebox collection to July.
On Sunday, July 30 we will have our collection Sunday. Boxes will be collected and prayed over as a part of our service that morning. In addition to that, you can also pick up items for shoeboxes and drop them in the blue mission bin in the atrium. At 4:00 PM on July 30, we will have a packing party and pack shoeboxes with those individual items you have collected.
