SUMMER CAMPS

for the different age

FAMILY CAMP
...is Friday-Sunday,
June 12-14, at the
Helena Lions’ Sunshine Camp in Elliston.
What Can We Know About the Future?
Mankind’s interest in future
events is legendary. Having a
built-in curiosity, our hunger
for prophetic knowledge is notorious. As a result, many so called
prophets have tried to satisfy that hu-
man hunger. And as can be expected,
this has grown into a multi-million
dollar business! Even though many
are charlatans who know the tricks of
the trade, they still remain in great
demand.
We are planning a Prophecy Summit for August 30th-September 2nd.
I feel led of the Lord to preface this
conference with our own timely
Summer Prophecy Series which
will begin Sunday, June 7th. In contrast to much prophetic teaching today, our study will be different because it will be Bible based. The information we share will be
reliable because it is divinely
inspired! As we will discover, one of the many proofs of
the accuracy of Scriptural
predictions is the large number of irrefutable fulfillments that are recorded
within the pages of God’s
Word. This gives us confidence that those yet unfulfilled will come to pass exactly as promised.
Here is a Series Preview
(not a complete list of messages):

Subject: “Prophecy—What Can
We Know About End Time
Events?”
 Textbook: the Word of God
(this will be a textual approach,
and each subject study will be
directly linked to specific Bible
passages).

Topics:
 The Rapture—The Next Great
Event on God’s End Time
Timetable
 The Judgment Seat of Christ
 The Rise and Fall of the Antichrist
 The Great Tribulation
 The Millennium, Paradise Found
 The Great White Throne Judgment
 Heaven—Our Eternal Home
 The Last page in the Bible
 Approach:
 Accuracy
 Clarity
 Balance (we will approach the
topics in a calm, careful, discerning matter)
 Practicality
 Goals:
1. To gain a new appreciation for
prophetic truth
2. To give comfort and hope in
these perilous days
3. To help change our priorities
and the way we live. *After all,
this is what God’s Word is designed to do!
“Looking for that blessed hope,”

HELP OUR KIDS
With various summer camps coming up,
we have lots of students who are looking
to earn a little extra money. Here a couple ways in which you can help them earn
the necessary camp fee…


Garage Sale—It’s time to clean out
your closets, basement, and garage!
And to save you the time and effort of
selling your unwanted stuff, we encourage you to donate it to FBC for a
camp fundraising sale on Saturday,
June 6th. See Heather Pegram if you
have any questions.
Pancake Feed—On Father’s Day
(Sunday, June 21st), we will cancel
Sunday School and begin our annual
pancake feed at 9:30 a.m.
All proceeds from both events go to the
students, so we ask that you donate generously.
HELPING THOSE LESS FORTUNATE
At least once a year, Friendship donates benevolence funds to the God’s Love
Shelter downtown. We thought we’d share the latest letter from the director,
Ann Miller. It will give you some insight about a great need in our community.
FAMILY MOVIE NIGHT
On Saturday, June 20th, we invite you to
join us at 6:00 p.m., at the church, for
some Father’s Day Weekend fun. We’re
planning a family movie night complete
with theater snacks. Bring the whole
family and enjoy time together watching
the movie “Courageous.”
FAITH PROMISE UPDATE
We’re happy to announce that our 201516 FAITH PROMISE COMMITMENTS
total $72,337.60! We’re thankful for the
families who have partnered with FBC to
see the Gospel go around the globe. On
Sunday, May 17th, we held our annual
missions business meeting and look forward to another year of partnering with
our missionaries.
SANCTUARY CHAIRS UPDATE
Due to the strike of longshore workers
and the shutdown of a textile mill, our
chairs have been delayed by two months.
While frustrating, it could turn out to be
a blessing through a discount offered on
the finished product. Thank you for your
patience in waiting for the final step to
finishing our new sanctuary.
AWANA TRAINING
There will be training for AWANA
workers during the month of August on
Wednesday nights from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m.
not a fan.
The definition of a fan is an enthusiastic admirer. Is that how you define your relationship with Christ? An
“enthusiastic admirer?" He was looking for followers. Completely. Committed. Followers. Maybe you’re
ready to join those who’ve stepped
across a line and said: I‘m not a fan.
Join us at 7:00 p.m., on
Wednesday nights through June
17th, as this adult study looks at
the difference between being a fan
and a completely committed disciple of Christ.
“Dearest Friends:
“The time is going so fast, I can hardly believe it is May already. I will be 73
next month, so I am happy to still be doing what I love, which is having the
privilege of serving the poor and homeless and having four of my 17- and 18year-old granddaughters staying with us for the summer. Three are graduating in June and one is in college. What fun!
“My life is very busy
from January through
April, as annual reports
are due on our five programs, and grants for the
county, United Way and
HUD must be written.
We are very grateful or
the help from these
sources, but they involve
time and attention. I feel
very free right now!
“From time to time we
see some of the Vietnam
veterans and the old train
tramps coming to visit us.
They really were self-sufficient for the most part, but they suffered from PTSD,
and, as all of us, they needed to be loved. They are old friends. Many have
passed away or settled down into apartments, but one came by last week in a
big white truck and he has a 5th wheel. He still travels around, but now he
does it in style!
“We are still seeing many homeless men and women. We are insisting that
they try to find employment, job training or social security. Many just seem
lost, and they are all ages—from 18 to 80. the job market actually seems a lot
better, so many are having success in that area. If they are fortunate enough
to get a job, we help with transportation, clothing and encouragement, and
they may stay longer to save money.
“Please continue to help us with prayers and financial contributions. Every
month you are helping about 89 men and 20 women with 3 meals a day, shelter, laundry, and clothing. May God bless you and may you have the best
summer ever. Please remember: Jesus paid the price to be your best friend.
Trust Him.
