Memorial Day Clothing Drive |
 |
 |
 |
|
In conjunction with the First United Methodist Church, on Memorial Day, we will gather at First Christian Church to collect and bag used clothing to take to the Methodist Church for their Memorial Day Weekend Used Clothing Drive. They do this in cooperation with the Seventh-day Adventists and whatever other churches and organizations and individuals want to participate.
They will open the depository in the Activity Building of the First United Methodist Church in Johnson City from 9am-5pm Saturday, May 26th and Monday, May 28th, and on Sunday, May 27th from 1pm-5pm. The clothing will be loaded onto a truck and trailer of a group from the Seventh Day Adventists' who take it all to a warehouse in Alvarado, south of Dallas.
At the warehouse, the clothing is sorted, sanitized (a step beyond just cleaning), and packaged for shipment to the next disaster where used clothing is needed. This is much better than trying to pull together a clothing drive after a disaster, when it is usually too late to do any good.
If you cannot make the Memorial Day date, the doors of First Christian Church will be open the Thursday before, May 24th, to accept used clothing. Ernest will be there to take your donations. |

Vacation Bible School 2012 |

It's time for Vacation Bible School 2012! Our theme for this summer is "Backstage with the Bible" by Go Fish!
Mark your calendars for Monday, July 9th-Friday, July 13th from 6:00pm-8:00pm.
Pre-registration will be available online starting in May.
At a concert, the only thing better than a front row seat is a backstage pass! Kids are always very curious about what it’s like to go backstage. Each day the kids will start out with their own ultimate “concert” experience worshiping and singing with the Go Fish Guys. Then they’ll take their backstage passes to go backstage, tour a recording studio, and most importantly, learn about the Bible!
Learning the books of the Bible, the ten commandments, and how to be saved by grace through faith are just a few goals with this Vacation Bible School. Our desire is to clearly present the gospel of Jesus Christ while having as much fun as humanly possible. It’s time to put the BIBLE back into Vacation Bible School! |
