School 7 am

All planned events must be scheduled through the church office to ensure there are no scheduling conflicts.

The value of children in God's eyes is like a most

treasured arrow in a warrior's quiver and hands, Psalm

127:3-5.The question is, "Do we treasure children as a

church the way God does?" If we do, we'll make

extraordinary efforts towards the investment of ourselves

to reflect God's heart? I was reminded of this in our

Session devotional shared by Gary Fox.

We're re-igniting the engines of children

outreach through VBS. They will be an important part of

the future and hope of FFCPC. The church has set aside

the necessary monies. We've set a goal of 20 children.

Now, we need the people resources to see it through. If

you sense the Spirit's nudging to volunteer as an

investment in the children and their families and the

future of FFCPC, sign up to help us. We need more

volunteers to make VBS a success. A list is located on

the narthex table. If you have questions, please ask. Oh,

and by the way, that warrior who treasures children like

this is God Himself, Exodus 15:3. Let's join Him in the

battle for their hearts by making our VBS a great

success.

Christ in Every Heart, Pastor Greg

Baby Bundles Update We delivered two additional Baby Bundles to Cherokee

Health Systems on Tuesday, June 5. The folks there are

so thankful for our involvement with the Baby

Bundles. In addition, we introduced the idea to a

possibility of her women's group participating.

We have received two letters of thank you from mothers-

to-be who have each received a baby bundle. If you

dozen workers, and of course, a few of us will join them,

i.e., the Ladies Lunch Bunch, and whoever else wants to

go. We are providing pulled pork barbeque and the

fixins. If you would like to help with food or help to

Gideons Card Ministry The Gideons International, founded in 1899 in

Wisconsin, is an association of Christian business and

professional men and their wives dedicated to telling

people about Jesus through sharing personally and by

providing Bibles and New Testaments. While they are

known worldwide for their work with hotels, they

predominately share Scriptures in schools and colleges,

prisons and jails, hospitals, and medical offices.

The Gideons have a card ministry that we would like to

share with our church. You may donate Bibles in

someone's name through this ministry. They have a

wide range of cards including sympathy, get well, thank

you, in memory, pastor appreciation, birthday,

recognition, and encouragement. We have placed a card

Tennessee. Now they are awarding scholarships to a

total of 58 young men and women per year who are

trying to get out of the poverty cycle.

If you would like to be a participant in this program, they

are looking for help in two areas.

• First, they are looking for donations for these

scholarships. In addition to the 4-year

scholarships of $2500/year per student, they

supply them with a computer and printer to get

them started. Donations may be sent to Mission

of Hope, P. O. Box 51824, Knoxville,

TN 37950.

• Second, they are looking for mentors for each of

these students. If you think you would like to

twice a year, our Noisy Offering is donated to

Donate Your Eyeglasses!!

Do you have a few pair of old eyeglasses

just sitting in a drawer, taking up

space? Why don't you donate them at

church. We have a collection box in the

Narthex. When the box is full, we donate

those to the Farragut Lions Club. These

glasses are taken to a recycle center and then

the recycled glasses are distributed to people

in need in low and middle income

communities where they will have the

greatest impact. If you have any questions,

please contact Frances Poore at (865) 599-
