SECURITY DOOR INSTALLED
Thanks to an anonymous donation, we have a new security door located beside the elevator on the first floor. The purpose of the door is to keep anyone from wondering through the buildings without our knowledge. The door will be open during all congregational events, but it will remain locked at all other times. You are certainly welcome in our facility (to pray, visit the library, work in your classrom, ect.), but please come to the office and let us know you are here. The safety of our workers and volunteers is paramount.
STUFF THE BUS
Please help stuff the bus by donating school supplies for children in need. Communities In Schools of Wilkes is sponsoring this event. There will be a school bus parked between FBC and FUMC the weekend of Aug. 7 & 8 in which you may drop your donation or use the collection box located in the foyer of the church office.
THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT
Thanks for your generous donations of food for HOPE Ministry. You have blessed many Wilkes County folks!
CONGRATULATIONS
To Jerry and Brenda Cheek on the birth of their grandson, Camden Brooks Ward, born July 25, 2010. He is the son of Cindy and Nathan Ward. Our best wishes to all!

A Note From the Pastor
The name, Vacation Bible School, has always fascinated me. I guess it developed because VBS is traditionally held during the school vacation. So, while school is out, it is a good time to focus on Bible study. I don't think, however, that convenience of schedule is the only reason to call it VBS.
The name Vacation Bible School connotes the importance of Bible study. It's not that we are waiting on school to be out to study the bible, but that we don't take a vacation from Bible study. In fact, Sunday Schools predate many public schools. The importance of scripture has always been central to Baptist life.
Baptist, however, are not the only ones who value the Bible. By partnering with First United Methodist Church and North Wilkesboro Presbyterian Church, we are showing to our community the unity of faith taught in scripture. In fact, Jesus taught that our love for one another is how the world will know we are his disciples (John 13:35).
The leaders of all three congregations have worked very hard to make this year's VBS meaningful. There is something for every age group (see chart for times and locations) and every church is providing resources. I know I can trust our people to be faithful partners in this endeavor.
Here are a few things we can do to make this year's VBS one of the best ever. 1) Pray. Ask God to bless and empower our workers, participants, and congregations. 2) Participate. Volunteer to work or commit to attend each night. 3) Reach out. Contact everyone you know and invite them to this unique opportunity.
I am excited to be a part of such an important event. I appreciate all the hard work put in by so many. I hope each of us will recognize the importance of this time and do all we can to make it a success. Vacation Bible School is too important from which to take a vacation!
Nelson
