Your diaconate has been discussing the possibility of building a playground on the church property for our children to enjoy. We would like feedback from the congregation about this idea. If you are in favor of the playground, are opposed, or just have questions in general, please contact the deacons at deacons@christpreshamptoncove.org. We will be gathering feedback from the congregation over the coming weeks. We want to make an informed decision, so we very much appreciate any comments you have to offer. Thanks!
FCA Power Camp:
June 19th through the 23rd are the dates for the Madison East FCA Power Camp, and it is ALMOST HERE! This camp is a part of what FCA does all year long, and I get the privilege of being “lunch lady” again! It is such a sweet blessing being able to serve the kids who attend the camp as well as those who themselves are leading and serving the kids. For information on FCA and camp go to: www.northalabamafca.org/
There are many needs to feed 500+ people lunch every day at camp! We are asking first for prayers that hearts would be opened to hearing the Gospel and that lives would be impacted for Christ! As we know the Bread of Life is Christ, and we pray that above all souls would be fed! Also prayers for the staff as they prepare the many details in the last few weeks before camp. It is a huge job!
We have a wish list of needs for the kitchen area of camp :
Ice Cream Sandwiches
Popsicles
Gallon tubs of ice cream
Cookies, brownies, or any dessert!
Veggie Trays
Fruit Trays
Muffins
Granola Bars
Fruit Snacks
Ice Cream Toppings
If you are interested in providing any of those yummy treats let Erica McNeese know! Also, hands on help is needed! It is so much fun working alongside fellow brothers and sisters serving in the kitchen; one of my favorite parts of camp!! The time frame for volunteering for lunch each day is between 10am-2pm (there will be shifts, no one has to stay the full 4 hours unless they want to of course), and the Wednesday family night dinner. Volunteering in this area of camp involves setting up for lunch, pouring drinks, serving, clean up, and prep for the next day. If you are interested in volunteering in the kitchen or have any questions let me know! I am looking forward to seeing what God has in store for this year’s FCA Power Camp!!!! It is always a time of growth for both the kids attending and those serving!
