Mission Hero 300
June 15, 2013
Guy Priester

Church family at FBC, it is almost that time of year again when the Senior Adult Ministry calls on everyone to help us celebrate Christmas in July. In just a few short weeks you will see Christmas trees, decorated by Senior Adult Sunday School classes, throughout the church. In years past, we have had the privilege of visiting and distributing your gifts to at least six area assisted living facilities in our community. The residents have always been so appreciative of your generosity.

 

This year, through much prayer and after observing projects such as Wounded Warrior, we have decided to support our troops who are putting their lives on the line 24/7 for you and me, through a project we are calling Mission Hero. Over half of the military men and women we will be supporting are from our state of Georgia. For security reasons, we are not able to get individual names.

 

So this year for Christmas in July help us support our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan with Mission Hero. 

 

Elements of Mission Hero

 

Sunday, June 30, is our kick-off to purchase items for Patriot Packs which will contain helpful items for combat troops stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Requested items will be listed on tags attached to Christmas trees throughout our campus. A Flag Bag will also be available at the trees to be returned with your gift by Sunday, July 14.

 

Blessing Books

The Blackaby Experiencing God Day-by-Day camouflage devotional, will also be available in Senior Adult Sunday School classes for $5.00. When purchased, you will have an opportunity to write a personal note of encouragement on the flyleaf.   If you have an active military friend or family member that you would like to send your book to, address cards will be available. A flag lapel pin will be our gift to you for your support.

 

The following is an excerpt from one of the Blessing Books by Henry Blackaby.

 

"In times such as these we are praying that you will rest in the assurance that the 'I AM' of the universe is always present with you. His presence will be sufficient for all of the circumstances of your life. And His desire is to always reach deep within your heart and say, 'Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.'" Isaiah 41:10

 

The Senior Adult Ministry thanks you in advance for your participation and looks forward to seeing many flag pins throughout our campus in the days ahead!
