May Happenings!

Hello! Are you ready for hot weather? It’s going to be a hot weekend coming up! This is the month
that we are going to Camp Linden. If your child is signed up, please fill out these forms and return them
to me. You can bring them the day of the trip. I was under the impression that we would be staying
two nights. I misunderstood. We will be staying Friday night only. We will leave Friday afternoon
and probably arrive back home around 5:30 Saturday afternoon. I can continue to take the $25 fee
until the time of the trip. We would like to leave the church around 3:30 on Friday. If I need to make
arrangements to pick up your child, please let me know. They are hoping that it will be warm enough
to swim this time. Please make sure they have a one piece suit or a t-shirt to wear over it. They might
need 2 towels. Tennis shoes would be needed for all other activities, especially hiking.

We are continuing to prepare for VBS. It will be June 25-29th. Please make plans to attend. We are also
making plans to attend an air show in Savannah on June 2nd. This will go with our Amazing Wonders
Aviation theme in VBS. There will be more details on this trip soon. The VBS kickoff will be June 20th at
our church.

Please remember our Homecoming (decoration) at our church is May 27 th.

Any questions, contact me.
Thanks,
Lisa Hopper

He Lives! He Lives!

take the time to remember what Jesus sacrificed for us. We had a great time at Bible Fun Field Day (at Linden) and our Egg Hunt. We enjoyed the resurrection story from Dr. Huggins, hunting eggs, (except the melting chocolate) and petting the baby bunnies. The attendance was great; thanks to all who came and participated. In the month of April, we have our fundraiser spaghetti supper on the 18 th at 6:00 p.m. Come help us raise money to pay for camp. I will be accepting the $25 fee the whole month of April. If you pay by check, please make it out to Unity Baptist Church. We also have our Youth Revival April 25-27. Please make plans to attend. Hunter Callis will be bringing the message each night.

Hello! What a great summer we have had! We started the summer off with Children’s Camp at Linden Valley and had a great VBS Big Apple Adventure! We are going to wind down the summer with a Back-to- School Swim Party at Kenneth/Gina Twyman’s house. This is for grades K-12. It is August 6th from 3-5 p.m. We will offer transportation. Please RSVP to Lisa Hopper. We will provide snacks. Please wear modest swimwear, (one-piece bathing suits or bring a tee-shirt to cover up).

August 21st-24th is our revival time. We hope you will make plans to attend. Bro. Frank Dorris will be our evangelist and Bob Wadley will lead the music Sunday through Wednesday night. After the revival, we will switch gears and plan for fun fall activities. We will be having a hayride, fall festival, stew sale and hopefully a trip to the pumpkin patch. Continue to pray for our 5 new Christians that were saved before and right after VBS. Pray for our children as they go back to school and remind them that school is their mission field.
