the other is on the back table of the sanctuary. We have a new project we’re

Would You Like to Lend a Hand?
The YC Food for the Needy is looking for a few FBC volunteers to be
kitchen attendants during the Christmas for the Needy distribution on Dec.
11-13. A lunch will be brought in (to feed the volunteers only,) they only need
people to be on hand to help maintain the kitchen, make coffee, and clean up. For
more information call the church office or call Donna Johnston at 536-2683.
Steeple Restoration
On June 23rd the congregation voted to accept a bid of
$15,448 for the restoration of the steeple. The money to cover the cost of the
project is to come from Memorial Funds, our church’s general fund and
individual contributions. Since we have
many plans for future improvements to our church it is very important that we
do not deplete our church’s memorial funds and general fund. So please, let’s
try to cover as much of this expense with individual contributions as possible.
Please give what you can and designate it for the steeple restoration. You may
send a check to the church office or place your contribution in the special
Steeple Collection box located at the front of the church each Sunday now and
through the month of September. Thank you for your continued generosity.

Mission Nugget
PATTI & TIM LONG American Baptist Missionaries in Mexico
Patti writes that Lupita came to the Monte Horeb
Grade School in Tijuana when she was six years old and was
placed in kindergarten. Other schools would not accept her. Her speech was so
distorted from a high palate that no one could understand her. She was
considered a ‘burro’ at the other schools and even by her own grandmother, who
was raising her. Fourth grade was the turning point for Lupita.
The special attention she was given over the years at Monte Horeb
finally reaped some real tangible rewards. She learned to read and enjoyed
doing so, her math skills improved markedly, and her speech had progressed to
the point where most could understand her. Not only did Lupita’s
confidence and self-worth improve over the years through the special education
program directed by Patti and the acceptance she felt by students and teachers
alike, but her own grandmother came to a most important understanding. Lupita was not the ‘burro’ that her former teachers talked
about and that she herself and had come to believe. She began to help with
homework and volunteered daily at the school. The developing teamwork between
grandmother, student, and teachers made a world of difference,
one that we trust now will serve them well as Lupita
moves on to other schools.
