On a mission...

Kathryn Seay has a newsletter. She is working her way to Mali; to read more, go to Calvarybaptistwaco.com, click the “About Us” link and then to go “Missionaries.”

Speaking of Missions, read the paste below from Children’s Minister Mary Alice Birdwhistell:

Dear Friends,

Several of you have mentioned interest in a family mission trip, and this summer is a great opportunity for you to be part of one. Emily Snider would like to invite a group from Calvary to join her and her home church to serve in Dulce, New Mexico this summer, the week of July 25-31. Emily's church, Lindsay Lane Baptist, Athens, Alabama, is sponsoring its 10th Kid's Club in Dulce, the tribal capital of the Jicarilla Apache Indians. They would love for you to join them for during this week to share the love of Jesus with the Jicarilla children and to encourage the members of Dulce Baptist Church. You would spend the week semi-roughing it (staying in Dulce Baptist Church's facilities, using air beds and sleeping bags), and minister to around 100 kids each day. In the evenings, you would be able to fellowship with local church members and members of the community. Previous trips have included people of all ages, from 4 to 74. The only requirement is a willingness to pour yourself into the lives of children and adults so that God may be glorified. Details:

When: July 25 - July 31 (Kid's Club is Monday-Thursday)

Where: Dulce, New Mexico

What: Vacation Bible School

Cost: Approximately $200 per person, not to exceed $800 per family

Contact: For more information, contact Emily Snider at 256-431-2684.

There will be a brief informational meeting directly following worship THIS Sunday if you would like more information.
