The World Comes to Waynesville! FBC Serves the World!

INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL DAY

SATURDAY, JULY 30

How You Can Help:

On Saturday, July 30, we will have an

opportunity to share Christ’s love with people from around the world. That is the day we

serve lunch and offer Bibles to the Folkmoot

Dancers.

You can volunteer to help with food prepa-

ration, set up, serving the food and clean up.

8:00am—10:00am—Prepare Food

11:30am—1:30pm—Serve Food

1:00pm—2:00pm—Clean Up

Pray that the dancer’s learn of Christ’s love.

If you have any questions or want to help

with lunch call Nancy Fish at 828-768-1344.

You can also make a donation to help

offset the cost of the food and Bibles by in-cluding a separate check with your regular

offering and/or leave a cash donation in the church office by July 15-cash donations will be used to purchase food at the

Farmer’s Market.

From Dr. Prince... Christ is counting on YOU...

Please continue to donate food this sum-

mer. Any and all non-perishable food is ac-

cepted and is given to the Food Pantry at

Haywood Christian Ministry. Families of

the very children our church helped at

Waynesville Middle School may be depend-

ing on Haywood Christian Ministry for food

during the summer months. Place your generous donations of

food in the boxes provided in the fireplace area. Thank you for

your faithfulness in ending hunger in our community!

Red Clover is the State Flower of VERMONT

We’ve had a tremendous week of Vacation Bible

School (VBS)! Each year I’m blessed and amazed at all

the hard work that goes into our VBS efforts. Lisa Fleenor, Faith Woods, and all our other workers do a tre-

mendous job transforming our Ministry Activity Center

into a bright, colorful, wonderful children’s learning area.

All our workers do a great job of teaching as well.

As I’ve watched young children and their parents

this week, I’ve been reminded of how important it is to reach them with the good news of Jesus Christ. The reli-

gious landscape of our country is changing rapidly. The

Pew Research Center reports that just in the 7 years be-

tween 2007 and 2014, the number of people claiming to

be Christians in our county declined by nearly 8%. While

we evangelicals did better than Churches as a whole, we declined by nearly 5%.

Where are those people going? While we think

they’re going to other religious groups, they aren’t. The

number of people saying that that they hold to non-

Christian faiths grew by only about 1%. The group that

grew was the “Unaffiliated,” including atheists, agnostics, and the like. It grew by nearly 7%.

When you study the numbers further, you find

that the change isn’t evenly distributed. What’s happen-

ing is “Generational Replacement.” 85% of people born

between 1928 and 1945 claim to be Christian. But

among those born between 1990 and 1996, that number is 56%. Those born in those years are called

“Millennials.”

I don’t know the statistics for Haywood County.

They probably aren’t quite as dire as those nationally,

but I imagine they’re not too far off. Our Millennials tell me that many of their peers see no need for church at all.

This is why our efforts at children’s ministry and

reaching younger people are so important. When you’re

in our worship services, particularly when we start our

new schedule, be on the lookout for younger people. Talk

to them, engage them, and let them know how glad you are that they’re here!

See you Sunday!

Robert

Thank you, thank you, thank you church family. Our BBQ

fundraiser was a great success. You raised $2,050 for

our mission trip to Vermont. We have such a great

church family. Continue to pray for our trip. We will

keep you posted on events and our travels when we go.

We love you all!!! The Vermont Mission Team

“Kids on Main” July 4th Parade! All ages welcome! Children

under 12 years of age must be accompanied by parent or guard-

ian. The Parade begins at 11:00am at the Haywood County

Courthouse and…...ends here at First Baptist Church in our
