Statewide Bible Reading
Hallelujah! Praising God that

Crawfordville.
We will meet on the west side
of the courthouse where it will
be shady.
Even if you are not a reader,
lead the music or any other part,
please come, bring a lawn chair,
and worship with us on this very
important event. We need to
pray to God to bring us back to
Him and to heal our nation. We
need to turn from our wicked
ways-there are so many things
that are acceptable in society
that are not acceptable in the
eyes of God. We need to pray
that Godly men and women are
elected this next election cycle.
God has a plan for our country
and for our lives. We need to
listen to his plans.
Please support this event.

Super WOW
Shelby Power, Sadie Power, Ryleigh Shelnutt, Joseph Barnes, Andrew Holbrook and Charlie Fulcher.
The adults on this trip were Daniel Barnes, Haley Shelnutt and Ginny Power
Six kids and three adults went
to Panama City Beach in Florida,
for a week of Super WOW! and
praising and worshiping Jesus
and God and learning more and
more about God’s goodness.
Crawfordville Baptist made
sure these children were able
to take advantage of this great
opportunity.
They learned songs of praise,
learned dance moves to some
of the songs, heard messages
from different preachers, went
to the beach and played games,
and came away with a better
understanding of who God really
is and how to worship him more.
During the next Sunday service
at Crawfordville Baptist, the
youth took over and led the
morning worship service. They
made the announcements, led
the music, took up the offering,
prayed several times and all
made a short presentation on
how Super WOW! affected
them.
Ginny Power said this was
her tenth trip to Super WOW!
but said going with this group of
kids was the one she loved the
most. This time she wasn’t a
child but an adult leader. She
and Haley Shelnutt went as
children and always came back
more empowered to share their
faith with more boldness.

First Call Pregnancy Center to host
Shoe Drive Fundraiser
Drive-Thru
Drop-Off
The community is invited to
clean out their closets for a shoe
drive to raise funds for FIRST
CALL PREGNANCY CENTER.
Donations of gently worn, used
and new shoes will be accepted.
The amount of money raised is
determined by the total weight
of the shoes collected.
All donated shoes will be
redistributed to micro-enterprise
partners through Funds20rgs, a
for profit social enterprise, and
used in developing nations for
impoverished people to start
their own businesses.
Shoes need to be dropped
off on Saturday, July 13,
from 10am - 2pm at First Call
Pregnancy Center, 1531 W.
Broad Street, Greensboro.
In the US alone, over 300
million pairs of shoes are
thrown away per year. The
materials used to manufacture a
pair of shoes are created from
chemical compounds that will
create health hazards if left to
disintegrate openly or in landfills.
By donating your gently worn,
used and new shoes to FIRST
CALL PREGNANCY CENTER,
your shoes are given a second
chance to make a difference.
