Thank you to Cross Memorial for hosting the May Senior Adult Rally! Thank you to everyone who contributed to Baptist Children’s Homes Food Drive! Thank you to Hankins Baptist Church for being so faithful for supplying items for the Food Pantry! GOOD NEWS CLUB! We Have good news about the Good News Club! We now have our own chapter of Good News Club, which includes McDowell, Yancey, Avery and Mitchell County. We have Good News Club in all the elementary schools in McDowell County and in two of our middle schools. We have five clubs in Yancey County and are also working to establish Good News Clubs in Mitchell and Avery County. The Good News Club is a 1 hour, after school program each week beginning the week after Labor Day and ending Easter vacation week. The Gospel is shared at each of these programs. This past year there were 357 kids enrolled for Good News Clubs in McDowell County. There were 18 decisions made for Christ! The cost for each school’s materials is $1,100. However, it requires more money than this to successfully operate this Chapter. Please consider giving to this endeavor of sharing the Gospel with children. Your financial gift will have eternal impact. Send any financial support to CEFNC Mountain Chapter at PO Box 1504, Marion, NC 28752. If you are interested in being a volunteer, please contact the BRBA office.
