Celebrating Success!
Congratulations and THANK YOU for your giving to Appalachian Christmas Outreach of North
Carolina Baptists on Mission. You gave 51 filled backpacks for children of Appalachia and mone-
tary donations of $835.00. With this money, 30 additional backpacks were prepared after cover-
ing the cost of purchasing Bibles and empty backpacks.
Twelve other churches brought filled backpacks to our collection center. The total number deliv-
ered to Shelby Mission Camp from here was 372. Thanks to Pete Hall for arranging for the deliv-
ery.
Across North Carolina 13,645 backpacks were collected and taken to many places in five states of
the Appalachian region. How grateful we are that through these gifts so many children heard
the message.
Sing Christmas!
Our Christmas Musical has been rescheduled for Sunday, January 6 at 6:30.
Make plans to join us for Sing Christmas!, a beautiful celebration of the
Christmas season featuring our Sanctuary Choir & Orchestra. Following the
musical we will enjoy a time of fellowship in our gathering Place.
Everyone is welcome!

Attention All Committee Members
In an effort to help our committees work as

our current 2018 committee chairs to call a

of electing officers for the coming year, and
selecting a regular meeting time for 2019.
Our newly elected 2019 Committee Chairs are
responsible for turning in the names of their
committee officers and meeting times for 2019.
This information should be given to the church
office no later than January 10, 2019.
We appreciate all our committee members for
the work they have done in 2018. Thank you to
