Vacation Bible School !

Vacation Bible School is July 19-23. Many have already volunteered their

time but there are still some “key” helpers needed.

All Volunteers: please let Cindy know your shirt size as soon as possible.

She also needs the shirt sizes for all of the kids and their age/grade that

they will be going into.

Robert England will lead all interested adults in VBS during the week. We hope you will plan to come

even if you don’t have kids participating in VBS.

New this year: Phil and Pat Mullins will lead our 7th and 8th graders in a Junior VBS. They will meet in

the youth building each night. Spread the word and invite your friends and neighbors to join you.

We are looking forward to an exciting and blessed week. Mark your calendars and invite your friends

and neighbors!

If you are interested or have questions please contact Cindy Elkins (679-1060 or 275-9675) Email:

From the Pastor Search Committee

The WBC Pastor Search Committee had its first meeting on June 9,

2010. A training session was led by Pastor Bill Tatum. Elizabeth Wills

and Bill Sutherland were elected to co-chair the Committee, and Karen

Ponish was elected as secretary. The Committee has begun soliciting

applications for pastoral candidates and has set a deadline of August 1,

2010, for receipt of applications.

Should any church member know of any individual who would like to be

considered, please have that individual forward a resume to Pastor

Search Committee, Wise Baptist Church, P. O. Box 777, Wise, Virginia

24293. A Transition Team Report, including a pastoral profile that was

developed in conjunction with the Church membership, can be found on

the WBC website. The pastoral profile lists the characteristics that the

church membership prefers in the next full-time pastor. Please be in

constant prayer for the committee members as they perform this

important task for our church.
