Prayer and June Activites

As you know, we have three ladies near to our church family who are battling cancer. Lori A., Claudie B. and our pastor's Aunt Dell. Your prayers are needed for each one this week. Lori has some new suspicious spots they will be checking out this week. They have stopped her treatments while they investigate these spots. Claudie B. struggle with some confusion this weekend and the cancer in Aunt Dell seems to be progressing. Please keep each of these and their families in your prayers.

In June, we have several things going on. This week the Southern Baptist Convention will be held in Indianapolis, Indiana. Our pastor and his wife are attending. You can keep current with the convention highlights by clicking at Southern Baptist Convention
Your prayers for the convention and our pastor and wife are appreciated.

June 20-21 is our designated 24 hour time of prayer. I-366 is a state-wide effort for Florida Baptists to spend each day this year in prayer for our world, country, churches, leaders and families. Antioch has a 24 hour opportunity to join in this prayer circle. If you have not signed the prayer sheet, please do so. Each member is asked to pray in a 30 minute increment. You can read more about I-366 here

Children's Camp will be June 23-26. Please begin to pray for each camper, counselor, helper and worker for God to minister into the hearts of these young children, for everyone's safety, for the energy and wisdom for the workers and for God to be glorified in all that is done.

June 29 will be a 5th Sunday Night Sing and Testimony Time. These sings are always a blessing. It is a joy to hear others share their talent or a testimony with the church. There is such a powerful witness when we share a talent that God has blessed us with or a word of testimony about Him. Please plan to participate and see Sis. Dianne to get on the agenda to minister!

4th of July Celebration: We are planning a huge 4th of July celebration on July 4. It will be a great time of fellowship, food, games and fun as we celebrate our nation's Independence and freedom. There are sign up sheets around the church, please sign up for food or a cake for the cake walk and be prepared to have a great time. More details will be coming.
