Youth grades 6th to 12th
Game night, Summer Youth Camp, fundraising
Priscilla Garcia, Youth Team Lead
What a time it has been to be able to invest in our youth. We launched the youth on January 15th and started with only 4 students. Since then, we have been averaging 13-15 students on a weekly basis. We held a game day with the Rochelle Girls Basketball team on February 21st and enjoyed our day long competition over board games. God has been so good in giving us direction, vision, and an opportunity to pour into our next generation. We also took a leap of faith to sign up for our Summer Youth Camp that is happening on June 19-23 at Highland Lakes Camp! We are planning on taking 16 students and 4 leaders! We ask for your prayers in filling all these spots and funding the youth for this camp. We will be hosting fundraising events to raise the needed funds to pay for our students. Each spot is $370.
We would love to ask for your partnership in 2 different ways:
1) Pray for our youth. Pray that God continues to send students across the doors of the church to hear the Good News and for us to have the opportunity to continue to pour into them and take them to this camp.
2) Partner with us financially as we raise the funds to pay the students way to camp. I know many of us could agree, camp is a life changing experience, and we want our students to experience that! Thank you FBC for all your love, support, and willingness to continue to spread the Good News in Brady, in Texas, in America, and to the end of the world!

Food Pantry Ministry
Our Food Pantry distributes food to people in need on the second Friday morning of each month from 9:00-11:00. Food is purchased as needed from the San Antonio Food Bank. However, our local Wal-Mart is the primary supplier, donating many pounds of food each week. Church volunteers pick up the food at Wal-Mart every Thursday morning and bring it to the church. On food distribution mornings, ministry team members handle the paperwork, bag and box the food, pray with the recipients, and carry the food boxes to their cars. In a typical month we serve 60-70 families, with each family receiving around 40-50 lbs of food, plus an extra smaller box if there are children in the home.
