We will begin collecting Shoe Boxes full of gifts  for children around the world beginning October 13 and continuing through November 17. Please join us in expressing God's love and spreading the Good News of the Gospel by packing shoe boxes. More information can be found at www.samaritanspurse.org/occ or visit the table in the hallway. Don't forget to review the "do not include"list and include a check for $9 for processing. 

The Pathfinder Class is leading numerous activities involving the residents and staff of My Friend's House. Examples include: dinner being provided once a month, in-home suppers and game nights, exercise classes, inclusion in church events, and weeknight meetings in our church. Watch for more opportunities to work with this great group of young men. Contact Kelly Wheeler or Jennifer Leonard if you want to help.

Walker Baptist Church is a regular monthly contributor to GraceWorks. From July 14 through July 28 we collected 500 non-perishable food items to fill the need that exists year-round, not just at holidays. Thank you for your participation in this project. 

Game nights are held for the residents the first and third Monday of each month at 5:00 pm.  August dates are August 5 and 19. Contact Louise Austin to volunteer or get more information. This is a great opportunity to meet and interact with some members of our community.

A team of 10 medical personnel (3 from Walker) provided free medical clinics in established Baptist churches Guatemala City, for the residents of the surrounding communities. Medical supplies were collected by many churches in the NBA.  Through the generous donations of Nashville area Baptists, enough supplies were left for the following week's trip also. Praise the Lord for His goodness.
