Missions VBS at Norwood Baptist

This year's All Day VBS on June 23rd at Norwood Baptist Church in Forest, Virginia will be about World Missions with the focus on Uganda.  We are trusting the Lord, through us, to make an impact on the children and youth to "Do Anything...Go Anywhere" the Lord calls them, as we are ALL commissioned by Jesus Christ himself in Matthew 28: 19-20: 

"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

 
The children will go through Customs as if they are traveling to Uganda and be taught some of the African culture.  For crafts, the children will be making "Faith Bracelets" that will be delivered to the children of Uganda on the pastor's next mission trip to Uganda on Feb. 2nd thru Feb.15th 2013.




If you would like to help out with our VBS, please email
Norwood Baptist using norwoodbc@verizon.net . 


Our prayer is that the youth of tomorrow will continue to have a heart for Missions and keep reaching out internationally to share God's Perfect Love, found only in His Son, Jesus Christ!

Next Uganda Mission Trip Set for 2013

"All Aboard!"  for the next Short Term Medical Mission Trip to Uganda!

Scheduled for: February 2nd through 15th, 2013 !

Mark your calendars!

(For anyone that would like to go with us... ) 

If you already have a U.S. Passport, Grrrrr-eat!

If not, you will need to secure one.  You can find all the information about doing so at the U.S. Department of State's website.

Visit: http://travel.state.gov

Here are a few helpful tips in fulfilling the Passport requirements:

1. If you have a printer available, it is best to complete the Passport Application (DS-11) online to take with you on your appointment to submit the form in person at one of the Passport Acceptance Facilities in your area. You can find a facility here: http://iafdb.travel.state.gov
2. Many CVS Pharmacy Photo Labs are equipped to take Passport photos and this very inexpensive. Just make certain the background is actually "White", or the Passport Acceptance facility may reject them, causing a delay in your application. 

You will also need to make sure you have had or are up to date with your
immunizations/vaccinations. Click here for more information.

Anyone that would like to join the mission team needs to contact
the Mission Link Intl. office immediately. We need people with many skills: Medical, construction, church planting, computer software skills, children workers, etc.

If you are NOT able to go, but would like to help contribute to ministering to those in Uganda, you can do so by clicking the "Donate" tab at the top of this page and giving a donation of any amount.  It will be greatly appreciated and used to bring Glory to God.
