Medical Missions Open Meeting

Dear First Norfolk Member

In keeping with our church's goal to Love God, Love Others and Live the Mission, we are prayerfully considering the goal of providing a community based health ministry. The following is our mission statement:

The Community Health Ministry of FBCN seeks to change lives through Christ-centered education and compassionate health services

Mission Statement: To glorify God through serving the mission, we will:

• Share Jesus, the son of God, who loves and came to save and heal every individual
• Identify health needs of the local community
• Develop educational and support programs
• Make programs accessible

One way to assess for need and response to this goal is to hold a Health Fair at First Baptist Norfolk. Our plan is to hold this Health Fair the Sunday of Big Serve, September 5th, 2010. There are many possibilities for several classes and individuals to be involved in both data collection and medical provisions. In preparation for this Health Fair we are holding a meeting for interested individuals on August 15th, 2010 immediatly following the 11 AM service in the Live the Mission Center. We will provide information, answer questions and do some brain-storming as a group. This is an excellent opportunity to touch lives in a profoundly holisitic way but we want to do so in a way that truly honors God.

Please continue to pray with us regarding this wonderful opportunity and do not hesitate to contact me if I can answer any questions for you prior to our meeting.

Loving the Mission,

Craig Clayton

Minister of Missions
