The warm weather has returned and it is a great time to get out and share the good news of Christ in Hampton Roads! Find a way to serve:
New Opportunities
Coronado School— Donations of diapers and other goods are being received to benefit the students of the Coronado School as they seek to care for their babies. A baby boutique will be held on June 11, 2010. Please contact Mary Harper at mharper5@verizon.net to volunteer.
Handy men/women needed— Poplar Halls Elementary School needs volunteers to install a basketball goal, paint hopscotch squares, and to assist with other needs. Those interested should contact Mrs. Page at 892-3280.

Prayerwalking— We will be joining local festivals and events for times of prayerwalking with the goal of meeting persons of peace who are receptive to the Good News. On May 1 we will be at Mt. Trashmore with the Native American festival that will be held from 11a.m.-6p.m. Check the blog or find our group on Facebook (First Baptist Norfolk’s Big Serve) for additional opportunities as they arise.
