3 WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY WORSHIP Our Wonderful Wednesday sessions begin at 4:30 with various activities and fellowship for everyone in the Family Life Center Gymnasium and the Lion n Lamb Café; and then continue at 6:00 with Bible classes for Children, Youth, and Adults. Everyone is encouraged to attend these informal and informative Bible study sessions.

The Children always have a fascinating hour which is packed with activities and lessons, led by our wonderful staff of Children s Church Teachers. THE CENTER PIECE (Gathering news from all over to keep you informed on world events that matter!) THE MARCH OF DIMES (Edited by Tom Mooty) The March of Dimes Foundation is a nonprofit organization to improve the health of mothers and babies through research and grants. More than 3 million volunteers support the March of Dimes in local communities.

4 The mission of the March of Dimes is to prevent birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality. March of Dimes poster ca. late 1950s The March of Dimes was founded by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt as the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis (NFIP) on January 3, 1938, as a response to epidemics of poliomyelitis (polio) sweeping the country. Roosevelt was himself diagnosed with Polio in From those earliest days, scientists and volunteers raised money to support research, education and help polio victims and their families. Dr. Jonas Salk began his research on poliovirus in 1947 with a grant from the Foundation; and developed a successful vaccine in This was followed in 1963 by the vaccine of Albert B. Sabin, another foundation grantee. Since the discovery and widespread use of the polio vaccines, polio has been eliminated in most countries of the world. In 1958, the NFIP began researching birth defects and infant mortality, which soon became its mission. In 1961, the test to identify and prevent forms of mental retardation was developed. In 1968, the first successful bone marrow transplant was achieved. In 1973, scientists discovered that alcohol consumption

5 can affect fetal development. In 1994, the value of taking folic acid supplements was published. In 2005, reducing the toll of premature birth was added as a mission objective. In 2007, the name officially became the March of Dimes Foundation and began to fund other research: Rubella (German Measles), hospital Newborn Intensive Care Units (NICU); Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS); Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS); Fragile X Syndrome (FMR1); Folic Acid Campaign; Newborn Screening; and Pertussis (whooping cough). TELEPHONE ONE CALL NOW SYSTEM We recently installed a telephone calling tree to help us get important announcements out to everyone as quickly as possible. This was necessary because it was becoming more and more difficult to make sure everyone was notified every time. One of the messages you have been receiving is called the opt in text call, in which a generic male voice asks you to opt in if you wish to receive text messages on your cell phone. The system will not send text messages to your phone unless you tell it that it is ok to do so. When you get that call, please type the word Alert in the message body. Then press send to and scroll up or down to find new phone number and type in the five numbers that are given you; and press send. We are still setting up the system; but, in the meantime, it is already being used to great advantage.

TWO DEACONS NEEDED We are asking for your suggestions for the names of at least two men you feel would be able to serve on the Active Deacon Body of our Church.

6 TWO DEACONS NEEDED We are asking for your suggestions for the names of at least two men you feel would be able to serve on the Active Deacon Body of our Church. Please pray about this; write down the names; and give them to David Bible. VICTORY BIBLE INSTITUTE Our Victory Bible Institute is in full swing. Brother Paul Stiefvater is currently teaching Course # OT 103 (Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles) and Brother Tom is currently teaching Course # OT 102 (Joshua, Judges, and Ruth). Upon the completion of the course plan, you can receive credit towards a diploma in Biblical Studies from the Victory Bible Institute in Greenville, SC; or you might be interested in simply taking the classes for the invaluable knowledge and information in the little time we have left to make a difference in this world. Either way, the class sessions are recorded for you (at no charge) to review the material later; or make up a class you had to miss. MARCH OF DIMES SHAKE-DOWN The Children s Church Shake-Down for your pocket change will be conducted (bills are also ac-
