THE FAMILY BUDGET
“Come
on in and
shop.”
That’s the
greeting
that you
will often
get when
you walk
into The
Garment
Rack off of
Minnesota
Avenue. At
minimum,
you can
expect to be
treated with
respect and kindness, and given
whatever assistance necessary to
ensure you and your family walk
out with plenty of free clothes. So,
is this a new department store?
A new chic boutique? Neither, it
is a ministry of the First Baptist
Church of Macclenny and it has
been serving our community with an
opportunity for free clothes for you
and your family. The Garment Rack
is a place where anyone with a need
can sift through the racks of the
carefully sorted and sized clothing
and shoes without worrying about
high costs or high pressure sales. In
fact, everything is actually given to
the ‘customers’ for free. It’s a great
way to help s-t-r-e-t-c-h the family
budget. There is a small card that
you fill out when you
first come in, and then
you will be pointed
in the right direction
of the gently used
clothing that you are
interested in. That’s it –
no special qualifying or
documentation needed
to come and ‘shop’ for
free clothing.
The Garment Rack
is open the third
Saturday of every
month from 9:00AM to
11:30AM. This month,
on July 16th, they will celebrate
their 8th annual “Back-to-School”
giveaway where they will hand out
a surplus of clothes for both males
and females ranging from toddler to
adult sizes. They are always looking
for donations and are in need of
such items as new packs of socks
and underwear, shoes, jeans and
shirts, etc. They are most in need of
clothing for teenage boys and girls,
especially tennis shoes. In order for
them to continue helping families
and blessing our community,
they must have the donations
coming into the facility. The
church volunteers work feverishly
unpacking boxes and sorting
donations, but the need is always
much greater than the supply
and the supply dwindles quickly.
These clothes lift a heavy burden
off of families that are already
experiencing a financial crunch.
Clothes shopping for people with
multiple children or low incomes
can be almost impossible, but with
ministries like The Garment Rack,
You Can Win Tickets!
nothing is
impossible.
They even
encourage
parents
to get an
outfit for
themselves
as well.
There is
something
at the
Garment
Rack for
everyone in
the family!
One of the
diligent
workers also informed us that if
someone is unable to come during
their hours of operation, they are
more than willing to work out a time
that is more convenient for them to
come and shop. The entire purpose
of this ministry is to help those who
are in need in whatever way they
can. They simply want to do God’s
work and meet as many needs
as possible. If you have a need or
have a donation, please contact the
First Baptist Church of Macclenny
at 904-259-2933, Monday through
Thursday. So don’t forget, Saturday
June 16th is the big Back-to-School
giveaway, doors open at 9:00AM come ready to shop! The Garment
Rack is located beside the church on
Minnesota Avenue.

Well it’s certainly been eventful
this summer at the Emily Taber
Public Library. Almost every
Tuesday morning throughout June
and July, our awesome Public
Library is delivering live, interactive
entertainment to our Baker County
youths and families. The events take
place at 10:00AM at the Macclenny
Woman’s Club, located across the
street from the library on McIver
Street. So far, our area kids have
learned some new Zumba moves
from Believe Fitness instructor
Michele Cruz, who volunteered her
time to get the kids moving and
teaching them about making healthy
choices.
The children also got a kick out of
seeing the live juggling sensations,
the Jongleur Jugglers. Their
hysterical comedy and incredible
ability to entertain
all age groups
led to lots of oohs
and aahs, along
with squeals of
laughter. They will
return in July with
the other half of
their show, Mike
the Magician. If
you missed their
first performance,
be sure to make it
to the next one on
July 19th.
Also coming
this month on
July 12th will be
Ms. Cathy Hooper
with one, or
100°
73°
possibly two, of her trusty steeds.
Ms. Hooper has over 35 years of
experience with these beautiful
horses and a great love for teaching
children all about them. This event
will be held at the library, not inside
the Woman’s Club.
Looking to the end the month,
on July 26th Yoga Instructor
Extraordinaire, Carol Baker will
be teaching yoga and breathing
techniques to the kids. Carol is a
seasoned artist and yogi who has
taught in our community for over 40
years.
So, there you have it folks. One
month of summer down, one month
to go, and plenty of opportunities to
still enjoy some free entertainment
presented by our local library. Hope
to see you there!

with the Baker County Community
Saver, and your new issue will be

to watch for this colorful booklet in
your mail that brings you coupons
St. James Baptist
Church has done it
again with another
Friday Night Lights.
This past Friday night,
kids gathered in the
early evening hours to
play games and watch
a free movie outside
on the big screen.
They played musical
chairs, twister and a
life-size Jenga game
while they waited for
the featured movie,
Zootopia to start.
Volunteers worked
hard to prepare fish
dinners, hot dogs,
hamburgers and
popcorn, while others
set up tents and
equipment. Although
concessions were
sold, children 16
and under were given a free bag
of popcorn and their choice of a
hamburger or hot dog to enjoy during
the movie. The night was perfect for
an outdoor movie, and even more
perfect to be with friends and family.
Around 80 kids came out to enjoy the
free entertainment and food.
St. James Baptist Church has
hopes of doing, at least, one more
Friday Night Lights before the
summer is over. They have set a
tentative date for the end of the
and savings from your local
merchants.
Would you like your business
to be featured in this direct mail
publication? Give us a call at
904-259-9141 to discuss how you
can reach every resident of Baker
County.

QUIT NOW
What habit is attached to more
deadly diseases than any other? It
can cause stroke, coronary heart
disease, cancer in over a dozen
places in the body, high blood
pressure and premature aging. If
you guessed smoking, then you are
correct.
Many of our friends and loved
ones are affected by this dangerous
habit; some have even passed away
because of it. At one point in society
it was considered cool or classy to
smoke, but a few decades ago the
truth was exposed. Anti-tobacco ad
campaigns went on the rampage
against major tobacco companies.
Their main goals were to expose
the truth and offer support to those
who wanted to get this beast off
of them for good. Here in Baker
County, our Health Department is
determined to help anyone willing
to help themselves, to quit tobacco
for good. On July 12th from 5PM
to 7PM, they will be holding a
“Tools to Quit” class. This class
offers nicotine replacement
patches, gum and lozenges to
ease the nicotine cravings. They
will discuss the consequences
of all tobacco products and give
tips and ideas as to how to quit.
If you are currently a smoker or
know someone struggling with
the habit who wants to quit, this
class is for you. Don’t wait until it
is too late. With smoking it is not a
matter of if, it is a matter of when.
Call to register at 904-259-0189 and
make the change that could save
your life!

your favorite wrestlers
and see them perform their signature

entertainment in the big ring.
In the ring, you will see Ron

SPIRITUALWARFARE
A Christ-Like Stephen
While Christians waited in
the upper room, the Holy Spirit
appeared to equip them with power
and boldness to continue Christ’s
mission. Crowds of people stood
watching – some amazed and others
mocking. Peter stepped up to answer
their questions as he preached Jesus
(Acts 2:12-40).
Remaining steadfast in their
doctrine and fellowship, in breaking
of bread and in prayers, with signs
and wonders following them, the
apostles preached in the temple
and from house to house as the Lord
added to the church daily.
Large crowds remained in the
area, causing local people to sell
possessions and goods to provide
for everyone (v42-47). Tables were
tended where collections were
received and distributions to the
people were made. The working
of those tables brought strife and
confusion between Greek-speaking
Jews and native Hebrew-speaking
Jews (6:1). The apostles assigned
a multitude of disciples the task
of choosing seven men from both
groups, men of honest report, full of
the Holy Ghost and wisdom, to be
appointed over that business while
they (the apostles) would continue in
TIME FOR A
LAUGH
prayer and ministry of the Word (v24). One selected man was Stephen.
The apostles laid hands upon the
seven and ordained them as the first
deacons (v5-6).
Persecution of the church
continued when Stephen was falsely
accused and put on trial for his
life. Stephen pointed out that his
accusers needed repentance, for they
were the ones who were breaking
the law and dishonoring God (v97:53). His accusers were cut to the
heart. Stephen’s service to God was
honored when Stephen looked up
into heaven. He saw the glory of God
and Jesus standing on the right hand
of God. The accusers rushed upon
Stephen to take him outside of the
city where he was stoned to death
(v54-57).
Stephen, at the brink of physical
death, called upon God, asking Jesus
to receive his spirit. As he kneeled
and cried with a loud voice, Stephen
prayed for the Lord not to lay that sin
to their charge (v59-60). Then he fell
asleep.
We can learn from the actions of
the early church. Think about how
Stephen served God and how his life
ended. Is it possible for us to be a
Christ-like Stephen in today’s world?

READING CAFÉ AND
BOOKS AT THE BEACH
During the whole
month of July, several
of our area schools
are opening their
library doors to their
students. The Baker
County High School
library will be open
from 6:00PM to 8:00PM
on Tuesday evenings

the Beach” reading

will be allowed to
check out books, take

getting ready for the
new school year. Baker
County Middle School

all.
Macclenny Elementary has

open their library on July 19th,
from 12:30PM until 4PM. The Keller
Intermediate library will also be
open during the same hours but on

great way of getting them back into

Grilled Garlic Potatoes
the routine of reading.
If you have had a child in school
anytime over the last twenty plus
years, you have heard of AR points.
Accelerated Reader (AR) is actually
a software program developed by
Renaissance Learning, Inc. that was
created to do three specific things.
First is the assessment of your
child’s reading level. Books are given
a certain amount of points based
on their degree of difficulty. Easier
books, will obviously be worth less
points, whereas, more difficult books
have a higher point value. AR also
helps monitor whether a child is
reading the book completely. And
the third thing that AR does is offer
a suggested reading list. Sometimes
the problem is not reading a book as
much as it is about finding one! So
come out and take this opportunity
at your child’s school library and
help get them back into reading
before the summer is out.

TAKE A BOWHUNTER EDUCATION
COURSE IN AUGUST
Jalynn says there is nothing to this
bass fishing stuff.
Christopher Hodges shows off 2 good Ocean
Pond bass he caught over the weekend.
Florida bowhunters will have
an opportunity to attend a National
Bowhunter Education Foundation
certified bowhunter education
course in Duval or Alachua County in
August.
The course will be conducted
using the new online, distancelearning format. A bowhunting
enthusiast may now access the
program on the NBEF website,
enter through the Florida portal
and complete the online classroom
topics before attending a shortened,
interactive field day. The Florida
course is found at
www.bowhunter-ed.com/florida.
The two classes being held in
August are:
Alachua: Aug. 27th (8AM until
noon) Newberry
Duval: Aug. 20th (8AM until
noon) Jacksonville
The course is offered by
the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission’s (FWC)
Hunter Safety Section and the
Florida Bowhunters Council.
“While these courses do not
satisfy the hunter education
requirements for Florida, they are
educational, informative and well
worth taking,” said Steve Robbins,
FWC Hunter Safety coordinator in
Lake City.
Participants can expect to learn
all aspects of bowhunting including:
• History of bowhunting;
• Safe and responsible
bowhunting;
• Know your bow and arrow;
• Preparing for the hunt;
• Shot placement and game
recovery;
• Use of elevated stands and
other techniques;
• Outdoor preparedness.
Participants must bring their
own equipment, including bow and
field-tipped arrows. Students should
register for the course they choose
by calling the FWC’s North Central
Regional Office at 386-754-1654 or
by visiting MyFWC.com/Bowhunt.
Students of all ages may participate.
