Sunday, June 22 was Food Truck Sunday at First Baptist. Hundreds of us stayed aft er worship to enjoy lunch on our

front lawn provided by several local food truck vendors. Stamey’s, Taqueria El Azteca, and Th e Ice Queen provided lunch, but that’s not all. Th ey also provided a metaphor.

Long a staple of downtown street corners and urban construction sites, food trucks have gained wide popularity in the U.S. over the last 6 or 7 years. Part of this trend is due to economic realities – a truck is a cheap alternative to a conventional restaurant. Additionally, however, the popularity of food trucks is a refl ection of some deep cultural trends with which any healthy organization – whether culinary or religious – seeks to be conversant.

Churches can learn a lot from food trucks. Churches like ours have traditionally had what might be called a “cafeteria” mentality. Like any K&W, you can come and fi nd a variety of options for a variety of people, with seating enough for all. What can a cafeteria church learn from a food truck?

We can learn about mobility. Food trucks go to where the people are, not simply waiting for the people to fi nd their way to them.

We can learn about focus. Due to their size, food trucks don’t try to match the scope of a full service restaurant. Th ey typically have a limited menu, or “niche.” Instead of trying to do everything, they do certain things with excellence and distinction.

Food trucks teach us about quality. With limited off erings, every ingredient counts. Oft en food is locally sourced, with attention to sustainability and other ethical concerns that surround food growth and production. While concerned with quality of taste, these rolling restaurants also give attention to the aesthetical and ethical quality of the food.

We learn from food trucks about collaboration. As we learned in the process of planning our Food Truck Sunday, the truck operators and chefs know one another and are accustomed to working together. Th ey don’t mind being parked next to fellow vendors competing for customers, but instead act as though their individual success is tied together with the success of the whole.

Food trucks teach us about adaptability. Th ey can (quite literally) turn on a dime. Th ey can shift to new locations. Th ey can experiment with new recipes or new preparation methods depending on the present need. Th ey can even change their Sunday lunch plans to park at 1000 W. Friendly Avenue.

Food trucks, fi nally, initiate new community. As a recent LA Times article describes, “Th e trucks have become a sort of roving party, bringing people to neighborhoods they might not normally go to, and allowing for interactions with strangers they might not otherwise talk to.” We sensed this energy and community across the First Baptist lawn as people clustered together in pods of lawn chairs or on shared blankets, strangers became friends, conversation lingered, and children played until they left with grass stains on their church clothes.

It was a great lunch. But that’s not all. It was a reminder of some of what can characterize our life and ministry together at First Baptist. I don’t think we’ve seen our last “Food Truck Sunday.”

First Baptist received 10 percent of the proceeds from the food purchased to benefi t FBC ministries.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Are Needed!

Schools are out for the summer and many children in our community are left without the

nutritious breakfast and lunch meals they received through school feeding programs. A sad statistic in our state is that one in four children experience hunger and food insecurity on a regular basis. A quick healthy snack is a PBJ, so let’s fi ll up the Greensboro Urban Ministry bins in the Atrium and the Children’s Wing with jars of peanut butter and jelly. When you do, you will help fi ll empty stomachs!

The 2014 NC Baptist All-State Youth Choir Tour will be July 13 - 20

First Baptist Church participants are: Leah Frost, Bryce Starnes, Anna Stephens, and Erin Stephens with Doug Vancil, accompanist.

All are invited to attend the choir tour’s fi nal concert on Sunday, July 20 at 6 pm at Ardmore Baptist Church

in Winston-Salem at 501 Miller Street.

Th e FRONT August Mini-Semester BY STEVE SUMEREL

We turn to the Bible in order to experience the word of God, to be inspired, to be comforted, to fi nd direction in life, and to enter the grand narrative of God’s intervention in the history of God’s

children. However, it is important to remember that the Bible has its own history and fascinating story of how it came to be the book we hold so dear today. We know Bible stories, but how well do we know the story of the Bible? On each Monday evening in August, FRONT will explore the intriguing story of how the Bible came to be. Robb Wells will address such topics as: current scholarship on biblical authorship, the turbulent history of canonization, the proliferation and ramifi cations of mass translations, and many, many more. FRONT was created to bring current scholarship to those who teach in our Bible study programs. However, along the way, many others have found FRONT to be a thought-provoking addition to their Bible study diet. We are all students and a “People of the Book.” Th erefore, all are welcome to come to the FRONT table.

Baptist Children’s Homes’ Th ird Annual “Hope in Style” Event Saturday, August 9, Greensboro Country ClubChildren’s Fashion Show: 10 am - 12 noon Silent Auction with Brunch begins at 9 am

The spotlights shined brightly as Baptist Children’s Homes of North Carolina (BCH) residents took center-stage at last summer’s Hope in Style fashion show and silent auction

to model their new back-to-school outfi ts. “Th e children outdid themselves,” said Monica Vaughan, chairperson for the “Hope in Style” planning committee. “Th eir smiles made all our eff orts worthwhile. Th ey are so blessed to have a home and caring friends at BCH.” Last year’s Hope in Style event raised $100,000 in fi nancial and in-kind donations for children living at BCH’s Mills Home campus in Th omasville. Hope in Style is made possible by community volunteers and sponsors. Belk will once again serve as the lead sponsor providing school clothing for BCH’s residents at no cost. Longtime WXII Channel 12 News anchor Wanda Starke will serve as emcee for this year’s event. A silent auction featuring vacation getaways, furniture, art and other donated items is also a featured part of Hope in Style. A catered brunch rounds out the two-hour event. But Hope in Style’s most prominent spotlight shines on BCH’s residents as they take to the runway and model their new back-to-school clothing for the audience. “So many of these children come from circumstances ranging from family dysfunction to even situations of abuse and neglect,” says BCH president Michael C. Blackwell. “To see them smiling on stage and standing tall is what makes Hope in Style so special. Th e children are able to connect with our sponsors – the people who are making a diff erence in their lives.”

During June we took the thoughts from our fi rst round of meetings and hit the streets of downtown Greensboro and met merchants

and downtown residents and ate at local restaurants. We took time to pray for and lift up those who lead,

Downtown Discernment Update work and live within the downtown area. We got a feel for the rhythm, spirit and landscape of Greensboro. One evening during the prayer walk, we gathered on the corner to to have a community prayer and there were three young teenage boys skateboarding. As we concluded our prayer and lift ed our heads we noticed that one of the young men had joined us in prayer. Th is exemplifi es our hopes of community in downtown Greensboro. We also met around tables for our second round of Discernment meetings to continue to have open discussion about our vision and purpose for having a downtown ministry. We are thankful for all who are participating in this important process and we will continue to update you and provide opportunities for input in this discernment process. Contact Kim ( kim@fb cgso.org ) or Alan ( pastor@fb cgso.org ) with your questions or thoughts.
