OPERATION BANDANA -
SOLDIER'S PSALM 91 The Associational WMU has started a new on-going
ministry to servicemen to offer inspiration, encouragement, strength and
comfort. Camouflage bandana's are purchased in bulk for $3 each with
Psalm 91 printed on them. These bandana's are given to service men and
women by chaplains to spread the gospel and are useful to cover their face
from the sand and dust; are used for sweat rags; used for an emergency wrap
for a splint, sling or tourniquet. This is an easy way for us to show
our appreciation and minister to those who are putting their life in harms
way for America. Please write a check to Carolina Baptist Association
and earmark it: Operation Bandana. If you have any
questions, call Annette Heatherly at 290-2584. Visit
