One of the potentially big things on the horizon is our Evangelism Day on Sunday, April 24. Evangelist Charles Mays will be preaching in our morning services. This

would be a great Sunday to bring with you any persons you’ve been sharing with in this More Than a Face initiative. The sermon will have a strong evangelistic appeal. Let’s be praying now that God will save some people that Sunday. Missions Celebration is around the corner. What a great opportunity to rub shoulders with missionaries, hear stories of what God is doing around the world, and make our own commitment to serve this summer in Mission Hot Springs. Let’s pray about this great event too. Thank you, Katy Wreyford, for your excellent work on developing a new website for the church (www.firsthotsprings.com). Let me encourage all of you to check it out. It is a great resource. You might encourage some of the people you are talking with about Je-sus to check it out. This Sunday we’ll be finishing our Spring Cleaning series. I intended to preach on the sin of self-centeredness, but I sense God moving me in another direction. Let’s talk about the sin of bitterness on Sunday. Few sins create as much trouble as this one. See you Sun-day. Your Pastor, John

Education & Outreach Ministry

The basic goals of the Nominating Committee and how it works: *Pray for the Lord’s direction and work in the lives of members to place them as He sees fit. *Encourage all church members to discover their spiritual gifts and complete a Christian Service Survey to find a place to serve the Lord, the church and the community. *Thank current workers on the Servant Leaders List and find out if they will continue. *Help provide names of potential workers to leaders of organizations. Inform Leaders and committee to confidentially clear names of poten-tial workers with the committee before enlisting to ensure a good match and a manageable spread of responsibilities. *Enlist church members only for Directors and teachers and other critical positions. *Our Insurance Company now recommends that we wait at least 6 months before enlisting new members to work with Birth through Youth age groups to prevent background problems, even if they have a clear background check. Each minister will initiate background checks for their workers with kids. *Our Insurance Company also recommends we have at least two adults in each room with kids as well as two on each vehicle for church trips.
