Pastor [email protected]
Several months ago, we began preparations for a new
ministry called Spiritual Family Tree. Kevin Martin came
up with the idea of one church member being in a supportive
relationship with up to six other members. This idea has been
embraced by the church and we are now just weeks from its
implementation. During the month of May or in early June, more
information will be sent out as to how this ministry will work. Initially,
we will be including adult church members who currently attend either
morning worship service. We would like to include everyone, but this
will be our starting point.
Building construction is moving ahead. We anticipate that construction
should be complete sometime in June. A community wide open house
is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, June 29, with the dedication
services and meal on Sunday, June 30. More information will come as
we draw closer to the date.
There is much going on at HSBC. To God be the glory and praise.
PARENT / BABY
DEDICATION
Our Parent / Baby Dedication will be heldMother’s Day, May 12th. If you would like
to participate, please contactthe church office.
And let us not be weary in well-doing:
for in due season we shall reap, if we
faint not. Galatians 6:9 (ASV)
FELLOWSHIP
2013 LADIES’ TEA
More than 90 guests attended our
Ladies’ Tea. Although we asked our
ladies to sign our guestbook, our youngest
guests, seated in carriers and laying in
their mother’s arms, were often not
listed. Additionally, eight men assisted in
various ways.
The decorations were beautiful, the
program remarkable, the food delicious,
the women gorgeous. What else could
we have hoped? To achieve this result,
I would like to thank everyone who
helped, most notably, Lisa King, who
took charge of the event when my
mother’s health deteriorated.
Thank you, Lisa, and the many
miscellaneous volunteers who created
this stunning affair.

The Planning Team will be meeting
soon to evaluate the Tea and begin
thinking about next year in a larger
space. We will also be looking at the
total cost of the event including many
donations, and hope to bring the church
the cost of this year’s Ladies’ Tea at
the next business meeting.
For a mixture of Fellowship and
Discipleship, join us on Monday evenings
at 6 p.m. at the church for Movie Night.
We’ll be watching the Bible. This is not
the series which just aired on the History
Channel. Men are welcome, so bring
your husbands. Children are also
welcome, but childcare is not provided.
For more information, contact: Brenda
Jones.
DISCIPLESHIP
Nearly 40 women have been involved
in Bible study this spring. Those studies
will conclude by the end of April. I will
be teaching a study this summer by
Shannon Ethridge, Every Woman’s
Battle Discovering God’s Plan For
Sexual And Emotional Fulfillment.
Because of the topic, there will be no
sign-up sheets. The start date and study
location has yet to be determined.
Please contact me to volunteer to host
the group or to enroll in the class.
SERVICE
We’ll be Treating The Kirksville Fire
Department well in May. We will need
8 dozen (homemade) and healthy treats.
Please sign up in the foyer and have your
donations at the church no later than
noon on Thursday, May 23. Contact
Vickie Rudd for information.
SHOEMAN WATER PROJECT
The Ladies’ Tea planning committee
liked the used shoe project last year so
much they wanted to do it again. Thank
you for contributing your gently used
shoes to those in a third-world country
who need footwear. These shoes will
be sold to streetside vendors who resell
the shoes to those who have limited
resources. The funds generated from the
sale of your donated shoes purchases
water drilling rigs and purification
equipment to provide life-giving water
for these people.
I would also like to especially thank
Pastor Charles for the two radio
interviews he did for the Shoeman Water
Project.
MINISTRY
Higher Hope continues to be an
effective ministry for our church. The
church office occasionally receives
phone calls from the hospital chaplain
or other area providers for information
about our group or requesting the Higher
Hope ministry to contact someone.
Additionally, the group’s Facebook page
has been an encouragement and
information source for those who wish
to remain anonymous or do not live in
our geographic area. Monthly meetings
continue the first Tuesday of each month
at the church. Results are difficult to
define, and yet growth and healing are
observed in many.
Kay ShelbyKay ShelbyKay ShelbyKay ShelbyKay Shelby, Women’s Ministry Director
660-349-7268, or [email protected]
Job descriptions for three areas
within the Higher Hope ministry will be
written soon and will go through the
process of being approved.
The Wave of Light has been
scheduled for October 12. Our hope is
to have it at Rotary Park, but in case of
inclement weather, it will be held at the
church.
Love, Lily is dedicated to
demonstrating God’s love to pregnant
women and their babies by donating
handmade layette items to Lifeline
Pregnancy Resource Center.
We want to show the love God has
for women and their babies by giving of
our time, talent, creativity, and heart.
These blankets and booties are
prayerfully made in the hopes that the
warmth and comfort they give will be a
testament to God’s love for them during
the pregnancy and for their entire lives.
Yarn has been donated to Love, Lily.
If you would like to use this yarn to knit
or crochet for Love, Lily, or for other
information please contact Stacy
Tucker-Potter.
Additionally, the women’s ministry
was asked to provide centerpieces and
pies for the Grand Oaks Capital
Campaign banquet held on Saturday,
April 27. These centerpieces were
donated to those who attended the
banquet. Kathy Adkins, Joy Taylor and
the Decorations budget provided five
centerpieces; paper tea pots remaining
from the Ladies’ Tea were also donated.
Dee Matheney provided the pies.

I want to thank everyone who
participates in and supports the many
aspects of Women’s Ministry. It is a
pleasure to work hand in hand with
others who love Christ and who are
striving to grow in Him. In all we do,
it’s not hard to rejoice in the compelling
unity and love expressed for one another.
Ladies, it is a joy to watch Christ work
in and through you willingly, sacrificially,
generously, and graciously.
May Jesus alone be glorified.

The purpose of the Church is to glorify God by fulfilling the Great Commandment
(36"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart
and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: ‘Love
your neighbor as yourself.’ 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:36-40)
and the Great Commission
(18Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make
disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to
obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20).

What a blessed day we had on
Easter. I want to thank the choir for a
great job on their cantata and for their
dedication to practices and Sunday
morning leading of worship. It has been
such a joy to see the sanctuary so full
on Sunday morning. And you all sound
so good as you lift your voices in praise
to the Lord! Psalms 18:49 reminds us,
“Therefore I will praise you among the
nations, O Lord; I will sing praises to
your name.”
Here are a few important dates
regarding the choir. We will have choir
practice on Mother’s Day, May 12. Our
last practice will be May 19, and then
we will take a brief hiatus during June
and July. Regular practices will resume
on August 4 so that we can prepare for
Worship in the Park.
Let me know if you would like to
share your musical talents during the
summer while the choir is not singing.
Looking forward to seeing you in
worship as we continue to praise His
name!
Ben Austic,Ben Austic,Ben Austic,Ben Austic,Ben Austic, 11am Music Minister
I relate life experiences through
music. If you’ve read my newsletter
articles, you probably guessed that. Last
month I wrote about how the testimony
of Andrew Peterson’s song “Nothing to
Say” helped to change my eternity. I also
said that the songs we sing at church
are there for us to sing our testimony. I
want to talk about music as a testimony.
The hymnal is full of songs that were,
at the time of their writing, contemporary
witnesses to the work of the Holy Spirit
in the life of the writer. They are a
testimony. Hymns are a path of faith
blazed by the faithful. Psalm 143: “I
remember the days of old; I meditate on
all You have done; I reflect on the work
of Your hands. I spread out my hands to
You; I am like parched land before You.”
Hymns help us remember and reflect.
They are like grandparents: they teach
us lessons from experience; hymns give
us roots. They are an opportunity for us
to experience and learn from the
testimonies of generations past.
If hymns are our roots, then modern
worship songs are the branches. They
are the testimony of what God is doing
now. They are the new growth. If hymns
show us where we’ve been on the path,
modern songs show us where we are
now. In Psalm 144 David writes, “God,
I will sing a new song to You; I will play
on a ten-stringed harp for You the One
who gives victory to kings, who frees
His servant David from the deadly
sword.” God wants us to sing new
songs; to testify about how He
continually frees His servants from the
deadly sword. He is doing that very thing
amongst us now… So we sing new
songs testifying about it to encourage
each other.
The goal of our contemporary
worship is to sing about what God is
doing, what God has done and ground
all of that in God’s word. We will sing
the best of the hymns and the best of
modern worship. And as we sing, we will
praise Him for His mighty works, thank
Him for His salvation and worship Him
because of His worthiness. Our desire
is for every worshipper to walk out of
the church on Sunday with their faith
strengthened, confident that they are on
the right path with God’s word lighting
the way into the future. I look forward
to seeing you Sunday!

Summary of ChurchCouncil Agenda
Items
These items are donatedto the
Christian Community Food Depot.
Church Council recently discussed the
following:
Building Update – Progress continues
with a completion date possibly in June.
Preschool Class Move – Preschool
classes will move to their new spaces
as soon as they are available. The 3 yr
old (Vickie Falls/Sue Sprague) and 4 yr
old classes (Debbie Athon) will move into
the new structure, with the nursery and
toddlers moving into the 18-30 month
classroom and the 3 yr old classroom,
respectively at the time the new
construction is completed. Sunday
School Promotion is scheduled for
Sunday, May 19. With a possible
completion date for new construction in
June, this will necessitate two classroom
moves for these children.
Open House Post-New Construction
– Copies of invitations and the order of
the Dedication Service from the
Education Building’s dedication were
reviewed. Possible dates for the
Dedication Service and Open House
were discussed. Tentatively the Open
House will be held on Saturday, June 29,
with the Dedication Service on Sunday,
June 30 followed by a carry-in dinner.
Property Acquisition – The Building &
Grounds Committee will be meeting with
the Finance Committee to determine the
source of $8,000 for the purchase of a
strip of land south of the car wash on
Osteopathy owned by the distributors.
The owner has strongly suggested he
would want the land paved if it were to
be used for parking. Maintenance of
the property would be an added expense
for the church until the lot is paved.
Additionally, the Building and
Grounds Committee will be consulting
with the Finance Committee to discuss
financing the replacement of the
sanctuary and office/foyer roof as it is
noticeably deteriorating.
When these items have been
adequately addressed, the Building and
Grounds Committee and the Finance
Committee will bring joint
recommendations to the church
for approval.
Spiritual Family Tree Ministry – The
Nominating Committee will submit a list
of volunteers for the Spiritual Family
Tree Ministry for church approval at the
next business meeting. Those whom the
volunteers will be contacting are
members who currently attend morning
worship services.
Spiritual Family Tree Ministry Job
Description – The ministry job
description was reviewed and approved
for presentation at the next business
meeting.
Easter Egg Hunt Evaluation – We had
good participation and a good event.
There was consensus the afternoon was
a better time than the morning to hold
the event in future years.
Easter Evaluation – There was a
modification of location from the grassy
area on the east side of the sanctuary to
the west side of the parking lot. This
allowed more sunshine and pavement
rather than more shade and muddy
ground. Overall, it was agreed to be a
better space to use again next year.
Usher Ministry Job Description – The
Ushers/Greeters Team Job Description
was reviewed and approved for
presentation at the next business
meeting.
Discipleship Team Update – Comments
and suggestions are being reviewed.
Child Security Task Force Update –
It was noted that action items are in
process and wording is being finalized.
Mother’s Day Flowers – It was agreed
to again give flowers on Mother’s Day.
The Nominating Committee volunteered
to find someone to purchase and prepare
the flowers.
Lake Picnic & Baptism – This event
will be held on Sunday, June 23.
Youth & Family – Wednesday Night
Youth Bible study will continue through
May. The Youth are having good Bible
studies on Wednesday nights, including
Bible Drill.
Children’s Church Coordinator Job
Description – This job description was
reviewed and approved for presentation
at the next business meeting.
Personnel Committee reported they
have filled the part time custodian and
fill-in secretary positions. They will be
making an announcement in the
newsletter.
Music – The last choir rehearsal will be
Sunday, May 19. They will not practice
on Mother’s Day. The choir will take a
summer break and resume in early
August to prepare for Worship in the Park.
Church Council will probably dismiss in the
summer unless there is a need to meet.
One pair of shoes serves twice
Once lifesaving shoes,
another lifesaving water!
The Women’s Ministry is sponsoring
a gently used shoe drive. Our shoes will
be donated to Shoeman Water Projects
near St. Louis, Missouri. Shoeman
sells the donated shoes to retailers in the
developing world where they will be
resold for pennies or barter. The resale
of shoes also provides jobs in these
third-world countries. The process
promotes micro businesses, such as hand
pump-repair services and roadside shoe
sales. Affordable shoes are a life-
saving tool as they protect the new
owner’s feet and overall health from foot
abrasions and deadly parasites.
Funds generated from the export of
shoes provide well drilling rigs, water
purification systems, hand pump repair,
and other supplies to bring clean, fresh
water to developing nations, as well as
health and hygiene training.
HOW YOUR SHOES SHOULD BE PREPARED.
1. Clean out your closets of new and
gently used shoes. All sizes and styles
of shoes can be donated.
2. Clean your gently used shoes.
3. Tie the laces together or use a
rubber band to keep both shoes in the
pair together.
4. We will continue to receive donations
(in the church foyer) through
Mother’s Day, May 12.
WHO CAN CONTRIBUTE?
Anyone in our community may do-
nate shoes for this project. You may
share this information at your school or
work place, etc. The donations should
be prepared as above and brought to the
church on or before May 12.
WHAT HAS SHOEMAN BEEN ABLE
TO ACCOMPLISH?
Shoeman Water Projects was
formed in 2008. Since that time, they
have collected more than 1.5 million pairs
of shoes. The Sole Power of donated
shoes has resulted in the purchase of
four water-well drilling rigs, more than
250 wells drilled serving more than
200,000 people, as well as water
purification system installations and well
pump repairs serving clinics, schools and
villages across the globe.
The Personnel Committee would like
to thank Debbie Fincher for accepting
the position of Part-Time Custodian. We
would also like to thank Lisa King for all
of her help with filling in for the Part-
Time Custodian position over the past
months. Thank you both for being such
a blessing to the church.
The Personnel Committee would like
to thank Debbie Fincher for also
accepting the position of
Fill-In Secretary.

Matthew 22:21b “...Give to Caesar what
is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
As I reflect on this past tax season, I
can’t help but think about this verse. We
all “give to Caesar” in one form or
another; income taxes, sales taxes, usage
taxes, etc. But do we all give to God as
we should; tithes, prayers, scripture
reading, worship attendance, service to
his Kingdom, etc. If we fail to pay our
taxes or try to evade them by any number
of means, we risk IRS audit, criminal
investigations, or jail. How much time
do we spend gathering income
statements, receipts, anything we can
find to increase our chances for a nice
refund?
Are we as organized and determined
in our walk with our Lord? Do we tithe
such that we can claim God’s promise
from Malachi 3:10? Do we pray as
Jesus modeled for us in Matthew 6:9-
13? Do we meditate on God’s Word and
act upon it as in James 1:22-25? Do we
gather with our fellow believers in
worship as in Hebrews 10:25? Are we
serving in God’s Kingdom as Paul
describes in Ephesians 4:11-13?
We have all given to “Caesar”, but
are we giving our all to God?
May God bless you in your walk
with Him.

Well, Spring is officially here and we
are seeing signs of the earth once again
awakening from their winter slumber.
Spring is one of my favorite times of
the year because we get to see new life
appearing and warm temperatures are
returning.
We have been seeing those signs of
Spring growth in our Sunday School
classes. The hallway is bustling every
Sunday morning as attendance has been
rising. I encourage you to be faithful to
Sunday School and church attendance
this summer. It sometimes gets easy to
slack off on church attendance during
the summer months because our
schedules are somewhat less structured
and we find ourselves just wanting to
be outside.
Also, as you travel this summer,
please make church attendance a
priority. I don’t know about you, but I
love to visit other churches and take in
their way of doing worship.
Sunday School promotion is
scheduled for May 19 during the 11:00
a.m. worship service. I will be in touch
with the teachers who are affected by
this. Thanks to all of our Sunday School
teachers who have been so willing to
dedicate their time and talents to
teaching. Please take a moment to
show your appreciation to your teacher.
See you in Sunday School!
