Second Van Certification Course — Thursday, May 15 @ 6:30 in the
Fellowship Hall
I want to thank you for your prayers and concern
during my recent hospital stay. My procedures were
successful and I am back on track where I need to be.
However, I will need to make some decisions and changes in
the days ahead. I covet your prayers during this time.
Thank you, Eldon Eckard, for your messages last
Sunday morning. I listened to our service over the internet
and was blessed by the music and the message. God always
speaks to those who will listen.
We will celebrate Mother’s Day this Sunday morning
and I hope the Mom’s of our congregation will take advantage
of the Mother’s Day Breakfast being served from 9:30 to 10
AM in the Fellowship Hall. Ladies, come and let the men
provide you breakfast.
Wouldn’t it be great to gather in worship this Sunday
morning in a full house at 8:30 and 11:00 AM? We would
gather not because of a special event, guest, or offering. We
would gather because it is the Lord’s Day and we want to
honor Him. Wouldn’t it be great if we all came with only one
thing on our mind, hearing from God and worshiping Him?
Church is not a political forum, it is not a business, it is not a
social club, church is where the people of God gather for the
purpose of God to be united in the presence of God. Wouldn’t
it be great if you were here this Sunday? I hope to see you
then.
Paul
Volunteer Ministry boxes have been put out. Be sure to fill
out a sheet and drop it in one of the boxes so the nominating
committee will know where you are willing to serve. They are
hard at work trying to get all positions filled and need your
help.

AWANAS WOW US AGAIN A special thanks to Stacey Sweitzer and her awesome team of
AWANA leaders. Last Sunday’s AWANA Awards Celebra-
tion was great. We were all encouraged to see how effective
the AWANA ministry is in reaching children for Christ and
for training them in their Christian walk. And, the kids and
leaders are having a great time as they do it. Thanks to each
student and leader for a job well done!
CHILDREN’S CHOIR PROGRAM NOTE Our Children’s Choirs will share a presentation of music on
Wednesday, May 14. The choirs will sing and share their mu-
sic at 7:00 PM that evening. Support our children with your
presence and your encouragement that evening. The final
Wednesday Choirs date for this spring will be May 14.
FELLOWSHIP CLUB Last Monday’s Fellowship Club was a record breaker. We had
a huge group of folks show up for a great meal on the Flint.
Thanks to Lewis Jones for a great job in cooking all those
hamburgers. They were delicious. The water wasn’t too safe
for the ride on the river, so we plan to reschedule the boat ride
for another day in the summer. Please feel free to call me with
any suggestions you might have for Fellowship Club programs
in the future.
SAINTS ALIVE Each of you should have received a copy of our 2 month
schedule of ministry opportunities. We have some great times
ahead!
Calendar Note: First Baptist Church will cancel its services on
the evening of Sunday, June 29. The Saints Alive Choir has
been invited to share music for 3 churches who will meet at
Eldoreno Baptist Church for a 5th Sunday Night Sing!
