FELLOWSHIP CLUB
Our final Fellowship Club gathering this spring will be
held at noon, Monday, May 2. We’ll gather at the Boat
Basin pavilion, just south of the Chamber of Commerce
building. Plan to bring fixin’s that mix well with grilled
hamburgers. Harold Fleshman and Lewis Jones are
manning the grill that morning, cooking up some of the
finest food around. Bring your covered dish and your
appetite. We’re looking for a pontoon boat or two to offer
rides, for those adventurous enough to get on the water.
ASSOCIATION SENIOR LUNCHEON
We took the church van, last Monday to the Bowen
Association’s quarterly Senior Adult Luncheon. This event
was at First Baptist Church in Colquitt. Terry Bell shared
photos and a PowerPoint presentation of his recent mission
trips to Pennsylvania and Toccoa, GA. The harvest is great
and the workers are few. Will you go and serve the Lord on a
mission field? There’s one in our own backyard.
The food was especially good (fried pear pies– yum!) and we
had a great time with fellow Baptists from around our area.
Family Fun Night Crazy Games
Friday, April 29 ● 6:30 pm ● Fellowship Hall
Everyone (adults too!) wear your tennis shoes and comfy clothes and
let's play! We'll do favorites like Shipwreck, Relay Tic Tac Toe and
Human Hungry Hippos, along with some new games like Poolhockey.
It will be family vs. family, kids vs. adults and team vs. team style.
Ages 1st-5th grade are the target, nursery provided. See ya there!
VBS!
Submerged: Psalm 139:23-24 ● June 20-24 (evening, times TBA)
Rotation Leaders Needed! I am looking to fill all the rotation leader
positions. Rotations are preschool and elementary and include
missions, recreation, Bible story, and music. Is God calling you to
serve this year?
AWANA Sunday Nights @ 5:30
It's Board Game Night! Join us on April 17 for Board Game Night!

Spring Cleaning!
Small Groups
Sunday night small groups will be taking a break
until the fall. The last meeting of the year will be
April 24th. We will end the year with a fellowship at
Chip and Patty Hall’s home. Plan to meet with your
group at 5:30 and then join together at the Hall’s from
6:30-8:30.
Summer Sunday Nights
Beginning Sunday, May 1st a Bible study will be
offered from 5:15-6:15 on Sunday nights. We will be
taking a look at 6 foundational truths about God
during our time together.
Please join us as we clean and organize the preschool hallway and
playground! We will meet on Saturday, April 16 at 9:30 am. We need
all hands on deck and extra volunteers. Would you give us an hour or
two? Projects will include cleaning toys, walls and cabinets, as well as,
the playground set and some light painting.

Choir. We will sing “In My Heart There Rings a Melody.”
I have a song that Jesus gave me,
It was sent from heaven above;
There never was a sweeter melody,
‘Tis a melody of love……
