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 Celebration 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 music 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.
