EASTER ACTIVITIES
TO BE ANNOUNCED
Throughout history, the
church has been on the
forefront of ministry during
trying times. During the
medieval occurrences of the
plague, priests & monks
were the ones who visited &
prayed with the sick & often buried the dead. During
the Spanish flu epidemic, churches & ministries
cared for the sick & dying, & buried the victims. On
Banda Aceh, after the tidal wave, missionaries
recovered the dead that Muslims were unwilling
retrieve & bury. As church members we should do
our best to help our fellow church members & our
community as well. Pray that the Covid-19 outbreak
will end quickly, pray for those who are affected by
it, & look for ways to help. Fear does not become a
follower of Christ. Service does.
Easter is going to be great. The Resurrection is the
primary non-negotiable belief of our faith. We rejoice
in the opportunity to celebrate it. Regardless of
whether or not we can celebrate it together, we will
still celebrate the resurrection.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR VBS 2020 June 8-12. You don't have to be available from
Monday through Friday from 9-12 pm to be able to help. Family Night will be Wednesday, June 10. Contact Stephanie or sign up in the Welcome Center!

CONSTITUTION AND BY-LAWS
The Constitution and By-Laws Committee will
propose a change to the By-Laws regarding the
Moderator of Business Meetings and Chair of
Church Council. The proposals provide when the
Church is without a Pastor and has entered into a
leadership agreement with someone who is serving
the congregation in the pastoral role, that individual
will moderate church business meetings and chair
church council meetings during his time here.
The Transportation Committee has a Golf Cart
Policy and Procedure that will be presented.
Copies of the aforementioned proposals will be
available at the church office and other locations
that will be easily accessible once we are back to
worshiping in person. Until then, if you would like to
review the proposals, please contact Chrissy in
the church office and request an emailed or
mailed copy of the proposals.
PHELPS FUND
First Baptist members facing the financial
challenges of a medical condition which requires
special nursing or home care assistance can apply
for limited funding for this assistance from the
church’s Phelps Fund. Applications are available in
the church office.
