Mission Lunch

A Mission Lunch will be served on June 8 after the 11:00 AM service.

A love offering will be taken for the orphanages in Uganda. The

offering will be delivered by Delrose Betts during her mission trip in

July/August.

I am always moved at this time of the year as I think of

those who have given their lives in the Armed Services of our

nation. I think of the families that were left behind, the

unfulfilled dreams, the children who have never known a

parent. I think of the things that I take for granted that were

given through the ultimate sacrifice of many. And then I

remember there are still brave men and women on the battle

fields doing the same thing today. As we prepare to worship

this Sunday take time to thank a Veteran of the Armed

Services for their service, pray for the families of those who

have lost loved ones, pause and reflect on the freedoms we

enjoy. Join us Sunday Morning as we celebrate Memorial

Day.

Men, would you consider going to a Men’s Conference

this August in Nashville, Tn. THE MAIN EVENT,

conference will hear such notable testimonies as Bobby

Bowden, Thom Rainer, Jeff Stuecker, and more. The guest

speaker for the conference will be President George W. Bush.

The conference will be held August 1-2. Registration

information can be obtained through the Church office.

I look forward to seeing you this Sunday.

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.

CHILDREN’S CHOIR PROGRAM NOTE Our Children’s Choirs Parade of Choirs last Wednesday, May

14 was a great event. Thanks for supporting our children with

your presence. I really want to share my gratitude to Erin

Timmons, Dian Bruce, JoAnn Moore and Ame Sanchez for

their leadership of the children’s choirs during the 2013-2014

year. You are all the best!

The handbells even shared a wonderful piece at the close of

the service. Thanks to our newest ringers, Victoria Long and

Pat Harrell for doing so well in your first performance. Bells

will resume rehearsing in the fall so look in this column for

the date and time.

MIGRANT MINISTRY NEEDS HELP To support the farmers and laborers, we have teamed up with

state and local teams who also labor to meet the needs of indi-

viduals and families. A variety of volunteers provide medical,

dental, healthcare, education, translation as well as food and

clothing assistance. In addition to hosting a meal for all the

volunteers, FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH has provided cloth-

ing. Workers, clothing, and cash is needed in order to help all

who need it. See the Missions Bulletin Board across from the

office for specific detail on how you can help.
