Pastor’s Lines Dear Church Family, I am excited about some things this summer!! I am excited about our youth group "trippin" to New Orleans. We had about a dozen teams working in the big scary city and they were excellent. I had the opportunity to be with them for part of the trip and they were such servants. Shower Friday was a blessing as the teens served the homeless community through the ministry of Vieux Carre' Baptist Church. The teens were also blessed to be taught by Reagan Farris. And we are certainly wanting to have him and Beth Hazel Farris return to our church soon. I hear that the youth are planning another surprise event this summer and I hope it comes to pass. Way To Go, Derrick, Eric, and team!! I am excited about VBS. We are going to be full to overflowing with children learning about Jesus. Thank you so much for giving a "just what we needed" offering on Sunday ($1496) to meet all the needs of VBS. I am excited that we have a missions offering emphasis that will support our children in India through the Servnlove Children's Home. We have a friendly competition that we have instituted to help support the mission. Here it is...Nathan, Brian and Br. jeff are competing to see who raises the most money for missions this next week. The staff member who raises the most money, has to kiss a pig (red lipstick and all) So, let's all pull for Brian or Nathan to win the contest. Get those pennies, nickels, and (this year) we are receiving folding money as well. So the winner is the one who raises the most money (not the most weight). Who is gonna win? I am excited about the creative worship services we have been a part of. It is fun to come to the church with a little expectancy. Thanks Nathan and team for making the summer so much fun. BTW, we are also excited to see the attendance in worship staying strong through the summer. I know you are enjoying vacation and it is good to get away, but it is also good to return. I will be taking my family to Phoenix at the end of June. Ray Wells will be preaching while I am away. I look forward to being away and look forward to returning. I am excited about our church giving through the first 5 months of the year. We have given more offering than our church needs for 6 straight months. We are now giving more than the budget, and we are continuing to manage our funds in a conservative, responsible way. We are also continuing to give strongly to the cooperative program and to our missions offerings. God has blessed the offering plate!!! Thank you so much. Have a great day in worship today, Blessings, Br. jeff Church News Church News Church News Personnel Committee meets today, June 14th at June Activities June 14 June 21 June 28 VBS Prep Day No PM Activities Father’s Day No PM Activities Ice Cream Social Bring Your Favorite Board Game 3:30 pm in Maxine Meyer’s Classroom.
