oble to visif porents in
the hospitol ond hold
their new'born boby
when he or she is iust

seems lo hold on excitement, electricity thot
worms the heort ond
stirs the soul. lt is the
kind of excilement thot
couses us to think oboui

Youth Pastor's Note
Time flies when you are having fun. So I guess I must have
been having fun because it is again time for this note from the
youth pastor. We are excited about many of tlre upcoming events
planned for the youth. We are ending out the school year with a big
fundraiser and a Hill Cats game. The fundraiser will help lower the
cost per student for the Summer Lake Retreat. (I will give more info
on that later.) This fundraiser will be a youttr yard sale, car wash,
and bake sale on May 17th. We will aiso be serving burgers and
dogs (hot dogs) at this event which will have a carnival like atmosphere. So all parents and members of Hunting Creek Baptist
Church, if you have treasures sitting around your home that only
someone else will 1ove, then bring them to the church by May 10tt.
Also, if you are able and willing to help with this venture then
please contact me. Although this helps to benefit the youth, if we
all pull and work together as a church, the community will be better served and they wi-ll see that we are truly the body of Christ.
The Hill Cats game is tentatively planned for July Sth ald
*i ce a -.i;le oi;un a:rci felio*'sh-ip for all rr-ho atrenci. We wiii be
renting a sk5rbox with all you can eat food. The cost per person is
$30 which includes tickets and as I said, all you can eat! There are
only 15 tj.ckets available, so first come first serve. This is frrst and
foremost open to the youth and their invited friends, but if we don't
have all hfteen seats hlled then I will open it up to those outside the
youth. (The date for this may change if too many youth are gone on
vacation durbg this time.)
Last but not ieast, our Summer Lake Retreat on June 1620tn. This will be a great time of fun and fellowship as we water ski,
wakeboard, tube, swim, hsh, and carnp. We wili have speci.al music
and biblica-l teaching throughout the trip. This is our BIG event for
the summer, so don't miss out and invite your friends. I have spent
many days on the water and can guarantee that all safety precautions will be made. If tfiis is a concern then piease talk to me about
this. The cost per student is $250. This is before any and a1l fundraising. So if your student participates in the fundraising then he
or she will earn an appropriate portion of the money raised to go
toward this trip. I do need a $75 deposit by May 4th. If ttris is not
possible but you still want your youttr to go, then talk to me. Also if
there is more than one youth in a famiiy going and the cost is too
much to send all of them, then please make arraignments with me.
I want to see all our youth and their friends attend.
Hill
Cats tentatively set for
July 5th. $30 per ticket

SINGING for Him
byLindaf.Biggs
In choir rehearsal I am often
strange things began to hap-
Director. She not only makes it
haunted by this recurring
thought: Why am I here?
This has plagued me for a
while, and I know I won't
fee any peace until I answer
pen. On several occasions,
people sitting in front of me in
meaningful, she also makes it
fun. She challenges us to be the
best we can be and will not settle for less.
I stay because I enjoy the fellowship among the choir members. We are a family and there
is a sense of belonging in the
this question. First of all,
my voice is nothing special.
I am in awe of those around
me who hae such beautiful
voices. I canaot sine as well
,l' -r,:;' Co. and I don't read
music that well. However, I
usually manage to hit the
correct notes, and I don't
sing too loudly on the really
high ones. I do occupy
space and add volume to the
choir. But there should be
better reasons than these for
being in choir.
As my children were growing up they sat with me in
church. When they started
going away to college, I realized that I would be sitting
alone in church. But that
was not the right reason to
ioin the choir. Then some
church commented to me that I
had a nice voice and should
join the choir. Our minister of
music even asked me to join.
Then my children began encowaging me to do so. So I
began to think, Maybe.
I kept putting if off. finding ali
sorts o1'ercuses. Then one
day I decided to "take the
plunge," so I went to Wednesday night choir rehearsal. I
still haven't figwed out what
finally led me to join the choir,
but I do know why I stay.
I stay because it is a way to
serve in my chwch. The choir
is insffumental in leading the
congregation in worship. It is
good to be a small part of that.
I stay because I love to sing
praises to the
Lord. It is a
beautiful way of expressing
one's love for Christ and His
work.
I stay because of my music

choir.
Last, but not least, I stay because of me. I need it. I ieed
to let the music speak to my
soul. Choir rehearsal has become a very personal devotional time for me. While singing many of the songs, tears
come to my eyes. I am unaware ofanyone else around
me. I feel that the song, was
writtenjust for the purpose of
uplifting me. I always go home
feeling refreshed, renewed in
Spirit, and eager for the next
rehearsal.

WHY THE CHANGE?
I guess now that you
have read this issue
you are wondering
about the changes that
have been made.
a bu
ndant s upp Iy of c opy pape r
When I took over as
the secretary in January I noticed that the
Church had an abundant supply ofcopier
paper in an odd size.
In an effort to use this
paper and keep the
cost ofoffice supplies
down by not ordering
more paper, I decided
to change the format.
This has been quite an
undertaking for me
and I hope that you all
are pleased with the
publication. I apologizeto everyone about
the fact that the size of
the type is smaller
than before. I will be
tweaking this as each
issue is printed. Ifyou
have any suggestions
or comments regarding the changes made,
please do not hesitate
to let me know.
Ifanyone has a
poem or other little
ditly that would be
appropriate for the
newsletter, I would
appreciate a copy to
use,
Carole Rusher
