VBS…
I hope you have begun preparing your preflight
plans for VBS 2012. Amazing Wonders Aviation
will show us God's amazing power over nature,
circumstances, sin, death and our life. Remember to make one of
your first stops at Ozark Baptist Church on April 28 for the
Associational Training. As always, if I can assist you in any way
with your VBS please contact me at 701-1050 or email me at
rvgl.meacham@yahoo.com. Awesome God! Amazing Power!
program? If you answered “no” to any of the above questions,
please give our Associational Office a call, so we can send out
help to you to get the programs started in your church. Even
if you only have 1 or 2 children – that is enough to have a class
for them. How else will we know about missions, if we don’t
have these programs?
Don’t forget that April 29 through May 3 will be our Bible
Reading Marathon. Some have already started calling to set
up their times, so put it on your calendar to be available to
help us again this year. What a blessing we are still able to do
this. Praise the LORD, and Bless HIS NAME this will be our 8th
year. We need all the help that we can get. Bring your children’s groups and youth to help us also. What a great learning
experience for them too.
Thanks for all you do,
