Page 2 From the Pastor I need to send out some Thank You messages this week. First, allow me to thank all of you who came to church this past Sunday. It is exciting to hear there was quite a crowd the week following Easter! Secondly, a big thanks to Josh for filling the pulpit in my absence. Thirdly, thank you to our church family for allowing us a Sunday morning to attend the dedication service of our granddaughter, Paislee. It has been 18 years since I was on the opposite side of a baby dedication! Finally, allow me to give a big thank you to the nearly 30 people who took part in our Helping Hands on Saturday. A lot of work went into 5 or 6 homes that would not have been accomplished without you. Speaking of child dedication; if you would like to participate in our Child Dedication time on Mother s Day, please call the church office and let us know you are coming. Some parents may be new to our church, or your child is a little older and you would like to participate. We will spend some time in that morning service acknowledging that our children are a heritage from the Lord and will pray together to be the parents God has called us to be. We will also publicly pray for the spiritual growth of our children as they mature physically. Watch for news of meetings for our Vacation Bible School and Love Week. We are building toward having a great Summer! Stay informed and involved because the Lord is doing great things all around us! Blessings, Bro.
