News! News! News!

Good evening to all of you! I trust that you each had a wonderful Sunday. The weather certainly has been beautiful the past few days. I am so glad to see the sun shining and hear the birds singing. We have so much to be thankful for!

I just wanted to take a few minutes to update you on some recent events in our church. A special conference was called tonight to discuss whether to change the times back to their regular times on Sunday evenings (Discipleship Training @ 6pm and Worship @ 7pm). The vote was unanimous. The times will stay the way they are now (DT @ 5pm; worship @ 6pm and choir practice @ 7pm). Please make note of these so you won't miss any of the services, etc. that take place on Sunday nights!

In other news, we are looking forward to the cantata the adult choir has been working on. I encourage you to come out and bring a friend or two. We will be taking a somber look at the journey to the cross. It still amazes me how God can love us so much to send his Son to die on the cross for us (what bountiful love he has for each of us to have suffered and died the way he did)! The cantata will take place Sunday, April 9th at 6pm. (**Note: if you are in the choir, please make note to be at practice Sat., April 8th at 7pm and again on Sun., April 9th at 4pm. Attire will be all black (long-sleeve shirts and pants or black dresses) for the presentation!). Make plans to be in attendance!!

We are also preparing for our spring revival. Services will begin Sunday, April 30th and will end Tues., May 2nd. The pastor from Conagree Baptist Church will be our guest speaker! Hope to see you there!

Gardening Sessions: The session for Mon., April 3rd has been cancelled. The leader of the sessions is not feeling well and will not be able to conduct the session as planned. I pray that he will be feeling better soon!

There will be an XYZ meeting Friday, April 7th @ 7pm. I understand this group always has a lot of fun! Make plans to join them if you are interested in being part of a fun, God-loving group! They'd love to see you there!!

The gym will be open for the youth on Sat., April 8th from 7-10pm.

There will be an Easter egg hunt Sat., April 15th for all children from 2-5pm. Donations of eggs, snacks, etc. will be greatly appreciated!

Also, don't forget about First Place on Monday evenings. Weigh-in is at 6:30 and the sessions start at 7pm. All are invited to attend.

I would just like to say a special thank you to all who make our church run smooth! It takes everyone doing his/her part in God's kingdom for things to get done. There are so many people doing little things that make it all happen. Without them, it just wouldn't be the same! Thank you again and God bless!

I hope each of you will have a wonderful week. Remember to keep our military, those in positions of leadership, sick, bereaved, etc. in your prayers. We truly never know when we will be the person in need. Take care and bye for now!

Love in Christ,

Tina :-)
