Church Picnic 5-15

A GREAT DAY AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH-THURSDAY:
     Last night Pastor Jeff did a fantastic job of teaching God’s Word at RECHARGE.  Don Sapaugh was a blessing as he shared his ability and talent in music.  There were 125 in Bible Study.  We praise the Lord for the renewed attendance and joy in Bible Study.  Also, there was a large attendance for the church family meal.  We want to thank Lawana Powell and her kitchen crew for the fine and wonderful meals that are prepared each Wednesday evening.  Last night was the last church family meal at the church until school starts in August.  There were many different age group ministries going on last night throughout the building.
     Today the Parent’s Day Out began at 9:00 a. m.  Today the church staff will be at Sulphur Springs High School to serve the school staff lunch.  There will be hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, dessert and drink.  We honor the staff and greatly appreciate their hard work and commitment to teaching the students.  We are blessed in Hopkins County to have great schools and teaching staff to love, educate and help the students.  These students are the future generations, employment and greatness of America.  To all the teachers, administrators and workers at the schools, we salute and thank you for your hard work and commitment.
     Next Wednesday (5/15) the church family picnic will be at the pavilion in Buford Park.  It begins at 5:15 p. m.  There will be plenty of nachos, frito chili pies, hot dogs, and snow cones.  Plenty of games, good food and excitement.  This will be a time for the church family to gather for a great time of fellowship and getting to know each other better.
     Each Friday at 8:30 a. m. in room 108 there is the Men’s Coffee Fellowship.  Don Brown leads this ministry activity.  There is plenty of coffee, great relationships, and time to visit.  Everyone is invited regardless of age.  They pray for the sick and others, also.  Don Brown has a busy schedule ahead as he shares the good news about his new book.
     Marriage Night 2019 is May 17 at FBC.  It begins at 6:00 p. m. in Fellowship Hall.  Marriage experts Francis & Lisa Chan and Les & Leslie Parrott will  lead the simulcast conference.  The cost is $15.00 per person with a meal included.  Childcare is available.  Sign up at ssfbc.org/events.
     Count your blessings today.  A beautiful day outside and so much to enjoy.  You miss the blessing if you only focus on your need and self.  Take time out of your busy schedule and make a blessing to some other person with a kind act of love.
                                        PERHAPS TODAY!!!
     Have a great day in your neighborhood!!     Fred W. Lewis
