We want to honor Robert Robinson in our 11 AM service this Sunday Morning.

As of the 30th of April, Robert will be retiring after 33 plus years as church custodian. In appreciation of his work and dedication we will have a basket at the front of the church to place cards in and will have a Money Tree available to attach a love offering. Dont miss this opportunity to say Thank You! to Robert. I want to thank the many volunteers that help minister over the weekend from our Benevolent Committee and Audio/ Visual Committee. You did an outstanding job caring for the two families in their time of bereavement. Most folks dont realize how many volunteers it takes to make a church effective. While there are paid staff members, they can only do so much. It is the volunteers that make the church hum. We are heading into the season of gathering new volunteers for committees and offices of the church. I hope you will be praying that God will lead you to His place of service for you. Are you praying for our church? I hope so. If you are, or, are not, let me give you some things to pray for: Ask God How He can use you. Pray for the Staff and Gods leadership in their lives. Pray for the activities and ministries of the Church. Pray for one another. Pray for future events, VBS, Summer Camps, etc. Pray for God to revive us! I look forward to seeing you this Sunday. Paul
