As I write this we are in the process of finishing up our packing, loading the car and hitting the road for San Antonio for the annual meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention. Before leaving I wanted to write to say to you how grateful I am to be part of such a loving and giving fellowship! Thanks to your generosity yesterday (Sunday) we were able to exceed our goal for the youth mission trip. Every chance we get we remind our youth how blessed they are to have such a supportive church family. Thank you for loving them and sacrificing so that they can go and give themselves in service next week in Phoenix.
Don’t forget our other mission project our Vacation Bible School. We are joining with two sister churches, Carbondale and Garden City, to reach the children of our area with the Gospel. On Saturday, June 16, we’ll meet at the church at 10:00 a.m. to distribute flyers in the surrounding neighborhoods. If you can come, your help will be greatly appreciated. Stacy Narrin has done a good job organizing and working with the other churches but getting the word out is critical to having success. Each church is covering their area with flyers so please come help us get the word out in our neighborhood.
Due to a change in the schedule we’ll be leaving for Phoenix after the morning service Sunday the 17th. Bill Parker will still bring the message on both Sunday morning and evening but this will give us an opportunity to “commission†our missionaries at the end of the service.
I’m looking forward to seeing you and your family as we gather in celebration this coming Lord’s Day.
