Pastor's Notes

Today I am teaching a Sunday School class at Bethel Bible Baptist Church in Carney's Point. During the morning service, Sarah and I are scheduled for special music. We will practice with Mom, and either sing or play our instruments. Tonight, I will be preaching for the evening service at Hardingville Bible Church. When I last communicated with Pastor Franklin, he was in Panama on a Mission's Trip.

While I will enjoy being in the pulpit, I miss being with you. As much as I enjoy spending time with my family, my heart is here, and I am looking forward to coming home on Monday. I love you all and am excited to see you next week.

Next Sunday, we will have Matthew and Michelle Conrad with us for the day. They will share with us the burden that God has given to them for the people of Hong Kong. I look forward to the time of fellowship that we will be able to spend with them. They have several meetings in the area, and are using our Mission's Apartment at Maranatha.

July 4, falls on a Sunday this year. We will be having a morning service, followed by a time of grilling on the front lawn of the church. This will be followed by an outdoor service. There will be many activities for the family around town on that day, and you are welcome to stay for the afternoon into the evening to enjoy the day.
There will be a parade which passes by the church in the afternoon, and a fireworks display in the evening.

There have been a number of items that have come in for VBS. If you are able to help with providing materials for the crafts, check out the list a few posts below. Also, we will need some fishy (underwater exploration) decorations. Please make sure your name is on what you want returned.
