Congratulations to Ben and
Joyce Flowers on the birth of their
Daughter Alexis Flowers
I am grateful for so many
Volunteers serving our Lord and
impacting our community for Jesus!
Thank you for making a difference.
We can do more if we have more
workers in the fields sowing gospel
seeds. What a great time of the
year to share hope with the hurting.
Resurrection Sunday will be an epic
day we our Adult Choir shares the
musical, “Arise My Love”. There
will be a 7:00 Sunrise Service and a
10:50 service. Invite people to
church this Sunday!!!!!

Keep Serving, Keep reaching others
for Jesus
Blessed to serve as your Pastor
God gives us four seasons to enjoy and my favorite is the "spring time". The beauty of His world comes to us
with so much loveliness - the colorful flowers, the budding of the trees, the birds building their nests and the green
grass and clover with bees and butterflies fluttering around. All our world comes to life and glows with God's
love. This month is also the celebration of Easter when our Lord was brutally killed and then rose from the
dead. His long and painful death proves God's love for us and His death makes it possible to live with Him forever
and forever in the place called Heaven.
Easter is a time for joy and giving. When we give to the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering 100% of this money
goes to support our North American missionaries and their ministries. This can be a time of learning - learning the
hardships of Miss Armstrong who was a woman of prayer that interceded for the missionaries and for those they
were helping to discover Christ. Our goal is $3,000.00 and our church is always so good to "give" - to be obedient
to God's call to share the gospel to someone who has yet to come to know Him. God has given our families so
much so let us give in return to those families who desperately need to know Him as their personal saviour. Thanks in advance for supporting and helping meet our 2015 goal.

A Message from
Bro Adam
Hey FBCD,
This month has sped by incredibly fast! February seems as if it were yesterday, which means that May will arrive
as if it were tomorrow. With all these days coming and going so quickly, I am reminded of Eph 5:5-16, which says
“Be very careful, then, how you live-not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the
days are evil.” If the Lord allows, we have several opportunities this month for students to spend time and grow
together. One such opportunity that we are very excited about is on April 11th, a community wide youth SNL!
The youth leadership team has prayed that the Lord would work to make the youth group more diverse, and we
believe that He has brought this event about as an answer to that prayer! Please encourage any youth in the area to
come and join us as we eat, play, and worship together!
Please pray for the youth group this month as we begin a study on Biblical men, women and relationships. Pray
also for the college students, as we study the lives of Moses, Ruth and Ester.
We’re so thankful for you all and for the blessing that it is to serve among you, have a great April!

Hallelujah! How exciting must it have been to hear the angels proclaim the news “He is not here, for He has risen,
just as He said He would.” Matt. 28:6 Doom and despair were overtaken by rejoicing that Jesus was indeed alive.
Jesus’ promise that He would rise again had come true, and even today His promises are still being fulfilled.
This is a wonderful time of year as we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection. He conquered death, and paid the ultimate
price for sin so that we would not have to. We are forever grateful for that.
At 10:50 on Resurrection Sunday morning our worship choir will present Arise My Love to everyone. This musical tells of the Love of our Savior and gives us as a church the chance to present the gospel of salvation to everyone. Come and worship with us and be blessed by the words that are sung. All are invited.
In HIS grip!!!

Dear Ladies,
What an awesome night you and your church provided on
Saturday, 2/28/2015!
Each decorated table was a “feast of beauty” for the heart
and the eyes. The talent and hard work of each lady was
amazing. Many of the bible verses used are favorites of
mine.
The two young ladies who sang are “so blessed and
talented” as are the musicians.
The food was delicious and the fellowship good. May the
Lord bless the men who served so graciously!
I have read Mrs. Smartt’s columns for years, but never
met her. She was so kind, witty and fun and her wisdom
so abundant! She is “so right” in stating that Satan is
after marriages and the home.
Thank you for providing such a needed and informative
ministry for this area.
May the Lord richly bless your pastor, his family and
each member of First Baptist Church. I pray that each of
you. Keep pressing on, as my family and church plan to
do! We are blessed to be “part of the Family of God”!
In Christian Love, Ruth Miller
First Baptist,
We have been truly blessed by the spirit of generosity at
FBC. Not only is generosity measured in terms of donations, but also your members willingness to donate their
time and talent. Because of your generosity, we were
able to keep Mom’s Day Out going. Thank you for your
donations to Mom’s Day Out. You have all been such a
blessing! Thank you so much. Love, Ms Tabitha and
Ms Leah, Mom’s Day Out
You are invited to a Bridal Tea
