We will be having a Legacy Center Calendar: Shower in May. Watch for details, so we can help Apr. 2nd- Cradle to Cross Easter Drama with this worthy cause.

Our Annie Armstrong Offering is in progress. Please give generously. This offering helps the missionaries in the field and helps to plant new churches where there is a need. We voted to give $80 to purchase 10 “Jesus Loves You” teddy bears for the ministry that supplies law enforcement officers and social workers with teddy bears for when they work with children. Heather Sawyers told us about this ministry in her talk at Baptist Ladies Day. Baptist Ladies Day was held on March 8. We had special speakers and music. What a blessing! Article: Whew I must say a quarter of the year has already flown by, but we still have a lot of things to look forward to this year for and from our youth program. I thought our Youth Sunday went very well, and I hope that you were all blessed by our youth leading the worship service and felt God's presence among us. A big thank you for all the youth who spent their time practicing and preparing for Youth Sunday, you guys did wonderful job! I am very proud of you all! We also got the chance to watch the movie "Do You Believe?," from the creators of God's Not Dead. I would strongly suggest that those who have yet to see the movie, to go and see the movie. It is another great Christian movie that will challenge your faith and will make you want to put your faith into action. Speaking of putting our faith into action, our youth group will begin to take small mission requests to amongst our church and community. If you know of someone who could use some help in performing tasks in or around their house, our youth group will be happy to schedule a date for a few of us to come out and complete. I do want our group to get out in our community to do some service projects, however please be aware of the busy lives our youth do live; I say this because our youth are already have a lot on their plate balancing school, sports, family, work, etc. So if you need something done or know someone that needs help, please let us know in advance so we can schedule it and be sure that some youth are available to help. Also keep in mind that youth will be doing these projects, so there are certain things that might need some experienced adults to even attempt (anything roofing related, cutting, construction, etc). Thanks to Sandra Hiatt, our WMU Director for coordi- I would also like to extend a special thank you to all of those cards, appreciation gifts, prayers, and word of mouth praises that I have received in light of Youth Sunday and Pastor Appreciation. I will continue to do my best of my abilities and requirements. I hope that this year will continue to be a blessed year for your family. As with any of this information if you have any questions please feel free to ask! My email is [email protected] and my cell phone number is 336-816-8474. Thank you for support and have a blessed month! nating this event. What a blessing! Love in Christ, Heather Sawyers spoke at the 8:30 service and Sandra Scott spoke at the 11:00 service. They both did an outstanding job. The special music was wonderful, too. Thanks for all who had a part in this special day. Rev.
