A New Addition to the Family!!!!

.
I am so excited to let you know we are about to have a new addition to our family! God continues to bless in amazing ways and this addition is one that will be a blessing to many. First, let me put your mind at rest. Shelly and I are not having another baby! However, the Personnel Committee wishes to inform you that we have a candidate for our vacant Children’s Director position. At our Church Conference in May, we will be presenting Dorothy Brusaw to the church for your support to serve our church and children. I am so proud that within our own body, our people are growing to the point where they are ready and willing to step into leadership positions on the church staff. I believe Dorothy will do a wonderful job for us.

Dorothy and husband, Bob, have been involved at First Baptist for over seven years now and have become very active in ministry. Dorothy has been a volunteer nursery worker for over two years now and has recently taken on the task of teaching our 3 and 4 year old Busy Bees Class on Wednesday nights. She is very driven and self motivated, and I believe she will bring a new dynamic to our staff as she serves in this capacity.

Dorothy is not the only addition we have had to First Baptist. Over the past several months we have seen many new additions to our church. The baptistery has been full on a regular basis, and we have seen many new people joining our fellowship. We must give thanks to God for His blessings! With us having two services now, many of you are having a hard time getting to know who others are, so we are going to be creating a new church pictorial directory soon. I hope you are planning on being a part of our family photo album for 2009! Sign up sheets are in the hallway across from the choir room. Hurry and get signed up so you can get just the right time for you and/or your family! Each family taking a picture will receive a free 8 X 10 photo and a directory.

On a quick note, please keep Prosperity Baptist Church in Rocky Comfort, Missouri in your prayers this month. We will be sending a mission team there from May 22nd through the 27th to put a new roof on their building and do backyard Bible clubs. It is encouraging to see our church ministering to others both in Grandview and beyond!
