What a great Sunday we had last week as we celebrated Resurrection Sunday! One of my friends, who is a pastor, told his people that he had so much fun at worship, he thought they should do it again next Sunday! What a great idea!!! I am so glad you are here again today to worship our Lord and Savior. I have been burdened lately about how we pick and choose days that will be good when we come to worship. Every day should be GREAT because of the privilege we have to worship our Savior!!! I hope you worship Him with all your heart today!!!
I hope you have a great week!

Word of the Week
This past Wednesday night we had our Service of Shadows. During the service I found myself feeling a wide range of emotions. I felt empty and sorrowful for most of the time, but then a song would be sung that reminded me Jesus is not in the tomb anymore!! HE IS RISEN!!!
I found myself thinking about how Jesus’ mother must have felt, the disciples, true followers, Pilate, the soldiers as He was being crucified. But even after the resurrection there was still fear and uncertainty. I still have questions and fears today, but I know that Jesus is alive and that is enough for me! How about you?
Happy Easter!

Word of the Week
Thirty years ago or so, the members of First Baptist made a decision we all benefit from today. They purchased and/or donated the land across the street behind the church building where the new missions building and parking lot now sit. When the purchase was made, I am confident they had no idea what would be built or how the land would be used. However, I am thankful for those people who had the dream and vision of what could be on that land.
Today as a congregation we are faced with the same opportunity! At the end of each service we will have a called church conference to discuss purchasing nearly 4 acres of land just east of the missions building and across on Inez Hardy Way. I have no idea what will be on that land one day or how soon it will happen, but I do believe it is a step in the right direction for the future of FBC!
I hope you have a great week!

Word of the Week
If I were to have to choose one of my least favorite days of the year, it would be April 1! April Fool’s Day! I absolutely despise the “fun” people have by trying to trick each other. I have enough to think and be concerned about without worrying about someone pulling my leg or trying to play a joke on me! It drives me nuts to not expect truth.
It was a reminder to me of how thankful I am that God is TRUTH! He is steady, unchanging, and faithful! He is the same yesterday, today, and forever! I sure am glad!
I hope you have a great week!

PLAY BALL!!!! THE TRUE MEANING!
I am so ready to hear the first call from the umpire to “PLAY BALL!” I love baseball season, but I love it for more than the game itself. With baseball comes other things I really enjoy! Don’t get me wrong. I am excited about Cameron, Easton, the Zebras, and the Rangers seasons to get into full swing, but I am ready for other activities of the spring as well.
The first activity of spring is Disciple Now 2011 . . . I LOVE IT!!!! I get excited about DNow because it is an event that takes so much work from the entire church to come to fruition. It takes the kids signing up and inviting their friends, host homes, leaders, food coordinators, prayer warriors, and the list goes on and on!!! I love the unity and excitement it brings to the church body. If you are not involved in some way already, it is not too late! Start praying today! The event starts Friday night and will wrap up with worship on Sunday morning.
The second activity of Spring is not really an activity, it is an EVENT! A world changing event!! On April 24th we will celebrate Easter! I love Christmas but I get giddy about Easter!! It is after all the celebration of the resurrection of our Savior! The hope for all nations! We will once again have our Service of Shadows on Wednesday evening before Easter at 6:30 in the Sanctuary. On Easter morning we will have the Community Sunrise Service at Meinen Lake at 7:00 followed by our 8:30 worship, a churchwide brunch and 11:00 worship. Then an Easter Egg hunt for the children in between at 10:00 am.
I challenge you to find someone in the next few weeks to invite to come to church with you that day to celebrate the Resurrection of our Savior!
So, as you go out to “root, root, root for the Home team,” I urge you to get active in the life of your church. If you have not planned on being a part of DNow, then get involved somehow. If you have not made plans for Easter, start planning. If you have not been to worship in a while, then get to worship! Good things are happening in our midst. SO GET IN THE GAME!!! PLAY BALL!!!
