Good afternoon First Baptist!

This is one of those quiet weeks, where all is quiet on the Baptist front. However, that does not mean there isn't anything happening. We have continuing classes (the Gospel of Mark and Spiritual Journaling), Thursday night dinner, and Sunday worship.

For those interested in helping out in the Memorial Day festivities on this

May 26, there are sign up sheets in the church office. I will be judging the pie contest for that event, and I would like to say up front that I cannot be bribed.

Not even a bit.

ADDITIONAL EVENTS & REQUESTS

Senior Social

Senior Social will have their first gathering

on Tuesday June 4th @12:00pm in Judson Hall. Please bring a sack lunch.

This will be a getting acquainted time for all.

Opportunity for Seniors!

The possibility of a social group for seniors is being discussed. This would be a during-the-week-get-together, perhaps with a potluck lunch. Possible activities are card games such as bridge, canasta (remember canasta?), Shanghai rummy, Uno, or board games (whatever you have on hand). What would you enjoy doing for an hour or two, perhaps once a month? Your input will be appreciated.

Leave your suggestions in the church office, with Pastor Shawn,

or call or email Berva Smith (909-863-0327) or [email protected]. We look forward to hearing from you!

"But you, my Lord, are a God of compassion and mercy;

you are very patient and full of faithful love."
