NOTE FROM CAMARGO
Pastor Luna called Monday night & his niece Anna translated. According to Pastor Luna, “We have 27 kids at the orphanage now and crossing the border is safe.” We will go down on a week day in Dec. Let’s start collecting money now, for a Christmas @ Camargo–things are less expensive along the border, and in Mexico, than they are here. More later on this.
Bro. Bill

May 1st is the Church Council.  It will be held after morning worship service
in the Fellowship Hall. All committee heads please bring a report on their
group’s activities for the last month.

Thursday, May 5^th is the National Day of Prayer. Please take time to pray for this nation and its
leaders, at all levels, so we might start following God’s rules not “what seems
right in the eyes of man”.

Saturday May 7th, is the monthly Deacon’s Breakfast at 10: 00 am. Place is TBA.

Happy Mother’s Day to all our mothers. Sunday May 8^th is Mother’s Day. Brittaney Alter will be
baptized that day, too.

WOM was meeting on the 10^th at 6:30 pm, but due to illness on the leader’s parts it is rescheduled until
Tuesday, May the 24^th at 6:30 pm. Anyone needing a ride please call Claudella or Beckie.  This is the
quarterly meeting and all women are invited.

Sunday, May 15th, is the monthly business meeting after morning worship service.
Be prepared with any questions or suggestions that you may have.  The meeting is to pass along information on
church business and to see direction in our church ministries.

Sunday, May 29^th- will be our celebration for Memorial Day. We are having Jerry Lee Norton Bar-B-Q and
the church members are signing up for all the other foods to make a great Dinner & Fellowship after Morning Worship Service. Come join with us and
remember our fallen Service Members while having a great time with God’s Family.

Note from Pastor Bill: Well, all of you know what happened last Monday… we had a major
water leak, had to replace a water heater, file an insurance claim, and get some people in to
dry out the walls, floors and control the damage, before an insurance adjuster even got here. We still don’t know
the monetary damages, but know we will have to pay out at least our insurance deductible. We have to make sure the insurance
payment will cover the costs of repair, less that $1000. The Nursery was the most damaged. We will be, temporarily, juggling classes around the damage, and
later the repairs, for Sunday School. We will get over it. We will pray, adjust, work, give, be patient, and we will see the repairs done, the building
restored and our spirits lifted.

We are able to “do all things through Christ, who strengthens me<us>” We must rely on the Lord, hear His word,
and do His will. You and I can do that together, and we can lead others to do the same things, if we are faithful to proclaim the word and work of God
Himself. Isn’t that right?

Put on the “Big Yellow Button” and you will open the door to a wider witness opportunity. The idea is to pray for
people who ask for prayer or just who ask about the button. It starts conversations and provides openings to lead people to the Lord. We have 72 poker
chips to prove it. Remember, if you have any questions ask Sam Brockman.

Due to the Emergency financial measures we voted on in April, We will be having evening services on the 1st and 3^rd Sundays and NO Services on the 2^nd and 4^th Sundays. This cuts down on the cost output for the church. We also are not taking a special Mission offering but are taking an “I Love My Church” offering each Sunday Morning instead. We will revisit these measures at
the August Business Meeting.

Every Tuesdays @10:00am is bible study at GRASP and every Wednesday @6:30 pm is $1/1meal.

Let us pray for our members that are sick or traveling, and the pastor as he prepares for services. Please
remember to pray for all of our brothers and sisters in Christ, our church, our
community, Camargo orphanage, our men and women in armed services, and also the
people who don’t know Christ as Savior. We hope to see you all Wednesday and Sunday. Remember to pray and seek
God’s face daily. Let’s join Him where He is working. May God bless you and
your families!
