Bits From Bo

Dear Church Family,

            At the writing of this article the last of our out-of-town guest are here serving in Natchez.  So far we have housed students from Boston University and Hamilton University from New York State, James Madison from Virginia, Northwestern from Chicago, and last, but not least, our favorite folks Don and Cynthia Shaffer from Camptown Missions in Indiana.  A big thank you to all of these groups for their willingness to serve in many different areas around Natchez and Adams County.  Also, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you church for being so flexible and in helping feed and minister to these folks while they were here.  I know that each group left overwhelmed by your hospitality and just general kindness to them on their visit.

            It would appear that our cold days are behind us and things are heating up, not just in the weather, but with the amount of activities and events we have going on.  I’d like to remind all of our parents and youth of some of the activities that are coming up and the deadlines attached to them.  Our youth camps this summer will begin with Senior High Camp (completed 9-12 grades), June 6-10.  Junior High Camp (completed 6-8 grades), July 18-22.  Adventure Camp (completed 3-5 grades), July 5-8.  The reason I talk to you about camps first is because it saves you money to get your registration in as soon as possible.

            Now back to April.  We have a Jews for Jesus Passover Presentation Thursday the 14th.  This take place of our Wednesday night class.  A reminder to all of our youth, I will not be here Wednesday evening.  Movie night is Wednesday the 20th at 5:45 pm.  Bring a friend.  This is a good time to introduce your friend or family member to this church and hopefully to Jesus Christ.  Our Easter egg hunt will be April 23rd from 10 am to 12 pm.  Any youth that would like to help with this would be appreciated.  Also, those of you who need community service hours, here’s your opportunity to get some.  April 29th we’ll have Stonewater here in concert at 7 pm.  It should be an awesome concert.  We have a lot of things going on in May, June, and July.  There will be more on those later.  The only event in those months that need your attention now is the beach retreat.  I’m not sure of the date.  I know it will be this summer and I’m hoping to keep the cost, food, and everything below $200.  Start saving your money now!  Junior High and High Schoolers only!

            Continue to pray for Bro. Steve and Ms. Bobbie and thanks to all of you for the ministry you do for them and our youth.

                                    In Christ Love,

                                    Bro. Bo
