Bits From Bo

Dear Church Family,

            I guess now that Easter’s over, we are officially in summer, of course that’s on the Mississippi calendar.  When average daytime highs approach 90 and the kids are getting out of school, it’s summer, I don’t care what the calendar says about June 21.  And so with the official start of our Mississippi summer our minds turn to camps and trips.  This is your final reminder that if you have a young person that wants to go to camp, they begin June 6 for Senior High Camp, July 5 for Adventure Camp, and June 18 for Junior High Camp.  Just thought I needed to give you another heads up.

            Back our regular activities in May.  We are having a good number of kids turn out on Wednesday nights with number ranges between 25 and 40, depending on the night.  These youth come from a variety of backgrounds racially, economically, and spiritually.  We’d love to see as many of you as possible hanging out with these young people.  Just talking to them and being visible.  Many of them are unsure about church and friendly concerned faces may solidify their attendance and most importantly their acceptance of Jesus Christ.  So if you have an opportunity, spend time with them.

            We have three major events going on in May.  On May 5 we have the National Day of Prayer from 11 to 3 in Memorial Park behind St. Mary’s Basilica.  Friday May 6, Relay for Life in Vidalia 4 pm to 10 pm.  Please come and support our relay team as we help fight cancer.  May 8 is Mother’s Day and we have some special guest speakers.  Shawn and Jerome King, proball players, who are part of the John Jacobs Next Generation Power Force team.

            As you can see the first part of May if very busy with not much going on in the second half of May and this is by design.  For my baby boy Seth and April Roberts are getting married on the 21st.  My wife has me more than a little busy getting our house ready for the wedding.  You see, they are getting married in my front yard.  Lots of cleaning, mowing, painting, staining, etc.  Not to mention moving all my furniture off of the porch so they can bring somebody elses better furniture.

            Continue to remember Bro. Steve.  Our church family and staff in your prayers.

                        Sincerely Yours In Christ,

                        Bro. Bo
