Go Ye Into All The World!



"Came and See Kataba Baptist Church" is a village church near Livingstone, Zambia. The children pictured were some of the many we came in contact with while ministering with our missionaries Bob & Jody Hayton. I share this picture with you as a reminder that we need to be praying for those who are laboring around the world seeking to proclaim the Gospel to those who have never heard.

I will have more to say about this in the weeks ahead as we prepare for our Missions Conference at the end of April. Please pardon our website which is still not up and running as we would like.
Please Note these Changes in our Calendar :

- Bible Conference with Dr. Cummings was canceled, pray for Dr. Cummings as he deals with canceled

- Mother/Daughter Banquet will be held in the church fellowship hall at 6PM, Friday, April 3rd. Ladies you may reserve a place by calling the church office. Mrs. Elaine Camp will be our special guest for this event.

- Easter Breakfast will be served beginning at 8:15 AM, April 12th. Come and join us for good food and fellowship. Then stay for as we exalt the LORD JESUS CHRIST our RISEN LORD!

- April 18th is packed full of activity as the Primetimers are headed to Jeff's Antiques in Springfield, Ohio at 9 AM. The Children are having a Mexican Party in beginning at 3:30PM. The Teens have a spectacular outing beginning at 6:30PM.

- April 26 - 29th Faith Promise Missions Conference with Brother Rick Flanders, Skip Harkins, Ron Weber, and Cindy Grover. Plan now to be at each service.

The Psalmist reminds us a great truth in Psalm 144:15 "Happy is that People, whose God is the LORD."

YES!

YES! That seems to be our granddaughter Lorain's expression to a wonderful sunny day! YES! is certainly our expression to having our website back up and running. We have been without for almost three weeks. Our apology to those who have come seeking information or encouragement. Our special thanks to the kind technicians who have labored to restore our site.

Just a quick word about this coming Sunday, March 15th. Blue and White Sunday was established as an annual observance 12 years ago. We recognize that those who serve our community in the criminal justice system provide a very important ministry to us. We wanted to say thanks. This year our theme is Freedom for All! Our special speaker is Ben Burks the international director for Reformers Unanimous International. This special service begins at 9:30 AM and will be followed with a dinner for our honored guest. Please Join Us As We Say, THANK YOU!, TO THOSE WHO HAVE COMMITTED THEMSELVES TO PROTECT AND SERVE!

Baptismal Service will be held this Sunday, March 15th at 6pm. Come join us as new believers follow the Lord in obedience to His command in Matthew 28:19
