From the Pastor:

Written on Tuesday, April 21st….

We are here! Praise God! It’s been a long time coming. 3 weeks of packing boxes, 2 personal vehicles, 2 rental trucks, a father, a mother, 6 children, 2 deacons, and a dog bigger than most people. All that was just to get here. Then Friday came along and we had a lot of help to unload the trucks. People are still dropping by with food, and we can’t thank you enough, especially since we have not unpacked the pots and pans as of yet. You are all showering us with prayer and love. A gift that cannot be forgotten. We are going to have a few more weeks of unpacking while trying to figure out where everything needs to go. I thank you for your patience during this time period. This got me thinking about the Israelites as they were wandering for forty years. They were constantly packing and unpacking, not just the Tabernacle, but everything they had. This wasn’t an easy task, I’m sure. On each side of the temple, there were enough people to fill the city I came from. 157,000 people to the North of the Tabernacle of Meeting; 151,450 people to the South; 186,400 to the East; 108,100 to the West; and this did not even include the tribe of Levi. And we had trouble moving 8 people! My point is, God is good. He used all these people to work together to get the job done, just as all the people at Stanford Baptist Church helped my family move home. Thank you for your help. I look forward to being part of this family for a very long time. Love You All In Christ, Bro. Nick

From the Mailbox:

Dear Church Family, I want to thank each of you for all the support you've showed towards Hope 53 Ministries in the last 6-8 months. God laid this past January's trip to Haiti on my heart for a reason and I'm thankful that so many people in this church made that trip possible. You all have stepped up your support of an awesome organization and cause in every way imaginable. There were over 30 people from Stanford Baptist at the BBQ Dinner and Auction this past Saturday night at Moreland Christian Church where $7,500 was raised. The proceeds will go towards ministry items that will be used on future mission trips. Thank you! The board of directors of Hope 53 has witnessed how supportive Stanford Baptist has become of the their ministry and they have elected me to become a board member to give our church a voice on the board. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have in regards to anything related to Hope 53 Ministries. Please continue to pray for the upcoming mission trip to Haiti this summer in which many of our church members will be a part of. Thanks, David Grigson

Saturday, April 25 @ 9:30 AM

The mission teams will be serving concessions at the Great Awakening Revival next week, before and after each service. Donations of brownies, cookies, or bar cookies are needed. If you would volunteer to make some, they ask that you individually wrap them. They can be brought to the church each day of the revival or to the services. The teams thank you for your continued support.

Musically Speaking

Stuart Underwood, Minister of Music

Thanks to George Munday for a beautiful offertory of "Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus". Also the Adult Choir did a great job on the fast paced anthem "The Church of the Living God". This Sunday Becky and Laura Lee will be playing our offertory. The Adult Choir will be singing "Calvary Is the Sea" with soloist Becky Hacker.

Have a great week! Stuart
