This Sunday morning we will recognize the High

School Graduating Class of 2014. These young adults have

worked hard to accomplish a goal set before them twelve

years ago. As a church family we want to congratulate each of

you and encourage you in your future endeavors.

Not only are there those graduating High School but

several of our congregation have recently graduated college.

To these individuals we also say congratulations and best

wishes in the days ahead.

The Bainbridge High School Baccalaureate Service

will be held this Sunday evening at Bainbridge High School.

As is our custom, we will not have services here on Sunday

evening that we might attend this community worship event. I

always enjoy the Baccalaureate Service and look forward to

attending this week.

School will be out next week and everyone already has

a busy schedule set up for the summer. I hope you enjoy your

summer but will remember to be faithful in your attendance

and giving to the Lord. God does not take the summer off.

Let us not forget Him during this season of the year.

I look forward to seeing you in Sunday School and

Church this Sunday.

Paul

Volunteer Ministry boxes have been put out. Be sure to fill

out a sheet and drop it in one of the boxes so the nominating

committee will know where you are willing to serve. They are

hard at work trying to get all positions filled and need your

help.

MIGRANT MINISTRY NEEDS HELP During the summer months, Decatur County has hundreds of

farm laborers who come to harvest crops grown by local farm-

ers. To support the farmers and laborers, we have teamed up

with state and local teams who also labor to meet the needs of

individuals and families. A variety of volunteers provide

medical, dental, healthcare education, translation as well as

food and clothing assistance. In addition to hosting a meal for

all the volunteers, FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH has provided

clothing. Workers, clothing, and cash is needed in order to

help all who need it. See the Missions Bulletin Board across

from the office for specific detail on how you can help.

CHILDREN’S CHOIR PROGRAM NOTE Our Children’s Choirs shared a presentation of music on

Wednesday, May 14. Report on that event in next week’s

Builder. Thanks for supporting our children with your pres-

ence. The final Wednesday Choirs date for this spring was

May 14. We look forward to our Children’s Choir beginning

again at the end of the summer, when schools begin.

FELLOWSHIP CLUB All Senior Adults are invited to be a part of the trip to Atlanta

to see the Braves play. See Stacey’s column to the right for

details on how you can participate.

We need your input. Our Senior Adult Committee wants to

continue to host exciting and relevant programs. Please feel

free to call or text me with any suggestions you might have for

Fellowship Club programs in the future.

SAINTS ALIVE We depart at 10:45 on Monday, May 19. Traveling to Thom-

asville, we’ll eat at the Plaza Restaurant and then sing at

Southern Pines Assisted Living Facility. A tour of the Rose

Gardens in Thomasville will follow. Wear your outfits.
