Our Ladies’ Day 2010 is now only a week away, Saturday, May 1st. What a day this will be! Ladies, come early for a light breakfast, register, hear our very special guest speaker, Sheila Butt from Nashville, Tennessee as she speaks about spiritual beauty, and stay for lunch. We’re having Olive Garden salad, soup, and those delicious breadsticks. Take another look at the front of your newsletter for additional ladies’ day activities. Of course this is a “ladies only” event.

Men: We could really use your help serving lunch to the ladies on Saturday. We also need substitute teachers for our children’s Bible classes on Sunday morning, May 2nd. Go by the bulletin board in the lobby to sign up to help.

Our Sunday Morning series “Now That I am a Christian” concludes this Sunday. Christ calls me to REJOICE, to be prayerful, to be thankful, and to be hopeful. He calls me to REMOVE from my life any sorrow or sin that would lead me in the wrong direction and to remove my life from any influence that would lead me away from the path to heaven. He calls me to REMEMBER my first love, to think, to decide, and to act. He also calls me to REFLECT the image of Christ to those around me at home, at school, at work, wherever I am. If you would like to read ahead, read Matthew 5.

On Sunday evenings at St. Andrews Road we are looking at the model marriage of Aquila and Priscilla to find three characteristics that we would do well to apply to our own relationships. We read about this model couple in Acts 18:1-3, 18-19, 24-27; Romans 16:3-5; I Corinthians 16:19; and in II Timothy 4:19. Last Sunday we noticed their “togetherness.” You never read about Aquila without Priscilla. You never read about Priscilla without Aquila. They were together in every way. This Sunday evening we will look at another characteristic that we need in our relationships today: THE ABILITY TO ADJUST. I hope you will make plans to be present for this study on Sunday evening.

We had a good men’s and preachers’ meeting this past Tuesday. Bill Young did an outstanding job on the subject of “The Preacher and Mental Health.” We had good attendance, good participation, and wonderful fellowship. We meet every third Tuesday in the month at St. Andrews Road at 10:00 a.m. except for June, July, and December. Cedric Anderson will present our program in May.

NEW PICTURE DIRECTORY COMING SOON! Josh and Aaron Moore will be taking our pictures in June for a new picture directory. Please go by the bulletin board in the lobby to sign up to get your picture taken. Let’s make it our aim to have 100% participation. Since the last picture Cindi and I had taken there have been three additions to our family; two grandchildren and a daughter-in-law. Our little Lily is now well on her way. Whew! Life just keeps on happening, doesn’t it?
