BAPTIST CHILDREN’S HOME FOOD ROUNDUP: During the month of April, we will be collecting items for the Baptist Children’s Homes Food Roundup. This is a very important ministry to help restock the pantries of the Children’s Homes across North Carolina. There will be two containers in the foyer for your donations, one for food and personal care items and one for cleaning supplies. There is a list of needed items at the end of this bulletin. Just click the link. (This has been shortened from previous years). Please make sure food expiration dates are as far off as possible. As well as items listed, gift cards to Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club, Food Lion, Lowes, Ingles and Piggly Wiggly will be very much appreciated. You can give gift cards to Bobbie White. Donations are due NEXT SUNDAY. Thank you so much for participating in this ministry
THANK YOU: Thank you so much for your cards and prayers after my father’s passing. Thank you also for the beautiful plant. Your kindness is greatly appreciated during this difficult time and you have been a blessing. Love in Christ, Beth Salmon
THANK YOU: I want to thank the Athens Drive Baptist Church family for the cards and phone calls during my recovery time after my surgery. This means a lot to me and my family that we have a loving and caring family. I have a ways to go but I know God is with me. We are so lucky to have such a loving church family. God bless everyone. Bill Bielby (Dawn & Jessica)
AED DEFIBRILLATON: The AED Defibrillator has been installed on the wall as you enter the Nursery hallway from the front foyer. Please watch for announcements re: information on training. Thanks to Steve Borisuk for installing the device.
