Ok, calling all crawfish eaters!  We need those who have not signed up for our crawfish/shrimp boil set for Sunday, May 8, beginning at 5:00PM to do so no later than this coming Sunday, May 1.  We just need to get an estimate as to how many to expect so adequate food can be prepared.  Call the church office or sign up this Wednesday, 4/27, or Sunday, 5/1, in the services.

Senior adults, we need for you to sign up for the lunch that will be provided for you in our CAB immediately following the 10:30AM service on May 1.  Contact Bro. Jerry Hovel for more information.

Summer is here in Grand Bay, Alabama!  The ten day forecast calls for lows in the upper fifties tonight and tomorrow night.  After that, the daily highs will be in the eighties and the lows in the sixties.  Good for gardens.  Not good for me!  By the way, it appears the rainy season has begun in Guatemala which is a good thing.

I pray that you will have a great Monday with Jesus!
