There was a lot of activity taking place on the church property yesterday as we continue to move toward the Easter weekend.  Carl Bradley & crew continued to place vinyl on the exterior of the auditorium & office building while Bro. Jerry was leading a group inside the auditorium decorating for the Easter musical/drama which will be presented Friday, Saturday, & Sunday nights.  Thanks to all who are helping in any way! 

Today is going to be a busy day too.  We will meet at 10:00AM in the auditorium for our morning service.  The adult choir & drama team will meet at 6:00PM for a dress rehearsal.  All of our regular classes/Bible studies will meet at their normal times and in their normal places with the exception of our 7:00PM prayer meeting/Bible study for adults.  We will meet in the choir room. 

There are no significant changes in any of the folks hospitalized, battling cancer, et cetera.  Scott Fontenot’s uncle did awaken yesterday so that is improvement.  The funeral service for Martha Patrick’s brother-in-law will take place this morning. 

Korie Fontenot will sign a softball scholarship with the University of Mobile this afternoon at 1:00PM.  The signing ceremony will take place in the auditorium at Bryant High School.  Why do I mention this?  First, to congratulate her.  Second, because her mother and I used to date and almost got married?  (Personally, I think Nanette still has a crush on me but I could be wrong!)  Congratulations Korie!

The UConn women’s basketball team won it all last night capping a perfect season win 39 wins!  That shaking you felt to the South was not an earthquake in Guatemala.  It was Jack Ciak jumping for joy!  Anonymous won our bracket contest among the 8:00PM Bible study group.  If I can’t find “anonymous” then Soy Taylor is the winner!  (I helped Soy with his bracket but am content with letting him bask in the glory!)

Harry Stonebraker was elected yesterday to serve a third term as the mayor of Winfield, MO.  As a matter of fact, he got 90% of the vote winning 206 – 23.  Congratulations to Mr. Stonebraker!  One minor problem – Mr. Stonebraker passed away on March 11.  Of course, this is nothing new for MO as in 2000 Mel Carnahan was elected as their US Senator even though his life had been taken a few weeks earlier in a plane crash.  You ever meet Pastor Bob Harvey of West Auburn Baptist?  He is from MO.  It would help you understand! 

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