Sunday, March 20 at 4:30 (pizza served at 5:30) at Farmville Baptist Church Fellowship Hall

Families will rotate through four stations during an hour, during which time they will…

• prepare an entrée for our own church members who have had an illness
• make warm hats for people in our community (distributed during the winter at FACES)
• create greeting cards for Centra Hospice
• fill shoeboxes with school supplies for children in Liberia (distributed by the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship)

There is no charge, but donations for pizza and the postage for the school-supply kits are gladly accepted. If you’d like to bring school supplies for the shoeboxes or if you have other questions, please email or call Beth Cheuk (b_cheuk [at] yahoo.com or 391-3616).

RSVPs (to Beth Cheuk) are wonderful but not required.

On February 6, our youth and children collected our “Souper Bowl of Caring” donations that will help FACES, our local food pantry. Afterwards, our youth and children and their parents hosted a soup lunch to help raise funds for camp.  For more pictures . . .

In bible time, we got to see Joseph’s life change as he went from being a prisoner on day one to being an assistant to the Pharaoh.  Joseph taught us important lessons, such as God gives us hope, and God gives us forgiveness.

We would like to thank Cindy Cave and Sara Thompson for working together to create a fun week for everyone involved!

We encourage you to attend and ask that you donate an amount to this cause that you would normally spend for a restaurant lunch.

Please contact the church office (392-5041) if you plan on coming to this fundraiser.

We were honored that many family members were at the service, including siblings Abigail and Carter; grandparents Jack and Edith Ann Austin, and Jerry and Carolyn Swanberg; aunts Katherine Austin and Heather Swanberg; and uncle Chris Swanberg.

We give thanks to God for bringing Mason safely into the world, and we pray God’s blessings on Bobby and Ann as they raise Mason, Carter and Abigail!
