PRAYER CHAIN ~ We currently have two prayer chains, one by phone
and one by email. The prayer chains are activated by the church office or
Germaine Hansen whenever there is a prayer need for our church family and
we also try to send out follow-up updates on the prayer requests when we
receive them. Would you like to be notified when there is a prayer need?
On the Friendship Register write ‘Prayer Chain’ and print your email
address or if you would like to be contacted by phone a current phone
number or contact the office at
office@nsbaptist.org
SMALL GROUP ~ There will be one Small Group meeting in
May on Sunday the 18th at 6:00 p.m. If you have not joined a
Small Group yet you are encouraged to take this opportunity to come and
check it out. Sign up at the Welcome Center or check with the office where
the different groups meet.
IN MEMORY ~ The clock on the back wall of the Welcome
Center is given in memory of Glen Davis by Marsha and Tom Dufford.
ALL CHURCH CLEANING DAY ~ The Trustees have scheduled
Saturday, May 17th as the day to get the Spring cleaning done
here at church. The day will begin at 9:00 a.m. on both inside and outside
projects. A list of projects is on the bulletin board in the foyer. Come
when you can and bring your tools and cleaning supplies that are needed to
get the job done. If you are aware of other projects please list them on
the sheet or contact a Trustee so they can be taken care of. If a project
is done ahead of time please be sure to cross it off the list and thank
you for your help in keeping our building and grounds looking nice and in
good working order!
POSTCARDS FOR THE MONTH OF MAY – Jeff & Jessica
Clochesy along with 5 month old Liam will be the recipients of your words
of encouragement for the month of May. The Clochesy’s serve on the Mission
field with The Navigators and are currently serving at the University of
Illinois. Stop by the Missions table in the foyer today and pick up a
postcard. When you are finished with your note drop off the postcard in
the box on the Missions table. At the end of May these small gestures of
thanks and encouragement will be mailed to them by the Missions Committee.
Thank you for your participation!
WEDNESDAY – BIBLE STUDY AND PRAYER - You are invited
to join in on Wednesday evenings as we discuss the ‘Gospel of John’ from
6:30 – 7:30 pm. We follow up the study time with a half hour of prayer
from 7:30 – 8 pm. Come join us for the study or the prayer or both!
HOSPITALITY TEAMS… What is a Hospitality Team?
It is a group (we currently have 4) of women who come together when
their team is called upon to plan, prepare, serve and clean up when we
have a potluck or other scheduled food event at church. The teams are
called upon on a rotation basis. Last year each team was used about two
times. A team member may also be asked to donate supplies, food or
contribute a few dollars to defray expenses, it is whatever works out best
for your situation. We also have a few good men who help with tables and
chairs and yes even wash dishes! There is always laughter in the kitchen
as we serve the Lord and our church family. Sounds interesting? Ask some
questions and maybe even try it once. Contact the office for more
information.
A special ‘thank you’ to the team leaders and members
that have served this past year and are willing to serve another year. We
do appreciate you!
