JUNE 12
Annual Church Birthday Picnic
Broken Arrow Park, 2800 Louisiana St.
12:00 p.m.
Bring side dishes to share. Childrens playground close by shelter house.
(Main dish, drinks, tableware, birthday cake will be provided)
Fruit Carving Contest!
Egg Toss!
And much more fun!
Our new sanctuary chairs have been ordered! As approved by the SLT,
when we reached 1/2 of our needed funds, wed be able to place an order for 250 chairs. Thanks to your speedy and awesome generosity, we
have done just that! NOW, we need to finish raising the remainder so
we can close out this debt in short order! Each chair is $61.90 and if
you are able to contribute that amount, or more, (perhaps one for each
family member?), it would certainly be appreciated.
The chairs will be tan in color, have a book rack under each, and a place
to put a communion cup.
It will take about 14 weeks to manufacture the
chairs and fulfill our order. We anticipate an
arrival date sometime the end of August or
near Labor Day.
If you have questions, please contact the
church office, or Wendy Wheeler, Facilities
Steward, 393-3688.

Thank you!
Dear First Baptist Church Family,
Thank you for the wonderful reception you gave me
on Sunday, May 22. I was encouraged by your
words of love, joy, and care as I begin a new chapter in
my life. I have enjoyed serving my church family this
year as Adjunct of Childrens Spiritual Formation. I
thank you for that honor and the opportunity. My
new journey of ministry is in Clinical Pastoral Education at St. Lukes hospital in Kansas City. My course
work began May 31 and will end August 10. CPE is a
full-time program designed to train ministers with a
special emphasis in pastoral care. When my summer
studies end, I will begin a year-long residency program
on Sept. 1.
I am also happy to announce that I will continue to
be an active member of First Baptist Church. I am currently commuting to St. Lukes Hospital from Lawrence, so you will continue to see my family and me in
Sunday School and Worship. I look forward to sharing
with you my experiences of CPE! As a member of this
church, I plan to work alongside you in ministry, however, my appointment as an FBC staff member ended
on May 29, so any questions concerning Childrens
Spiritual Formation should be directed to Pastor
Cherylshe will be happy to offer assistance.
Sincerely, Pastor Melissa Lumpkin
Brian Hayes would like to thank all at FBC for their recent
prayers. He has had neck surgery and it will take awhile
to recover. His address: 3972 Pleasantburg, Fayetteville, North Carolina, 28312
