3. June 2009 Newsletter page 2 Thoughts from the Ministry Center: I have a very good friend who has always wanted to change history. He has talked for years about doing something that will live on and on. When he is gone, he wants people to remember his great deeds for mankind. So far, he hasn’t done the first thing about his goal. He works and goes home. Everyday ordinary people come to work at the ministry center and they change history. Oh you won’t find their names written down in the history books. You probably will never hear their names on the radio or television. But to someone who is hungry, lonely or weary, these wonderful volunteers make an eternal difference in their lives. They serve Jesus Christ through their work at the ministry center. Their paycheck..a crown in glory to lay at the Savior’s feet. Thanks to all who volunteer their time to help at the ministry center. You are doing Kingdom work that will last an eternity! Brenda Gail Baldwin The Evangelism Conference in April was a great time of worship. The music was very good and the preaching by Fred Luter, Junior Hill and Bill Stafford could not have been better. I have received a lot of positive feedback. I would like to thank Calvary for hosting the conference. We are already working on next year. The Better Bridges weekend also has generated many positive comments about the speakers for that weekend. I would like to thank Winshape for hosting the meal on Saturday night. We have been given the opportunity to offer an Associational trip to Israel in February 2010. This trip will be open to our Pastors and church members. We have had one meeting to discuss the trip. Call the office for more details or come by for a video about the trip.

FOOD DRIVES: Each church in our Association is asked to have a food drive one month per year. Many of our churches have liked the idea of only having to do this project once a year. Other churches still enjoy collecting food every month or putting the Food Pantry in their budget with a check every month. Whichever way your church has participated, we want you to know as an Associational team effort – IT IS WORKING!!! We continue to have food in our pantry for all who come. You are the ones who make this ministry successful.
