CONGREGATIONAL MEETING SUNDAY MAY 22 The Elders have called for a special business meeting of SBC members on May 22 at 12:15 pm, just after second service. In accordance with our Constitution, we are seeking a membership vote of approval to increase our 2011 budget by $5,265. This will allow us to fund salary for the Youth/Worship Intern position for July through Decem- ber. Our present budget funds this position for only the first half of the year (at $5,265). If approved, this intern position will continue to be filled by John Mangiameli. GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTANNOUNCEMENTSS . From the Christian Education Director I had my first meeting as the CE Director with our Sunday School staff for our children 2 years thru 6th grade. What a wonderful group of teachers and helpers they are! They range in age from 15—65+. Some have taught S.S. for over 40 years! All love the Lord and love the children. They present God’s Word with a gospel message weekly, all the while making this a fun and loving place to be each Sunday morning. From the bottom of my heart I thank each and every teacher and helper. I hope each of you will take the time to thank them for their love for our children. Dave Thomas P.S.

HEART ––– TO ––– HEART “…teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good.

NEWS REGARDING PASTOR DAVE’S SABBATICAL TO OUR SBC FAMILY Donna and I will be on sabbatical for the months of May through July: this is the first time I have had one and we are very grateful. We will be pulling our trailer as we visit family in Oregon, California and Missouri. This will be a time of physical and spiritual renewal for us as we visit different churches, read, and study. I hope to return with fresh energy and vision to apply to this wonderful Church. We love you all very much. I have been working with Pastor Shane, the Elders and staff to ensure a smooth transition and I am con- fident that they are well prepared. I am also confident that all ministries and committees will continue their efforts for our Lord. As always, the office is a good place to start if you have questions. Pastor Shane and the Elders will, of course, also be available. The Elders have set up a rotating schedule to be available for visitation or other needs. You will be in our prayers, and we likewise will appreciate your prayers for us. May God bless you.

We have seen God's blessings and mercy because of the wonder- ful way you have ministered to us; both in prayer and financial support. We are blessed to have a "Family of God" like you. We are still in need of much prayer as Maria has 2 more chemo infusions to go. Praise God! Praise God also for faithful servants!
