- We want to thank everybody who helped with yesterday's Chinese Takeout Fundraiser for our youth to go to summer camp. We sold all 100 boxes and are grateful for all of the help we have received to send our youth to camp.

- This afternoon, we are having our spring members meeting at 1:30 pm. Please be here for this important time for our church to meet together. Packets are available at the Welcome Center, and we ask that each family take one packet. If you would like a digital copy by email and help us save paper, please text Pastor John Divito.

- We are starting a new adult Sunday School class next Sunday, May 4th! Will Baumberger will be teaching a series on our union with Christ. If you would like to follow along by reading a book by Jonathan Landry Cruse on The Christian's True Identity, order a copy before you leave at the Welcome Center for $10.

- Next Sunday, we also have two important events after church. First, we will be having our final youth summer camp fundraiser by having them serve a pork butt meal for donations at lunch. Second, we will be hosting our annual VBS Round Up during this meal as well, seeking volunteers and showing our kids what they have to look forward to at this year's VBS on June 1st-5th. So we want everyone to stay and encourage our youth and children!

- Additionally, next Sunday will be a busy one, because we have our monthly church prayer meeting at 1:30 pm. We'd love to see a high turnout as we join together to pray for the advancement of Christ's kingdom and for the needs of our church family.

- Today's sermon is from 1 Samuel 31:1-13. Our bulletin is available on our web site, mvbaptist.church/bulletin . On our web site, you can submit prayer requests and give. You may worship through giving by placing your offering in the plates between the double doors just after worship.
