- Our April Book of the Month is a short booklet by Earl Blackburn: How Can I Honor Christ in Fighting Cancer? With so many among us struggling with cancer, we know this is a relevant topic for us to consider biblically. We have 20 copies available for $2 each, or you can get two booklets for $3 to share one with others. So please pick one or more of them up at the Welcome Center.

- Vacation Bible School will be here before you know it! With this in mind, our church's annual VBS Roundup will be taking place next Sunday, May 5th, after church. Since we already have most of our volunteers in place, this year we will be showing our church what our children have to look forward to June 2nd to 6th, so we encourage everyone to come. You won't want to miss our official launch in preparing for this year's VBS!

- We will also be having our next monthly church prayer meeting after the VBS Roundup on Sunday May 5th at 1:30 pm. Let's begin praying together for our VBS, the conversion of our children, and other ministry opportunities.

- The Reformed Baptist Network has just released their May Missionary Prayer Guide. Please pick one up at the welcome center for daily prayers from around the world to use in your personal devotions and family worship.

- Our sermon today comes from Mark 15:21-39. 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.
