Grand Avenue Baptist Church
Grand Avenue Baptist Church will be having a covered dish meal after
the Morning worship service Sunday, May 20.
Join us and see just how really good the cooks at Grand Avenue are.
VBS
Our Vacation Bible School will be the second week in June from 6:15
p.m. to 8 p.m. each night.
Honoring our mothers
We will be honoring our mothers this Sunday because mothers and family
are very important in our Christian lives.
Observance of the Lord’s Supper
On the last Sunday of this month we will observe the Lord’s Supper.
Our location
Grand Ave. is located in the 600 block of North Grand Avenue with
off-street paved parking and entrance doors on the east side on
Clements Street.
Sunday review
Marcia Porter opened the Morning Worship with prayer. Choice Stephens
and Rick Collett took up the offering. Since it was Penny Sunday at
Grand Avenue Harley Harendt and Kylie Innis pulled the little red
wagon around to collect the pennies. Suzanne Carpenter played “In The
Garden” on the grand piano.
Our special music was Suzanne Carpenter singing “More of You” and
accompanying herself on the piano.
Bro. Bill Black’s sermon was from Acts 22:21-22. How can we know if
we are successful in our Christian walk? The answer to that is
obedience. God told Paul to “Go, I will send you far away to the
Gentiles.” When the Jews in Jerusalem heard this they said “Rid the
earth of him. He is not fit to live.” Paul thought his sermons were
not a success, but he was faithful to do God’s will. We should be
prepared to give an answer for the joy within us.
Choice Stephens gave the benediction.

St. Peter’s Catholic Church
The Handbell choir of First Baptist Church in Sanger will present a
concert of music at St. Peter’s Catholic Church, Lindsay, on Sunday,
May 20 at 5:30 p.m. The handbell choir has performed throughout the
state as well as in Spoleto, Italy. The public is cordially invited to
attend, and there is no charge for admission.
Handbells are small, hand-held bells played by groups of individuals,
cooperating musically much like a vocal choir. The art form came to
the US at the beginning of the twentieth century from England, where
they were derived from playuing the more famous and larger bells often
found in church towers. St. Peter’s Church welcomes you to hear this
beautiful music in the inspiring space of its majestic 1918 church.
Vilott Baptist Church
We run to our mothers with every kind of problem, knowing they will
understand and fix it. Volumes can be written about the relationship
of mother and child. We set aside one day in the year to repay all
that care honoring Mother's Day. We will buy flowers and maybe take
them to lunch or purchase a card.
We have a much better way to honor your mother. Vilott Baptist Church
invites you to attend church on Sunday morning. Come join in the
fellowship breakfast at 9:30 a.m. followed by Sunday School at 10 a.m.
The worship service at 11 a.m. starts with a chance for you to stand
beside mom and sing the old hymns. God has a special message to be
delivered by our pastor, Rick Isham.
We know there are people whose mothers are no longer with us. This a
great way to honor her — attend church. Mothers, this is also a good
time to get your children to attend. Ask them to join you, and you are
setting the example.
Activities and meeting times
Vilott Baptist Church has so much to offer throughout the year. We
have something for everyone all the time. Wednesday nights we have
small groups and Bible studies for the adults and TeamKid for the
children. This starts with a meal at 6 p.m. We prepare a meal for
everyone who wants to attend. This gives families a chance to gather
in church.
There is a small group meeting on Thursday mornings at 10 a.m. with
Bible studies also followed by a meal.

18Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on
earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and
of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have
commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the
age.” Matthew 28:18-20 (NIV)
Whaley United Methodist Church
We never like to be told what to do, but we know that part of the
Christian life is following God’s commandments. In John 15, Jesus
gives the church a new commandment: that we love one another. Does
this command make things easier or harder for us to obey God? Can
anyone command us to love? What keeps us from showing love? Join us
for worship this Sunday with the sermon, “Love: Do We Have To?”
Our service schedule
We worship in traditional style at 9 a.m. and contemporary style at 11
a.m. Both services feature excellent music, and the 11 a.m. service
includes "Kid Time."
