​GREETINGS, EVERYONE! This week, a family in our community experienced a house fire. No one was hurt, but most of the things inside were either lost to the flames or damaged by the water. It took several hours to get it under control. They were able to get their three small children's clothes, a few toys, and a child's headboard out of the house before the fire spread to the downstairs. Lorie Scott is organizing a clothing and monetary drive for the family. The following items are needed: 

• Womens size 2 jeans and small shirts; size 7 shoes
• Mens 32x34 jeans and large shirts; size 12 shoes
• Size 4 diapers
• A few toys for the children

Bring items to the church and place them on a table in the foyer. Monetary gifts can be brought to the church office as well.

Ukraine Relief. Thank you for your gifts to provide humanitarian aid to refugees fleeing Ukraine for Poland, Romania, and other bordering nations. You have given $1150 so far! 

TODAY (4/16): EASTER CHILDREN'S PARTY, immediately following the city Easter egg hunt. All children through 6th grade are welcome to attend with their parents. Egg hunt, candy, and a clear Gospel presentation, beginning at about 10:30 am at the church. A brief video presentation of the Gospel will follow the egg hunt. We need adult workers, so come on out and help us!

THE LORD'S DAY (4/17): RESURRECTION SUNDAY!

• Scriptures for Sunday. Here are the Scriptures we will be reading that will shape our corporate worship. Take a few moments to read and meditate on them. Also, we have seven different Scriptures in our morning worship, so they make a great resource for personal or family worship Sunday through Saturday.

TUESDAY (4/19) I will be in Jeff City attending the Missouri Baptist Historical Commission spring meeting. One of the things the commission does is award scholarships to our three Baptist universities, Missouri Baptist University, Hannibal-LaGrange University, and Southwest Baptist University. Students attending or preparing to attend one of these institutions have the opportunity to write a paper on some aspect of Missouri Baptist history. The commission awards a $2000 scholarship for the winning paper for each school as judged by the commissioners. Last year, 18 papers were submitted representing all three schools. This year, only three were submitted, all from SBU. Pray for the nine commissioners as we seek to make a wise decision on the award.
