GREETINGS, EVERYONE! We want to extend Christian sympathy to a family in our community, John and Renee Baker, whose youngest son, Daniel, passed away last week. Graveside services will be held at Bethel Cemetery this morning at 10 am. A memorial service is planned for next Saturday, April 30, at 5 pm at Hopewell Baptist Church. Our men know John and his older sons through the MACH 4 men's ministry, and the family have Baker Auto Repair in Maysville.

THE LORD'S DAY (4/24): 

• Bible Study for All Ages, 9:30 am. There is no better time than the present to join a Sunday morning Bible study. Age-graded classes from nursery through high school plus four non-age graded classes for adults are available. 
• Worship Together at 10:40 in the Sanctuary. Sermon subject will be "Lord, Teach Us to Pray" from Luke 11:1-13, a continuation of the sermon on prayer begun on April 3.
• Scriptures for Sunday. As we move into the season of the church calendar traditionally known as "Eastertide," 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.

HOUSE FIRE BENEVOLENCE
Thank you all who gave to help the family in our community whose house burned last week. Lorie Scott is organizing a clothing and monetary drive for the family. You may also ask her about what may be most needed at this time. Bring items to the church and place them on a table in the foyer. Other household items may be needed in the future. Monetary gifts can be brought to the church office as well. A Go Fund Me account has been set up for them, and you can access that on the Maysville Market and Maysville Discussion page on Facebook, hosted by Josie Kilgore.

READ THROUGH THE BIBLE The Five-Day Bible Reading Plan is attached to this e-mail for your convenience.
You may want to access additional resources to support your reading available at this website.
​BONUS: My apologies to any of you who tried to link to the MBC Historical Commission webpage last week. I was missing a letter in the address. Here is the actual webpage link baptistparchments.org   
Regarding GRADUATE BREAKFAST AND RECOGNITION on May 1, please let us know if you have a graduate to invite to the breakfast or recognize that is not a senior at Maysville High School by Wednesday, April 27. 

If you would like to help with the breakfast that morning (preparation, serving, or cleanup), please see Marsha Smith or Judy Hardin, our special hostess committee, as they are putting the team together this week.

And remember: Everyone is invited to join us for breakfast that morning, so come on out and support our graduates.

See you in church!


Grace and peace,


Pastor Greg
