Robert Robinson has been serving as Custodian at First Baptist for over 33 years.

Robert will be retiring effective April 30, 2014. I know you will want to take time during this month to thank Robert for all he has done. Annie Armstrong Ingathering for North American Missions will be gathered on Sunday Morning, April 13. Our goal is $7500 for this offering. Pray now as to what God would have you give and come prepared to give on the 13th. Holy Week Services will begin at noon on Monday, April 14. Please watch your Builder for information on locations for the noon luncheons. Remember, we will host the Thursday luncheon for Holy Week. Come and share a meal and devotional each day. Easter Sunrise Service, 7 AM, April 20. We will gather on the Tarmac at the airport as we have done in years past. Our service will begin at 7AM. There is one change this year. We are asking that if you have chairs you can bring for you and your family to please bring them. We will still have some chairs set up for those who don't have them but we would like to take fewer chairs to the airport. I began my ninth year as your Pastor on April 1. We have seen some highs and lows in those nine years. I am afraid that our attendance and offerings are at a low at this time. Please honor your commitment to God and His church at this time. I look forward to seeing you Sunday. Paul
