Start planning your pine car!  There will be three divisions this year: kids, youth, and adults.  Cars are availble for purchase for $3, which includes your entry fee into the competition.  Detailed rules and instructions will be included in the kit with your car.  Trophies in each division will be for speed and design, as well as the annual People's Choice Award.

Want to play ball together?  We are forming a coed softball team this summer.  We're looking to be recreational, not competitive.  If you are interest in participating, contact Pastor Emily now!

There were many things about Music Sunday, a worship where the music was the message on February 28th, that made it special.  Two of them were the LightHearted Kids and Heirborn Youth.

It brings great vibrance to worship when the LightHearted Kids share their exhuberant joy with the congregation.  On January 31st, they brought a special message of praise when they added ribbon choreography to their song.  The lyrics said, "Let your light shine before men that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in Heaven."  That is just what they did!

We're making summer plans around Westover, so mark your calendar now to be a part of "Hero Headquarters: where kids join forces with God!"  From June 21-25th, VBS will start at 9:30 AM each morning to learn about some of the Bible's most unlikely heroes.

Response To Arrests Of Baptist Group Members In Haiti

In the news, reporters are referring to the group of ten missionaries arrested over the weekend as "American Baptist" or from an "American Baptist church" because they are from the United States, but the expression might create confusion among our constituents. Please know that this group is not affiliated with American Baptist Churches USA.

Please see the letter from the President of the Board of International Ministries, Ruth Clark, below:

 A little girl sitting on the front steps of her home was singing the song, “Jesus Love Me, This I Know.”  A neighbor who had no time for God heard the song and it reminded him of days long gone by when he was a small boy in Sunday School.

“How do you know Jesus loves you,” he called to the child.  “Have you seen him?” 

“No, Mr. King, I haven’t seen him but I talk to him every night.”  The child went right on singing about Jesus.
