TWIB(B) Notes and Pictures

As a kid my brothers and I would race into the house after church and turn on "This Week in Baseball." In the show they would recap, obviously, the week of baseball news through highlights, interviews, and analysis. I have not interviewed anyone, but we do have some pictures and news to report, so here is 'This Week in Buff Bay...'

We told you of the high school team that joined us this past week. The team did a nice job hosting a soccer tournament and series of nightly meetings with volleyball and other fun games, a movie night, and brief gospel messages. The meetings were geared toward the youth of Buff Bay. Here is a link to check out more pictures of the events.

One of the other exciting and thoughtful plans of the team was to throw a baby shower for Kirsten. Some of the kids on the trip were former students and a good number of girls had played on Kir's middle school basketball team. They were incredibly kind and cute in the way they treated Kirsten and the baby. More pictures here.

On Good Friday, which was a little more than a week ago, we celebrated as a church the baptism of eight people. They have completed the instructions class and are hungry and growing in the faith. Many of this group were greatly encouraged and strengthened by the discipleship groups that were formed in February. Since they have started, this group of eight has only missed a handful of discipleship classes and remains hungry for the Word. Here are some of the highlights of the baptism service.
Youth fellowship is continuing to move forward. We just hosted a planning meeting the other night and are glad that all the leaders are on the same page. This week one of the leaders, Damion, is going to be teaching the lesson on what it means to be committed to God's Word. Please pray for Damion as he prepares and delivers the lesson. As an added bonus, here is a link to pictures of one of our events a couple weeks ago - a Penny Concert. For those unfamiliar with this idea, here is the gist: you pay to get people up and sing or pay to get them to shut up...its quite fun.

The last word and picture is this...we have pineapples and no one took them!
