Springtime Church Work Day is scheduled for May 31, beginning at 7:30am.

Coffee, donuts, etc. will be served (for the workers). Feel free to stop by anytime to offer your assistance. There is something for everyone (mostly light duty work and, if anyone wants to do some heavy lifting, we can probably find some of that too 🙂 ).

Many hands make light work. Not to mention the fun and fellowship with other members and friends of our church.

See you there!

The Wife of Noble Character

10 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. 11 Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.

A tradition at our church is the annual Roll Call Luncheon, which is held the first Sunday in May.

Highlights include:

• Member Recognition
• Roll Call of Members
• Announcing winners of the “Get to Know Our Website” contest
• And, some surprises…

Bring your favorite Bible verse to read or recite when your name is called, as well as a casserole, salad or side dish to share. Beverages and dessert will be provided by BAFTA.

Please join us for church at 10:30 with lunch immediately following.

You do not need to be a member to attend the luncheon or join in the festivities. Hope to see you there!

In HIS service: Marilyn Rollins, Jan Russell, Kathy Benger and Jane Demers.

We are off to a great start on the “Get to Know Our Website” contest.

While we have some great contenders, no-one has answered all questions with 100% accuracy. So, if you’d like to compete you still have 4 days (contest closes at midnight on Friday).

As a reminder: The purpose of this contest is to promote awareness of our website and provide an opportunity for each of us to learn a few “new” things about our church. And, there are prizes:

• First Place: An Apple TV – Yes, an Apple TV valued at $99 (very cool!)

• Second Place: A Lowe’s or iTunes gift card – $25 (choice of the winner)
• Third Place: A Lowe’s or iTunes gift card – $10 (choice of the winner)

Our new website contains TONS of information “about us” which helps to promote effective communications in our church and to our community. In addition, it provides many resources to assist us all in our Christian Walk!

To that end, we are launching a contest: “Get to Know Our Website.” The purpose: to promote awareness of our website and provide an opportunity for each of us to learn a few “new” things about our church. And, there are prizes:

• First Place: An Apple TV – Yes, an Apple TV valued at $99 (very cool!)

• Second Place: A Lowe’s or iTunes gift card – $25 (choice of the winner)
• Third Place: A Lowe’s or iTunes gift card – $10 (choice of the winner)

Who can “play”?

• Members and friends of our church.
• Contest judges (Mike Ledoux, Pastor Scott Secrest and Craig Bailey) and immediate family members cannot participate 😦

How it works:

• Click here to go to the page with the contest questionnaire containing 12 questions which are “easily” answered on our website (if you “dig”). Contest closes at midnight Friday (May 2).
  • Note: A password is required (same as used to access our newsletter).
• Judges will review responses and determine the 3 winners based on:
  • Accuracy of answers
  • Timeliness of response – If more than 1 person gets the same number of answers correct, the one submitting their response first wins.
• Winners will be announced next Sunday (May 4).
• Prizes must be picked up at church prior to or immediately following worship service.
• Any prizes remaining unclaimed after 2 Sundays will be awarded to the person who comes in 4th place. The judges will “consider” exceptions to this rule (i.e., local shut-ins, illness, travel).
• No purchase necessary. Offer is void where prohibited by law 🙂

So, don’t delay! Click here to complete the contest questionnaire now!

Church World Service is the group we send the various kits to each year. So far BAFTA has completed many school kits. We can complete many more health kits when we receive the following items:

• 15 hand towels
• 14 bars of soap
• toothbrush covers

These can be purchased at the dollar store.

If you donate any of these items BAFTA will be able to complete the kits by the first part of May. They are then taken to Concord, NH on the second Thursday in May and put on the truck headed to Valley Forge, PA.

If you should have any questions please send email to our BAFTA President.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

We had a GREAT Son Rise service, at Robinson Pond, led by Pastor Scott and members of our Praise and Worship Team, followed by breakfast at the Church. Happy Easter!
