A Note From OUR Pastor
Bruce G. Chesser
I continue to marvel at the involvement of our people in mission opportunities around the world. This week, we had a team in the Philippines assisting Danny Johnson, a missionary from Arkansas, in his work on the islands. We also had a medical team in the Dominican Republic this week, running a clinic and performing three days of surgeries. I am so thankful for a church that sees opportunities around the world and seeks to be the hands and feet of Jesus!
We are only a few weeks away from the end of the school year, which means that Student Camp and VBS are just around the corner. Please be in prayer for both of those weeks.
This morning, we continue in our journey through Matthew. Today, we will look at Matthew 2:1-12: the miracle of the Wise Men.

Sunday Connect
From Senior Associate Pastor, Bruce RaleY
As the school year quickly comes to a close, our focus turns to several special recognitions and activities.
Senior Recognition Day is Sunday, May 3. Students and parents will choose which of the four worship services they want to attend and be recognized in. We have over 90 students who have signed up thus far. Call the student ministry office if you have not yet been contacted.
Student Camp (6-12th grades) will be the last week of May. Students will travel by bus to Eagle Sky of the Ozarks Camp at Piedmont, MO. Our church subsidizes the cost of camp so that every student can attend. The student ministry office will be happy to answer questions or help with registration. The final day for registration is May 6.
Finally, VBS is the first week of June. Registration is now open. You can sign up your kids or sign up to serve at FBCHville.com/vbs.
It is a joy to serve you.
