Week of May 3

This has been a really great week. The men launched a new Bible Study on Monday & we had 17 guys show up for Tony Dungy's Study entitled "Quiet Stength". 8 men at the morning & another 9in the evening. All men are invited to join the groups at either 6:30 am or 6:30 pm.

Also this is teacher appreciation week here in OFallon & we were able to provide Bandana's lunch for the 2 elementary schools near us. We fed roughly 150 teachers and staff. This has been a great way to say THANK YOU for their influnence on the lives they touch.

Also on Saturday May 9th the women's ministry team sponsored a luncheon with about 50 women attending. Shari Wilson shared a message on the importance of building meaningful friendships. Many of the SBCC women invited friends and family and they had a great time together.

Finally we're looking forward to this Sunday May 10, Mother's Day. We will honor all the moms attending. Being a mom is one of the most rewarding & challenging endeavors a woman can take on upon themself. This Sunday we will also recognize 6 sets of parents willing to dedicate themselves and their children to the Lord. Here at SBCC we encourage parents to make public their desire to raise their sons & daughters to honor God and follow after Jesus Christ. Hannah did this after the Lord provided her with Samuel (see I Samuel 1&2). This is no way "saves" a child, but is the opportunity for a mom/dad to publically thank God for the gift he has given and for us as a church to pray for these families as they seek to follow Jesus.

Thanks for looking in-
