A note from one of our young adults, Makayla Shonamon:

Greetings Friends and Church Family!  As I am continuing my education at Southern Nazarene University, God has given me the opportunity to minister in Swaziland from May 14-June 31 this summer! Myself, along with five other SNU students and two faculty mentors will be serving in a local hospital and AIDS task force there for these two weeks of ministry. I'm looking forward to expanding my understanding of God's world and God's mission in the world. I am still in need of $1,000 to be able to cover all expenses for the trip and I am asking for your support in prayer as well as any financial support you might be willing and able to provide. Thank you for your love and prayers!

If you are able to give towards Makayla's mission trip click here and choose "SIMS Swaziland Team" under the the drop down that says "Designation".
Ladies, join us for a game night and our Secret Sister reveal, Friday, April 21 at 6:30pm in room 112! We encourage all ladies to attend even if you're not currently participating in Secret Sister. Soup and desserts will be provided. Free childcare! Contact Christina Johnson if you need childcare or have questions at 817.637.2964.
Join us for a wedding shower for Cameron Slaughter and Yulissa Hurst. The shower will take place on Sunday, April 23 at 2:30 pm in the Parlor. Cameron and Yulissa are registered at Amazon and Target.
The Young Adults will be hosting a silent dessert auction on Sunday, April 30 to help with expenses for the young adult ministry. The auction will take place during the Sunday School hour and for a short time following the morning service. If you would like to donate a dessert to the auction please email Pastor Clint and let him know how many desserts you plan to donate.
Baby Day is Sunday, May 7!  Help us honor all of our First Church "Little Ones" 2 years of age and younger. We would like your baby included! We are planning a slide show and need your help.  Please send the following to Pastor Jennifer: three scanned or digital photos of your child (closeups are best) by April 23. Include the child's full name, birth date, parent's names and sibling's names.  If you have questions please contact  Pastor Jennifer  or see Debbie Schultz in the nursery.
Join us for a Faith@Home Family Potluck on Sunday, May 7 after the morning service in the Room 112! Anyone with children or teens in their life would benefit from this luncheon. This luncheon is the first of many we will be hosting throughout the year.  Our goal is to encourage, equip and cheer you on as you share your Faith@Home with your children as you raise them.  If you don't know what Faith@Home is all about or how we currently try to help, then this luncheon is for you.  If you already know about Faith@Home and are doing this at home, then this luncheon is for you too!  Our prayer is to build a community of families that want to raise their children to follow Jesus. We want to be your partner as you do this. Please RSVP to Pastor Jennifer if you plan to attend.
