END OF THE YEAR PICNIC

Our year of Centerpoint ended on a high note with our Pullen Park picnic this past Wednesday night. The weather was perfect (especially in the shade!), Troy’s burgers and dogs and ribs were spectacular, and the Social Committee planned a fabulous Scavenger Hunt throughout the park for any willing participants!

Multiple teams signed up and had a ball, but the FOSTER FOUR took home the trophy and bragging rights! Many thanks to Troy for our wonderful meal and to the Social Committee for a really fun and energizing evening.
JULY CHOIR PLANS

Like to sing? Like to have fun with a group? Like to try something different occasionally? Try singing with the choir for a day.

This summer, the Sanctuary Choir is moving practices to Sunday morning and invites you to join them!

On each of the final four Sunday mornings of July (July 10, 17, 24, & 31), our choir will gather at 9:05am for a 40-minute rehearsal of the music for that day only. Each week will be a different "one-and-done opportunity," as we prepare fresh music for presentation in that morning's worship. We'll pause for breakfast foods and Sunday School or more fellowship. After Sunday School, we'll reconvene to warm up and put on the finishing touches. Whether you've been in choir before or would like to join us for the first time, this is the chance for you! For further questions, email Warren.

MAY MISSION PROJECT

During the month of May, we will be collecting personal wet wipes and baby wipes to be used by our Clothing Ministry clients. The Clothing Ministry gets many requests for wet wipes from their homeless clients to use when they can't access showers. You may place your donations in the marked drawer in the Lewis Lobby cabinet.

UKRAINE RELIEF FUND

CBF has established a relief fund in response to the global crisis in Ukraine, following the Russian invasion last week. Twenty years ago, CBF commissioned Gennady and Mina Podgaisky to serve in Kyiv. They established Village of Hope a year later, and their ministry has flourished in collaboration not only with our partner congregations but Baptists and other Christians in Ukraine. The first funding commitment with any contributions received with this relief fund will be to provide resources to those served by Village of Hope. There are also local partners of that ministry that serve under the leadership of the Podgaiskys and CBF Global Missions. Beyond that, funding will be directed to The Baptist World Alliance Forum for Aid Development (BFAD), the international disaster response work of our partners at the Baptist World Alliance. They are working actively with Baptist leaders in Ukraine and others in that country to identify the most essential use of funds. Because the situation on the ground is changing rapidly, and the crisis is mounting, it is imperative that we give generously and support the work of trusted friends and partners, not only among CBF field personnel but in the Global Baptist community. Give here!
