This morning I want to tell you about what’s happening tomorrow night at FBC, Kentwood. There will be a supper (Donations only) and an auction of donated items. We had a great meal and lots of fun last year. Most importantly, we raised money to help support our summer trips/camps for our children and youth. The money raised tomorrow night will help our youth and children attend without having to pay so much money out of pocket. The summer trips/camps are so important in the lives of our young people. Please plan to come and support them.

Please add my brother Max (Brent) to the prayerlink. He lives in Ohio and has been diagnosed with Kidney cancer. I’m not sure if it is the same type my brother Joe died with about 2 years ago or not. He is scheduled for surgery May 4th if his cardiiologist gives the ok. He also has problems with his heart.
