Easter Egg Hunt
Saturday, March 26 2:00 pm
First Baptist Church
Port O’Connor
Seven of our people attended this year’s Spring Retreat at Camp Zephyr last week. What a fantastic four days everyone had! The preaching – Rev. Jimmy Talley, brother-in-law of our Pastor, preached the “Ole Time Gospel” sermons, the “shoutin’” kind. The theme of all his sermons was “Don’t Quit”. Bro. Donnie Martin sang the beautiful song “We Are Standing On Holy Ground”, which brought everyone to their feet. Shirley Martin played beautiful music on the piano. All of the Gospel music was outstanding under the direction of Marcos and Sue Gohlke. Bro. George Yarbrough presented several interesting devotions and he held your attention.
The Bible Study was ‘out of this world” as Dr. Jimmy Arnold taught the life of “Samuel, Servant of God”. You could read the Book of Samuel several times, but never get the understanding that Bro. Arnold gave! Everyone enjoyed the food and the fellowship. All of us declared, “This was the best Camp ever!”
The Children’s Annual Easter Egg Hunt will be at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 26. Children and parents will gather in Fellowship Hall at 2:00 p.m. and then the children will be separated by age to go to their special egg hunting areas. After the Big Hunt, there will be refreshments and awards. Candice Stryker is in charge of the Easter Egg Hunt.
On Sunday morning, March 20, the Church will observe the “Lord’s Supper” in the 11:00 a.m. service. Everyone is invited to attend. That evening we will have our quarterly “Birthday Bash”. We will celebrate with those who have birthdays in January, February and March. During the Bash, everyone will enjoy finger foods and desserts. Everyone is invited to come to Fellowship Hall at 6:00 p.m. March 20.
The “Singing Men of South Texas” will be singing at Alamo Heights Baptist Church in Port Lavaca at 7:00 p.m. April 21. You don’t want to miss this beautiful music!
And don’t forget Sunday, March 27, 7:00 a.m., our yearly community Sunrise Service on King Fisher Beach! Bring a folding chair or ride down on your golf cart. (There will be some chairs set up, but maybe not enough for the crowd.) This is always a memorable event as we celebrate our Risen Savior at sunrise. Get an early start celebrating a joyous Easter!
See you in church Sunday!
