During the spring exam season, the North Collins High School will be using out building for extra testing space from time to time.  Another group meets next week (Wednesday-Friday).  Thank you for your understanding as we try to be good neighbors (and good lights) to our friends across the street.

Thank you to all who gave so generously for Bruce & Shirley Brown’s birthday gift.  $330 has been collected so far.  Don’t forget to sign the card for them in the back.

Check out “Ask the Pastor” on Friday, April 24th at 2:00 pm (TCT Network and Dish Network channel 26, DirecTV does not carry the program).  “Ask the Pastor” is a live call-in program with a panel of five area pastors answering viewer questions about life and the Bible from the Bible.  It’s Derek’s turn to sit on the panel.  Pray for him as he tries to think fast and make the most of this unique opportunity.

The church’s financial statement for March 2015 is posted for review in the office over the copy machine.

Sympathies go out to the Evelyn Holcomb family.  Evie died on April 11th
 and her funeral was held on Tuesday at Wentland’s.
