1st Baptist Church of Chandler
by Joanne Davis

Well, the Sunday evening crowds for our new Sunday evening study groups continues to grow! What a great turnout we had. God is truly blessing us with the many individuals who have stepped up to lead these classes. Our Crown Financial class is full, but there is still room in the CLASS 101; Marriage-From Surviving to Thriving; and Living a LIfe of Prayer as well as our traditional evening worship service. All of the classes are interesting and we can all learn something from each of the classes. Come - join us at 6:00pm for one of these sessions.Our pre-teen boys' classes are going strong. It is always good to see these young men signing up to be involved in learning God's Word. Never put down the youth of this country; many of them are growing up to be strong, God fearing Christians, so I believe our country will be safe in their hands in the future. As this group grows, we may need to find new space for them to meet for their activities.

God is doing His part to help our church grow. Are you? We are revamping our G.R.O.W. Outreach Program, and truly want your help to make our new endeavors a success. We will be receiving leads of all new families that move into our area. Our job is to reach them with the message of Christ and invite them to become part of our Christian family. Won't you come be a part of this outreach? We meet on Tuesday evenings on the first, third, fourth and fifth Tuesdays of each month at 6:30 p.m. On the second Tuesday of each month, we meet at 1:30 p.m. for those of you who would prefer to visit newcomers during the day.

Next month, our men will have their Saturday morning breakfast on our church cleanup day. Say, guys, what's the chance we could get you to cook breakfast for all the ladies as well, who show up to work? We can probably get twice as many people show up if you men do the cooking.

Ladies, we are looking forward to each of you coming on Saturday, March the 3rd for our annual Spring Clean-up Day. We also are looking for storage containers of various sizes so that we can neatly organize our "stuff" as we put it away.

Do you have a church home? If not, we welcome you to join us any Sunday morning at 9:45 a.m. for Sunday School and at 11:00 a.m. for our morning worship. Please come join us anytime. Our Sunday evening services are held at 6:00 and our Wednesday evening services begin at 6:30. We would love to have you join us.
