1st Baptist Church of Chandler
by Joanne Davis

The Sunday evening crowds for our new Sunday evening study groups continue to grow! What a great turnout we have had. I am told that all of the classes are interesting, exciting, and good fellowship comes from them as well. Come -- join us at 6:00 p.m. for one of these sessions.

Our pre-teen boys' classes are going strong. How about your pre-teen boy? Is he signed up for this class as well? The class is similar to RAs, but we are not using the RA material. These young men have signed 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. 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.

This Saturday is CLEAN UP DAY at the church. Our men will have their Saturday morning breakfast then it is on to the work at hand! Let's get the gardens weeded, the grass mowed, windows washed, items packed away, including our Christmas decorations, VBS items, GA items, Sunday School supplies, etc. We are all proud of our church, so let's make the effort to clean up the area so that the whole neighborhood knows as well. By the way, we are still looking for storage containers of various sizes so that we can neatly organize our "stuff" as we put it away.

Spring Break is just around the corner and our Youth will again be doing some outreach mission work in the general area. What about you? What are you doing? Brother Danny will be going to hold a revival in Ada, Ohio, at the Genesis Baptist Church during Spring Break as well. If you like to hear Brother Louie Adams preach, then be sure to be here on the 11th of March.

Our ladies leave the Thursday of Spring Break week to go to the Women of Faith Conference. What a great time they will have in San Antonio! Be in prayer for those who are going and if you aren't one of them this year, what about next year? God may be calling you to become involved as well.

Do you have a church home? If not, we welcome you to join us any Sunday morning at 9:45 for Sunday School and at 11:00 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.
