One of the reasons we like it here is be- cause we just love Brother Terry and his family. You're gonna like it here be-. cause we are a church family that enjoys fellowship, fun and let's not leave out lots of good food! Nothing delights us more than sharing with visitors. Last Sunday night, we held' our annual Mens' Chili Coof- Off. This year our panel of judges were Tommy Varnes, Maxie Chewning, Jerry Jones, Tommy Cooper and last but not least, Senor Chilie Gonzales (Keith Cran- ford, were you paid?). Thanks for' all of you who helped make this event fun and suc- cessful. Freddie Flether was #1 chili maker, followed by Troy Nor- ton. Cookie Liles came in 3rd place. (He-He) All our men did an excellent job. One of our judges said, "I'lla come judge any thin at Rock Sink. There are some mighty fine cooks here".

Van Ministry Bro. Foy Cell 356-2294 (352) 493-9723 Faith Baptist Church News We thank God for a wonderful day at Faith today. Even though it was very cold, we thank Him for the rain He sent our way when we needed it so badly. God is so good!!!!!!! We had wonderful services today. The special music was great as usual. Our male trio made up of Jim Fisher, Kacie Crenshaw and Tommy McQueen sang in the morning ser- vice and the Brittons and Bro. Kacie sang in the evening service. Some of our folks that had been out sick were back today and others who had not been attending regularly were also back. It was so wonderful to have them all. We had visitors in both services and we want them to know how special they are to us. We pray that our folks made you feel welcome and loved and we invite you back anytime. The Easter Brothers will be with us March 29th through April 1st. They will be singing for us each night and hold- ing a revival for us at the same time. If you haven't heard them, come out and enjoy some wonderful Bluegrass Gospel. Also, Bro. James Easter is a fantastic preacher and you will really enjoy his sermons. We are so looking for- ward to this time with them. Remember this week to pray for the sick, the bereaved, and the lost in our community Until we meet again, we at Faith love you and will be pray- ing for you. New Prospect Baptist News We look forward to a new month and new activities with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, in the forefront! March lst--8th is our Week of Prayer for North American Mis- sions. The Florida Evangelism Conference was held on March lst--2nd in Ocala. Our Pastor/Deacons will meet on Monday evening, March 9th, followed by our Church Busi- ness Meeting on Wednesday evening, March lith. This past Sunday, we were blessed once again with visitors, for which we're always most appreciative. Prior to the' morning sermon several groups of children, participants in our Awana program, impressed us with fantastic demon- strations of some of the things they're learning in their re- spective classes. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it, and we really appreciate the teachers and support people who work hard with these future church leaders. We also appreciate the enthusiasts of the children in learning about Christ and what a wonderful Difference He makes in our lives. Af- ter this good'start Bro. Billy, still recuperating well, brought a short but very inspiring message from Luke 5:27-28. As always, we welcome all new or returning visitors to New Prospect...we love having you with us, anytime. We were glad to see Bro. Robert and Sis. Tracey Sunday, and thank God for returning them and their fellow travelers safely home after their mission trip to Honduras. We wish every- one a good week; and remember to PRAY...pray for our mili- tary personnel, our political leaders, and all those on the church prayer lists here at home. May God bless and keep you safe. **(4waw*
