Dear Friends,

We've been running at an asfully fast pace of late.  We don't remember if we took time to thank you for yoru gift of $300 in April and $100 earlier this month.  The $100 will be matched and doubled.  It will be a special help with our summer expenses.  May God bless your ministires this summer.

Last night at our board meeting I mentioned that we didn't print a newsletter in March and nobody seemed to notice.  I have been printing 12 copies and still throw some away at the end of the month.  Interesting to think that we keep doing what we have been doing just because we have always done it. 

Over the last couple weeks I have been working on making improvements to the church website.  I find it a frustration and a challenge at the same time.  So far I have discovered a way to put online registrations that can be used for any event that is happening at FBC.  We are currently accepting online registrations for Vacation Bible School but we will be setting up an online registration form for Life Groups for the fall. 

Here we are on the brink of moving the offices.  That is right we are moving all 5 offices out of the church building and into the building that used to house the Stockbridge village offices.  We got the key today, the water will be turned on tomorrow, and the DSL and phones will be on Friday.  So what is the view from my window?  Well I can't see that far across the room since I am sitting in a sea of boxes.  Who knew it would take so many boxes just to pack up my office?  I really didn't think I had that much stuff.
