Discover the Love of Christ

Frostproof, Florida May 2020

Dear Church Family,

I really miss not being able to attend church because I miss the fellowship
with brothers and sisters in Christ. I pray that this virus will soon be a thing
of the past. Even though we cannot assemble together, we still remain the
church, the body of Christ.
I believe that God will use this pandemic to remind all of us of some things
that we sometimes take for granted:
1. I think we are reminded of just how important people are. You have heard
me say we are not meant to be “Lone Ranger” Christians. We are trying to
connect with others now and may that continue.
2. We are reminded how important it is that we stay connected to God. In
our times of isolation, we have time to rekindle our Bible study and prayer
life.
3. We are reminded that we are not in control, but God is. We call that the
sovereignty of God. God has not caused this virus but has allowed it to Happy
happen for reasons known only to Him. We live in a broken world because Mother’s
of sin and we see its effects daily. Day
4. We have been reminded that life is uncertain and it is brief. We don’t Inside this issue:
know what tomorrow will bring.
5. We know that our hope is in a resurrected and living God. He holds the 1
keys to “death and hades” and He is alive forevermore! What a Savior! Pastor’s Remarks

We celebrate Mother’s Day on May 10. Thank God for mothers and the role Florida Baptist Children’s 2
they play in helping us become contributing adults in society. We are Homes, One More Child +1
grateful for their sacrifice, time given and hard work in doing all they are
able to accomplish, especially in these trying days that we are experiencing. May Calendar 3
Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers. May Birthdays

One More Child For us, it’s been about helping one more child since 1904
Whether it’s providing diapers for a newborn, food for a hungry child, safety for an abused child, or foster
or adoptive homes to children in crisis, our mission is to meet the immediate needs of hurting children
and struggling families while building relationships that demonstrate the love of Christ. In 2018, we
impacted more than 249,000 children and individuals through our expert programs and creative services
to offer help, healing and hope. Our burden is to help one more child who we have not yet. We would
love to show you how you can do what you love the most to help children and families who need it the
