abuse” (see resolution #2), and on the “integrity of ministry leaders” (see resolution #3). Given the recent events within the convention, the questions, discussions, reports and adopted resolutions were needed and timely. I hope you will sense in these a desire to affirm the value of women, to demonstrate a commitment to help the abused, and an expectation that our ministry leaders will not only be above reproach in every interaction with people, but will also be known as champions for those who are in need.

For a full update on what has occurred during the week, please go to www.sbc.net and www.bpnews.net. The resolutions mentioned above can be found within. I look forward to being back with you all on Sunday!

This has been a busy week in the life of our church and

convention. Spring Hill Singers left on Wednesday morning to embark on a tour committed to spreading God’s love through song, small group Bible studies, and relationships. They will be gone from June 13 – 23. Please join me in praying for their safety, for many opportunities

to express God’s love, and for the wisdom to know what to say in each encounter they have. The Spring Hill Singers’ Homecoming Concert will be on Sunday, June 24th in one combined service held at 11:00 in our sanctuary.

Because of the homecoming concert on the 24th, please note the altered Sunday morning schedule for that day only. We will have Sunday School at 9:45 and then we will have one combined service in the sanctuary at 11:00. Please make plans now to be there for this inspiring time of worship and celebration!

I hope you have been keeping up to date on what has proved to be a busy week in the life of the Southern Baptist Convention. While I will not try to update you completely on the several days of meetings within this brief article, I will let you know that this particular gathering of Southern Baptists focused extensively on the “dignity and worth of women” (see adopted resolution #1), “on

All of our special min-istries require the financial support of our church family.
