An Evening of Dinner and Music

Make plans to join us on Thursday, April 14 at 6:00 p.m. for an evening of Dinner and Music. We

will begin the evening in the Fireside Room with a meal provided by the church. Then, you will want

to sit back, relax, and enjoy a program of special music. There will be something for everyone,

ranging from sacred vocal classics to instrumental Broadway selections and contemporary favorites.

Featured on the program will be Ashley Price Naquin, Shawn Naquin, Brenda Etheridge, and John

Holland. One composition will be an arrangement that will be premiered for the very first time right

here at F.B.C. Winnfield! You will not want to miss this Spring Spectacular event. Bring a friend

with you and be sure to sign up in the church office for this event.

Greetings First Winnfield Family,

I want to thank you all for your support and attendance at

the Bible Conference this year. I’ve had so many within

and outside of our church that were blessed through the

course of that week. As we head into Easter this Sunday, I

want to remind you to be in prayer for those that will be

with us that day. Easter is a time of heightened spiritual

interest and I hope that you will take full advantage of that

as you invite friends, family, and coworkers to attend with

you this Sunday and in the Sundays to come.

Over the past few weeks many of you submitted names of

individuals you wanted our church to be in prayer for. I

have been reviewing these cards each day but would like for

you to take a moment and pray for the names below this

article.

Finally, I am excited about our picture directory. Many of

you have signed up for your time already. If you have not

chosen a time, please do so soon.

I love you and am so proud to be your pastor.

Keep Moving Forward,

Steven Smithson
