Greetings

     I hope everyone's spring has gotten off to a good start.  Congratulations to Megan Jarmon for making the Choudrant High dance team again.  I know she has worked hard for this accomplishment.  Please remember McClain and Blake Thomas as they continue their tennis season.  Their state tournament is right around the corner.  Congratulations also go out to Matthew Miliam and the Cedar Creek power lifting team as the won 2nd place in state a couple of weeks ago.  Kate Warner and the Ruston High Freshman softball team ended their year with a bang as they took first place in a tournament in Shreveport.

     Preparations are being made for a senior night to recognize our graduating seniors.  Please continue to pray for these guys.

Thanks to everyone for all your love and support

All the t’s have been crossed, all the i’s have been dotted and it is now time for D-NOW ‘08.  Please keep in prayer our young people, Brent Martwick and his worship team, and especially the wonderful people who have volunteered their homes for this weekend.  We thank everyone who has come forward and volunteered or asked us if they could do anything to help.  It is team work like this that helps make planning an activity like this one work.

            Last weekend, our youth traveled as a group to Bossier for “family fun night” at a Mudbugs hockey game.  If you’ve never seen one of these hockey games, it is well worth the $15 to go.  We had 13 to go and we brought back 13 so they must have all acted okay.  Thanks to Mr. Gene for driving the bus.

            Lisa and I need your help with another project.  The youth will be performing a drama called “The Champion” on Sunday evening, March 16.  We are needing some white sheets to cover the choir chairs with so it will look like the sky.  If you can help out please let us know.  If you want your sheets back, please put an identification mark on them somewhere so we can return it to you.

                                                                                                                Thanks again!

Greetings,

What a great couple of weeks it has been to be "young at heart" at Emmanuel Baptist Church.  Super Bowl Sunday's flag football game got turned into a game of who could get the muddiest.  No one got physically hurt and that was a blessing.  We returned to the FLC after the game for a little dodge ball and volleyball, while watching the Super Bowl on TV.  My thanks goes out to all those who came out and played and those who came to the FLC afterwards. 

Saturday Feb. 9 our youth hosted a Senior Adult Valentine Banquet (Hee-Haw theme).  I was proud of the participation of our youth in this program.  I was truly shocked at how well they pulled it together from 1:00 pm Saturday to the 6:30 pm show time performance.  Gifts and talents were surely demonstrated on the stage.  Even though I was told not to pursue a singing career, I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as we did.  Thanks to all those who prepared the delicious food. 

Please continue to keep our youth in your prayers.  We will be traveling to Bossier on Feb. 23 to a "Family Fun Night" at a Mudbug's hockey game, followed by a Christian concert.  Also a reminder that our D-Now weekend will be February 29 - March 2. 

Thanks to everyone for all your support.
