Hello all! Spring time is here! According to the calendar, the first day of spring was March 20th. We have been having some beautiful weather and some spring showers. Surely you’ve heard the saying “April showers bring May flowers”.
By the way the azaleas have been pretty in different colors in our community. When the weather is pretty, one wants to get out in the yard and garden. I have been out mowing. Mowing the yard is going to be expensive with the gas prices. The last gas I bought was $3.59, and it is more at some stations. I’ve heard that it will go up. I may have to get some goats to mow my yard. Ha! Ha!
The Senior Adult Revival will be Monday through Wednesday, April 13th-14th-15th. Monday service will be held at Enon Baptist Church, Tuesday at Clifton Baptist Church and Wednesday at Hillcrest Baptist Church. Fellowship will be at 9 a.m, choir practice at 9:30 a.m, and service at 10 a.m. Lunch will follow the service each day. Everyone is invited to attend.
Happy Heavenly Birthday to my brother Troy Ingram. His birthday was Sunday, March 29th. We surely do miss his smiling face and great sense of humor. We always get together with family and friends to celebrate his birthday. Sometimes I have the gatherings at my house or at a local restaurant.

Student art is on display at the D.A. Varnado Store Museum this month. They all did great. Don’t forget to go by to see the exhibit. Be sure to vote for your favorite one.
Continue to pray for all the needs in our community. The Lord can and will take care of it all.
I’ll visit with you next week. Stay tuned - same time - same station. Keep smiling.
Prayerfully, Nell
