Girls, I am full, full, full - like I've just feasted at God's banquet table. Full of joy, full of thanks, full of awe, full of desire to see even more of God's beauty reflected in His church! God's presence was so powerful and I'm so thankful to Pastor Bil and Jessica and all of our incredible staff for their generosity in giving their support, time and talents to bless our city and our church. Please help me bless them by sending an email or a note their way to thank them! More than a hundred hands were lifted on Thursday night to receive Christ and again on Friday night!! And I am still overwhelmed with your generosity to give A21 Campaign twenty thousand dollars - wow! We had 1750+ in attendance on Thursday night and 1650+ on Friday night. Thank you for bringing your friends to see JESUS - He was truly glorified in our worship, through His Word and through your generosity! We are blessed to be a part of what God is doing at Bay Area Fellowship and in our city. So many of you have sent me emails & notes on Facebook about how God worked in your life! I love reading your stories - please keep sending them this way - we love to see the fruit God is producing in your hearts!

Speaking of serving, I hope all of you got to attend a service this weekend and hear all about EASTER!!! If you did, you heard Pastor Bil talk about the envelopes full of special gifts that we are giving to every person who attends Easter weekend. We will be stuffing 15,000 envelopes from March 29-31 at 9 am each morning and we need lots of help!!! Please contact Connie at rrramirez@grandecom.net and let her know when you can help!! :) Many hands make light work and we'll have lots of fun while we're at it! The church is providing coffee and donuts too! Also, we are having TEN SERVICES for Easter: Thursday, April 1 at 6:30, Friday, April 2 at 5 & 6:30, Saturday, April 3 at 3:30, 5 & 6:30, and Sunday, April 4 at 8:30, 10, 11:30 and 1. Pastor Don needs lots of extra help taking care of our precious children especially during the extra 5 services. Please contact annh@bayareafellowship.org to help love on kiddos so that all of our guests that weekend will feel great about leaving their children in our care! Remember, this is one of two weekends that so many who don't know Jesus will come to our church during year. Pastor Bil is believing that 1,000 people will accept Christ in our Easter services. Please consider giving your time to be a part of this amazing thing that God will do! So much is happening! So exciting - be sure to jump in where you feel led to be a part of God's plan! Nothing like it! Love you so! Daphne Fine Janes Women's Ministry Leader Bay Area Fellowship 361-993-5900 ext 107 www.bafjanes.com seejanelead@yahoo.com |
