Peninsula Wide Thanksgiving Service This Sunday
Sunday Evening, November 20, beginning at 6:00 PM, at First Baptist Church of Port Bolivar, there will be the Community Wide Thanksgiving Service. This is such a special time when friends, neighbors, and family can get together at one time in one place to fellowship, make new friends, see old ones, and enjoy the season of the year.
Choir Practice will take place at 5:00 PM at the church. Finger foods will be served following the service and our church will provide paper products, coffee, and punch, plus some of the food. If you'd like to bring something to share, that would be appreciated.
All of the pastors on the peninsula will be present, including the new one who is coming to FBC of CB, so come out and meet this new leader. Pastor Jerry Valentine will be our featured speaker. Pastors, please plan to meet at 5:30 in our pastor's office.
We are so excited about hosting this service and want everyone to plan to attend. When the auditorium is filled, we have made arrangements for overflow seating in our fellowship hall and classrooms if needed. Speakers are installed there so the service can be heard.

Don't dare miss this Sunday morning at FBCofPB
Pastor Appreciation Day and Harvest Days Lunch on Sunday. Let's be in place at 10:00 AM for Sunday School and be prepared to show our love to the man who leads our ministry. I don't understand folks who can come at 11:00 AM, but cannot make that extra effort to be on time for Sunday School. We had a great class last week and new students. I love Sunday School and the fellowship we have!
All are invited to participate in our big day and enjoy a good fish fry with all the trimmings following the morning service. Members, please bring a card or note to share with Brother Dennis as an expression of your personal appreciation. He loves reading notes and we need to support him as he leads our work.

Ladies Hat Luncheon Good Success at First Baptist Church of Port Bolivar
The ladies of First Baptist Church of Port Bolivar were treated to a wonderful Texas style fish fry prepared and served by the men of the church in honor of Mother's Day in the month of May. A good time was had by all who attended.
Each lady was encouraged to decorate and wear a hat of their choice. Jerrie Sue Kerr took home the 1st Place Prize while Feather Shaw's daughter, Debbie Hughes won 2nd Place. All of the hats were certain to draw attention and be the envy of the peninsula.
The men of the church, including Pastor Dennis Allen, will be treated on June 18th in honor of Father's Day Month.

Good news to report...
Good news - Feather Shaw of Port Bolivar has come through surgery well and is now in recovery. All initial tests report no cancer. Drained and removed the large cyst, scar tissue, and her ovary. The family appreciates the prayers and concerns of so many. Debra will report more later in the day.

Lots of fun for the entire family this coming Saturday, April 9, 2:00 PM
Come one, come all — This Saturday afternoon, April 9, beginning at 2:00 PM, at First Baptist Church of Port Bolivar, 523 Nelson, Port Bolivar, Texas 77650, Dennis Allen, Pastor, the church has planned an Easter Treasure Hunt for all ages, including our adult guests. There will be four separate hunts with the first being for children up to age 6, the second for children, ages 7-12, the third for teens with age appropriate prizes and gifts, and the fourth and perhaps most special for our adults, including our seniors.
Following the hunts, and the awarding of the grand prizes, we will enjoy an afternoon meal of sloppy joes, chips, pickles, home baked cookies and tea and lemonade.
We have purposely planned this activity two weeks away from Easter weekend so that those who must travel or spend time with extended families can participate. Bring those children, grandchildren, neighbors and friends to meet some very good people, have a laugh or two, and enjoy the nice prizes and gifts. Who doesn't like finding brightly colored Easter eggs and a prize or two?
Please call (409) 684-7285 for additional information. See you there! Casual dress.

Easter Sunday Morning is one of the most special times on the beach all year. This year, a large group of us will be meeting at the West End of historic Fort Travis for this service in an honest attempt to make an organized, planned, thought out meeting available for those who have trouble getting to the wet sand of the beach. We're starting at 6:00 AM (groan, ugh, oh) to be able to see the actual sunrise from such a great vantage point.
First Baptist Church of Port Bolivar, Dennis Allen, Pastor, has planned special music, with lots of congregational singing, a short message, prayer, and a picnic style light breakfast at the fort following the service. All are welcome.
The Catholic community, along with the Methodists of Port Bolivar are participating. Tell your friends and be here for this historic first event of its kind at Fort Travis - Easter Sunday Morning, April 24.
Thanks to Ted Henley for the beautiful bright blue and white advertising signs all along the busy peninsula.
