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.

Coming Events at First Baptist Church of Port Bolivar...

Thank you to all that
helped to make our
Easter Sunrise Service
the very special event
that it was.
We’ve heard nothing but positive
comments about the service.

Next Sunday is
Mother’s Day
May 8, 2011
Let’s all work to bring our own mother
or children if possible, and if not, bring
an “adopted mom or children” to the
special service.
What a blessing this will be!

Dennis Allen, Pastor

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 Sunrise Service, April 24th, 6:30 AM, Fort Travis

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.
