The 2020 Implementation Report was approved by the Olive family Sunday evening. Steve Harrod and the team did an outstanding job. An air of excitement filled the room after the Sunday night meeting. Many stayed afterwards to talk and ask other questions. A new direction has been set for the church. We have much work to get done.

The question being asked is, “What happens first?” Raising funds is the initial order. I will briefly outline a plan of action this weekend during the three Easter services. Then in short order several projects will fall into place. Renovation of Passmore Hall and demolition of the white block buildings will come quickly. Then you will see the moving of dirt for the new parking area and the Whitmire Road entrance. The Fund Development Director position will be filled and the Ministry Village will continue to expand.

Today work is continuing with the clearing of property along Whitmire Road. One neighbor told me Monday this cleanup has done more to bring the local community together than anything he can remember. It is amazing what you can see happen when people just talk to one another. Before the old two-story house could be leveled the honey bees inside had to be captured. Two of our men did that Monday. It was a fun afternoon.

Thank you for your response to the new booklet, What Is a Southern Baptist? Many came by to purchase one on Sunday. One of guests, Dr.Scott Dawson, along with his family, came by. (You will remember Scott from the great preaching he did during Harvest Weekend.) We will have the book table out again this Saturday evening for the first of our three Easter services.
