I want to thank those of you who came to hear The Story at First Baptist North Crossett this past Sunday Evening.  It is a powerful program that presents the overarching salvation story in the Bible. This next week we will host the combined choir here at FBC Hamburg, and I want to encourage you to plan on attending and invite your family and friends. We will have a wonderful time this Sunday evening.

 

With even more joy, I am excited to celebrate the most important holiday of our year with you this Resurrection Sunday. We have the joy of celebrating the defeat of sin and death with Christ’s resurrection from the dead. Christ is the only hope for this world, and it is on this Sunday that we celebrate the fact that there is an empty tomb in Israel today. Please invite your friends and family to celebrate Easter with us. As a church family, I want to encourage you to be ready to greet those who do not come to church regularly and let them know we are glad to have them here.

 

Please take time this week to read the latter half of the gospels and remind ourselves what all Jesus went through to redeem us. We can never do enough to express gratitude for the salvation he offers us. Daily we can rest in his grace we and praise him for the greatest gift.


In Christ,

Brother Ty

 


Presented Sunday night at 6:00, April 21 at First Baptist Church of Hamburg. Everyone is welcome to hear this Easter musical presented by five Ashley County Choirs.

 

This week for us is a toss-up. If the weather allows Awanas to go on the Easter egg hunt, we will stay at the ROC and have a worship service geared towards the crucifixion and    resurrection. If the weather doesn't cooperate, then we will take the bus again to Crossett for the final night of the Area Wide Youth Event! If we go, we will leave the ROC at 5:45 and be back by 7:30! 

 

I hope everyone has a great Easter weekend! Enjoy time with family and friends, and most importantly, don't lose sight of the bigger     picture. Christ came, lived among his creation that had turned their backs on him, died for them (for us) and rose again, beating sin and death and offering new life to those who put their faith and trust in who he is and what he has done! Hope to see you Sunday so we can all worship the Risen Savior!

”I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.” Psalm 122:1


Landry Cotton and Karen did an amazing job with the song “Remember Me.” They really harmonize well together. Thank you, Landry and Karen for sharing this song.
If you didn’t go to First North Crossett last Sunday night . . . good news. You have two opportunities remaining to see and hear this powerful musical. We had about 110 singers and pretty much a full house. It was really great and it will only get better.
You can attend another presentation of this music on Sunday night at FBC Hamburg at 6:00 and also at FBC Crossett on April 28 at 6:00.
Our choir will be working on music for worship in the coming week. We hope to be able to work on the worship music as well as special songs.


                                                                    Blessings on you all,
