Graduate Recognition

On January 14, 2002, Tony Dungy, head coach of the Tampa

Bay Buccaneers was fired following their loss to the

Philadelphia Eagles. Though he thought his coaching career

was over, he was hired as head coach of the Indianapolis

Colts. In 2005, the Dungy family was rocked by the

suicide of their oldest son, James. James left no note – no

explanation, no reasons – just mystery and devastating

loss. On February 4, 2007, Tony Dungy’s Colts defeated the

Chicago Bears to win the Super Bowl. Throughout life there

is both success and suffering. Tony Dungy knows what it is

to be on the mountaintop. And, Tony Dungy knows what it

is to be taken to the wilderness desert of indescribable pain.

Recently, I have been unable to sleep thinking of the pain

and suffering that many of you are experiencing. There are

physical, emotional, spiritual, relational, financial, and many

other causes of pain and suffering that are hurting so many

of you. Jesus knows where you are and what you are going

through; and HE CARES! (1 Peter 5:7)

The wilderness experience for Jesus was one of solitary

desolation in a barren, harsh, and dangerous environment.

(Luke 4:1-13) Jesus was alone. Like Jesus, you may feel like

you are all alone in the wilderness doing battle with your

inner pain and suffering. Despite how you feel, you are not

alone; God’s presence is with you everywhere you go. If you

feel disconnected and can not talk to God, just call on the

Holy Spirit to intercede for you. He will!

When Jesus was dealing with each challenge to his faith and

character, He responded to Satan by quoting scripture. The

message to all of God’s people who are going through times

of pain and suffering is woven throughout Scripture. God

says, “I will never leave you; I will never forsake you.” And

we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will

not be afraid.” (Hebrews 13:5-6)

Hold on child of God, “weeping may endure for a night, but

joy comes in the morning.” (Psalm 30:5)

In His Love,

Andy

From Pastor Andy... Men’s

Ministry

Pray About It

The Adult Choir has adopted a new slogan and developed a new mission:

“Shine your light and let the whole world see. We’re singing for the glory of the risen King.”

That’s why we sing. The question is, where are you going to sing? If you can, we would love to have you sing with us in the Adult Choir. We are blessed to have a very good choir and we’re always looking for new singers to become a part of the group. Last quarter, we had several new singers join and they have all become very faithful, contributing members of the choir. We

need several more and this is a perfect time to join. The choir meets on Wednesdays, 6:30-7:45 p.m., in the Choir Suite on the 2nd floor of building “B”. We provide listening CDs to make it easy for you to learn the songs and practice each song for several weeks before we sing it. It’s really quite simple. All you need is a song in your heart and a desire to praise God through singing!

Recently, we adopted a new 3-part mission for the choir:

Commit – We will begin an on-line Bible study to strengthen our relationship with Christ and to learn how to serve Him better.

Praise – We want to praise Him through singing. This summer we will work on two projects. We will lead the music for an outdoor Independence Day celebration to be held at Taylor Road Baptist Church on Wednesday, July 1. And, we will present a Great Hymns of the Faith concert on August 9. This will be an opportunity for us to share some of the best hymns of all time with our church family and the community.

Serve – We will adopt on-going mission projects so that we can demonstrate Christ’s love for the community and get to know one another better by working side-by-side.

The only way to make a good ministry better is to keep praying, keep pushing, and keep persistently asking people to get behind what we’re doing. Would you prayerfully consider being a faithful member of the choir? I hope to see you this Wednesday at 6:30 p.m.

What a great month at Taylor Road Baptist Church! We had so much fun with the first annual Palm Sunday

Picnic. Even though it rained, we enjoyed a picnic and egg hunt indoors. Mr. David shared the Gospel with

the children before they eagerly started hunting. Everyone left with at least 12 eggs filled with candy. They

loved it!

We also had a great time Resurrection Sunday. For the last several years, the children and preschoolers have

filled a wire-covered cross with beautiful flowers, turning it into a “Living Cross.” This year’s cross was truly

beautiful and serves as a vivid reminder of the life we receive at the cross.

The school year is quickly coming to an end, meaning summer is just

around the corner. You can still register for The Rock, our children’s

summer camp at Laguna Beach Christian Retreat Center near Panama

City, Florida. Camp dates are June 1-5 and the cost is $200. Please call

the Church Office (271-3363) or Ruth Givens at (462-4894) for more

information. We have several spaces still available, but registration will

close soon. Hurry to reserve your spot!
