A Note from the Pastor What a blessing it is to come together again today to sing the songs of the faith, fellowship together, encourage one another, meet a new friend, and feed off of the precious and powerful Word of God! I am really excited about what the Lord is doing in our church. The series of sermons from I Peter have challenged me because of the amount of careful preparation that is required. It is as if what we are studying is as current as tomorrow’s headlines in the news. The overarching theme that there is hope through our Lord Jesus Christ should help us to keep a sense of balance in an otherwise very unstable world. Please be praying as we open God’s Word together and receive His truth for our daily living. May you have the abundant grace of God in every situation of your life—“On the Way Home.”
Love in Jesus, Bro. Jimmy

Christian Citizen Task Force sponsors the
Huntsville Stand Up for Religious Freedom Rally
As the United States Supreme Court prepares to issue its ruling on the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), concerned Christian citizens of Northern Alabama will publicly voice their opposition to Department of Health and Human Services’ mandates. The HHS mandates force all employers-including Christian schools and hospitals--to provide free contraceptives, surgical sterilizations and abortion-inducing drugs through their health care plans, regardless of their religious or moral convictions. The Huntsville Stand Up for Religious Freedom Rally, a family-friendly event, has been organized for Christian citizens concerned about infringement of religious freedom by Obamacare’s HHS mandates.
Friday, June 8 from noon until 1:00 pm Whitesburg South Campus Pavilion

WOMEN’S MINISTRY Summer Bible Studies
Choose from two awesome ladies Bible studies this summer:
Jonah - Navigating a Life Interrupted by Priscilla Shirer, led by
Mary Johnson, will meet on Thursday evenings, June 7 - July 26, 6:308:00 pm. What do we do when God interrupts our lives? Many times, like Jonah, we run! In this Bible study, Priscilla shows that interruption is actually God’s invitation to do something beyond our wildest dreams. When Jonah was willing to allow God to interrupt his life, the result was revival in an entire city. Book cost is $12.
Nehemiah – A Heart That Can Break by Kelly Minter,
led by Emily Eckley, will meet on Tuesday mornings, June 19 - July 31, 9:30 - 11:00 am. Nehemiah’s heart was so broken for those in need that he left the comfort of his Persian palace to help them. This study challenges women to let God break their hearts for a hurting, lost world and move them in compassion to lead people to Jesus. Book cost is $13. Free childcare is provided for this class, and registration is required (see below). Register for classes and childcare at WhitesburgBaptist. org/weeklygroups. Both classes meet at the Whitesburg Baptist Center (South Campus) in Room 607.
