We had a wonderful week in Vacation Bible School this week.  We topped out our enrollment around 273 with 12 (plus) decisions for salvation.  The joy of seeing lives changed makes a great milestone:

**** Children making decisions

**** A host of volunteers (missionaries) serving from a passionate heart

**** A great Family Night with a lot of connections to new families (without a church home)

Looking forward to VBS follow-up - which has already begun this week!!!

We welcome our new Children’s Minister, Russ Price and family.  He will begin his duties as Children’s Minister on May 31.  Drop him a note of welcome at rprice@canaanbaptist.net

We are so fortunate to welcome our newest staff member, Russ Price.  He and his wife, Angela, come to us from Louisville, KY, where he graduated Boyce College.  They both are natives from Prattville, Alabama, where her dad serves as a pastor. 

Russ will be our full-time Children’s Minister.  Please welcome him on board.
