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

After Bro. Morgan’s most recent doctor’s appointment, they have determined that another surgery will be the best strategy for him to be cancer free. The spots on his liver have grown slightly, so on Tuesday, July 14th, Dr. Heslin will perform a liver resection. Two tumors will be cut away from the right lower lobe of the liver. Bro. Morgan will then spend eight to ten days in the hospital recouperating. The surgery will be done at UAB, downtown Birmingham. Please lift Bro. Morgan and Mrs. Ritta up in your prayers. Continue to pray for them along with their family and the hospital staff in the upcoming weeks. To God be the glory, great things He has done……and WILL do!

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.
