Greetings to all our members and friends of Kansas Baptist Church,

 

Greetings in the Name of the Lord.  It has been an exciting month.  Many positive things are happening at Kansas Baptist Church.  The Lord is really blessing us  in many ways.  We are happy to inform that we have had a donation to the Family Life Center of $25,000 dollars.  With several other donations, this has really brought our total up.  I remarked last Sunday that our  thermometer on the wall in the sanctuary was really getting hot.

 

Project Report: The building committee met and decided to go ahead and do the grading and have the slab poured while the weather is right. Also, we want to let the community and those who have given see that God is moving in His Church.

We have had two men's work days, one at the pastorium and one at the Church.  We also had our first brotherhood meeting with breakfast and a speaker.  It was a very inspirational time with sixteen men present.  I want to thank Steve Cox for his willingness to be our director for the men's ministry.

 

The pastorium is in fine shape and we have had it appraised.

Soon the land situation will be resolved and we will be able to sell it.  Pray that God will send us the right person and we can get top dollars for it to go into the Family Life Center.

The church property is looking very good.  Thanks to Alton Concord for over seeing the removal of the brush and tree limbs.
Enclosed with this newsletter is the floor plan for the Family Life Center.  The building will be directly behind the Church.
The main entrance will be by a covered canopy connected to the present building.  A hall will connect the educational department and fellowship and dining hall to the gymnasium.  There are double doors from the fellowship hall into the gym to accommodate an overflow crowd which someday we fully expect.

 

Please note the two safe rooms that will also serve as Sunday school rooms.  There will be a large room we call a conference room which can be divided into two Sunday school rooms with folding curtains. The gym will allow us to develop ministries that have been proven to be effective outreach tools. 

There are many programs that will reach young people and minister to adults as well.  This space will allow us to host large special events.

 

 

We have produced a "Kansas Baptist Church Puppet Ministry Video" If you would like to purchase one of the videos which includes our Fall Festival, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Valentines programs, send seven dollars which also covers shipping to: Alfred M. Hartley (see address)

All but  cost  will go to the puppet Ministry.  Our  thanks to Teresa Eads, director and Karen Ivey for  their work with the children.  Thanks to Henry Barnes for  video taping.

 
Felix and Loudell Dobbins were once members of a well known Quartet, "The Joymasters."  Six of their LP albums have been remastered into CDs.  Brother Felix has given me permission to make these CDs available to anyone who will make a donation to the Kansas Baptist Church Family Life Center. Below is a list, check the ones you would like.  There is no dollar amount set for each CD, however, please be generous.  All donations will go on the Family Life Center.
