As flu season has arrived, and especially in light of the threat of the H1N1 virus; I wanted to remind you of some very "common sense" precautions to help protect you and your family. Remember these are hopefully, "common sense" precautions coming from a Pastor and not a medical professional:
1) Pray that the Lord will keep us from an outbreak of flu, (H1N1 or any other kind) among us!
2) Please do not come to church if you are ill. If you have cold or flu symptoms, or if you have had a fever in the past 24 hours, please stay home and seek your Doctor's advice about your situation.
3) Please do not bring children who are ill, or who appear to be ill, to church or to church related activities. If they have cold or flu symptoms, or if they have had a fever in the past 24 hours, please keep them home and seek your Doctor's advice about their situation.
4) We have put lots of hand sanitizer around the church, including dispensers on the foyer walls by the main doors. Please use it regularly. (Especially after shaking so many hands).
5) If you have a cough, please cover your mouth and use hand sanitizer before shaking hands with anyone... especially the Pastor! ;>)

I HOPE YOU WILL ATTEND YOUR CBA ANNUAL MEETING THIS SATURDAY!
I hope you will take time out of your already too-busy schedule to attend the 60th Annual Meeting of YOUR Association this coming Saturday!
The meeting is being held at the First Baptist Church of Atwood, 231 N. Illinois Street, Atwood. The church is located one block west and one block north of beautiful downtown Atwood. (From US Highway 36, turn North on Atwood Road and go to the bank; turn left (west) on Forest Street and go one block to Illinois Street and turn right (north). The church is in the middle of the block on the left!
We have had an overall "UP!" year this year and we will recognize several of our churches with "Excellence in Ministry" Awards! It appears that the weather will be lovely, and I know the meeting will be a source of great encouragement to you!
Power of Praise will provide pre-session music beginning at 2:45pm. The meeting will begin at 3pm, and we will have dinner together at 5:45pm. There is no charge for the meal, which is being provided by the members of the church. Following the meal, we will have a second session and we should be done by 8pm.
We will have great worship led by Power of Praise, Bill Fleming, and Mike Rutledge. Chris Granda will provide special music in the evening session. You will be blessed by our Annual Bible Study led this year by Pastor Adam Cruse of FBC Mt Zion, and our Annual Sermon by Pastor Doug Davis of Arthur Southern Baptist!
Oh yeah, we'll hear reports, vote on the budget, and all of our usual business; but, we will also have a great and encouraging time of fellowship. Pat Pajak, Associate Executive Director of IBSA will bring us a special report on the new SBC Evangelism initative, "Across Illinois".
