Nursery and Sunday School Notes: Nursery is offered at the 10:00 a.m. service for children under three. There is no attendant scheduled today, but parents are welcome to stay with their children in the Nursery.
We are looking for one more volunteer to teach Sunday School once a month (see Karen Bennett), and another volunteer or two to help out in the Nursery (see Kelly Clement). All materials are provided and the work is rewarding!
Membership Sunday: We are pleased to welcome seven people as new members of our church today! Please greet them during the Coffee Hour between the services.

Let Lyn Zanow know if you have a Corn Hole set you can bring.
Midweek Bible Study resumes this Wednesday and will continue each week through May. We gather in the Conference Room at the Hall from 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. Anyone interested is welcome!
Chime Ensemble will rehearse this Wednesday at 6:15 p.m. Members are: Terry Klodnicki, Dave Price, Karen Owens, Kayla Soucy, Amey Woolam and Pam Zook.
Choir Rehearsal resumes this Wednesday night and will continue each week through May. Come join us if you like to sing!
National Day of Prayer is held on the first Thursday in May, inviting people of all faiths to pray for our nation. This year’s theme is, “Lift Up the Word; Light Up the World.” Join in prayer that day for our nation!
ShopRite Cards: These work just like cash, and we earn 5% on every dollar. Buy them here and help raise funds for the church! See Jennifer Souders, Sue Hitchner or Karen Luttenberger
(609-617-4546).
Parking Lot Project: Thanks to everyone who gave toward the repaving and repairing of our parking lots! Thanks also to the Trustees who oversaw the project. We appreciate you!
Community Resource: If you (or someone you know) are in need of groceries, the Pitman Pantry is open to all New Jersey residents. Located in the rear of the First Baptist Church of Pitman at 30 N. Broadway, the pantry is open every week on Tuesdays (6:00 – 7:00 pm), Wednesdays (4:00 – 5:00 pm), and Thursdays (12:00 – 1:00 pm). Call 856-589-8588 if you have questions. It’s there to help.
Family Promise: This nation-wide organization wants to prevent and end homelessness for families with children and help them achieve sustainable independence through a community-based response. We are a support church for Family Promise. The next week we are scheduled to provide meals is May 19th – 25th. Three different families (located at three different locations) will need meals for the week; that means 21 meals! There are options to provide a meal, groceries, or gift cards for meals. There is a special sign-up method if you would like to help. Please contact Karen Luttenberger at 609-617-4546 for details. We do need to have more people involved in this, as the needs just keep growing!
Graduating? If you are graduating this spring from high school or college, please let us know. Contact the church office (HermanSM@comcast.net or 856-589-0874).
Greeters/Ushers: If you are willing to serve as the Greeters and Ushers for an upcoming Sunday, please sign up in the church entryway! You can volunteer for one week or several.
