The Beacon May 2013

Thank you for your faithful prayers and continued support!!!
Thanks for your continued prayers  for our new Sunday School program and teachers.  We began Sunday, May 5!
These are pictures of our brand new breakfast ministry.  When Pastor Bill announced the new Sunday School program, Bruce (above) came to him and asked if he could begin a breakfast ministry to help families more easily attend Sunday School.  What a blessing!! Above are pictures of three of our breakfast makers, Shirley, Melissa, and Bruce.  The other, Cheryl,  is pictured serving a cup to a child in the top left photo of this group.  We are so thankful!
One Saturday in April, Pastor Bill, along with some adventurous adults, took the teens on a canoe trip picnic.  Some of them brought some fishing poles, and one canoe is getting the hook out of the tree for another canoe.  Not pictured is Pastor Bill’s canoe.  They had a great time!
These three photos are from our fishing trip after our April Fellowship Dinner.  Everyone got plenty to eat, and then anyone who wanted to fish came out for a great day!
FINALLY, here is a a picture of our Men’s Prayer Breakfast.  Our men get together once a month to pray, do a Bible study, and eat  a great breakfast!

Youth Fishing Trip

After a yummy fellowship dinner, we loaded up and took our kids to Frenchtown Park for some fishing.  We had a wonderful time together in the sunshine and the great outdoors.  Some of the kids decided to leave their poles and head for the playground.  But persistence paid off for Peter Gedeon, who caught the only trout of the day!  Great job, Peter!

Happy Easter!  Here are some of the kids from our church posing for us between Sunday School and Church.  We are very thankful for the children God has given us at Beacon Church!
We would especially like to thank all of our supporters for your faithful support of our ministry.  God is using your faithful prayers and giving to minister to the people of Rhode Island.
How nice to have Richard and Sandy Atwood from Home Missions to visit! We had such a nice time of fellowship with them.  What an encouragement they are!  Bro. Richard preached for us, and then he helped judge the annual Youth Baking Contest.  We really had to twist his arm to be a judge!  Our young people made some amazing pies this year!  They have a good time making them, and we have a great time eating them.  It’s a win-win situation!  All the contestants (pictured on page 1) received an ice cream cone gift certificate from The Inside Scoop, and the winners (pictured on page 2) received $10 Inside Scoop gift cards.
Our Ladies’ Bible Study Luncheon was a nice time of fellowship last month.  We are really looking forward to the next one this Sunday because Sue Goodfellow will be taking over the study, and we can’t wait to hear what she has planned.  We are very thankful for her!
