We all have people in our lives who have made a real difference. It's not too late to recognize them through our WMU Shining Stars project. Remember, for each person recognized, include $10, write down their name and put it in the Special Offerings envelope or turn in to the church office by May 31st. (Make checks payable to FBC.) Look for their "star" on the bulletin board outside the choir room. All contributions help fund WMU NC projects. This is a great way to honor someone and to help someone at the same time!

A Note from Joseph and Jessie Moon
First Baptist family,
Jessie and I are overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity shown towards us and our Moon babies by you. Not only at the shower, but in the 4 years that we have been here.
It was not an easy decision for us to leave First Baptist, but we are so thankful for the time we've had with you all. We are already looking forward to visiting in the future.
We know that the opportunity for us to be in Asheville is part of God's plan for us. We are very appreciative of everyone's support and encouragement.
Love always,
Joseph and Jessie (and the Moon babies too!)
Baby Shower for Jessie and Joseph Moon
Please come to a baby shower honoring Jessie and Joseph Moon and their two baby Moons (boy and girl). The shower will be April 9th from 2:00 – 3:30 PM in the Mission Fellowship Center. The babies are registered at Babies R’ Us, Target and Walmart.
Jessie and Joseph will be making their home in Asheville in the near future, due to Joseph's job. They have been such a blessing and asset to our church for several years. We are sad to see them go, but we pray for God's blessings on them.
Thank You Note
To our church family,
Sam and I would like to thank you for your love shown to us during my recent surgery and time of recuperation. For the many cards, flowers, visits, food, reading materials, and other kind things, we truly thank you. We are truly blessed by our loving church family.
Sam and Dorris Beck
