Easter Sunday is a huge day in the<br />
life and ministry of our church. Sometimes,<br />
after the egg hunts are over and our families<br />
return home, we can be fooled into thinking<br />
that the season of Easter is over. However,<br />
in the church, Eastertide lasts 50 days. As<br />
we move through those days together, here<br />
are a few practical ways to hold onto the joy<br />
and celebration of Christ’s resurrection.<br />
Practice Gratitude: Through these fifty days,<br />
watch for God’s good gifts all around you.<br />
Look for signs of Jesus’ resurrection in<br />
events and people in your life and<br />
community. Pay attention to the small gifts<br />
of daily life, and thank God for each of<br />
them. You might want to consider starting a<br />
thankfulness journal and commit to adding<br />
five items to the list each day. Or, you may<br />
want to partner with others to talk through<br />
the things you’re thankful for each week. Be<br />
sure to pray your thanks as well!<br />
Focus on Light: Watch for the word ‘light’ in<br />
Scripture, songs on the radio, hymns, and<br />
poetry. Write a poem or statement about the<br />
ways Jesus is your light, and ask for further<br />
light in specific areas of your life and in the<br />
lives of loved ones. Use various names for<br />
God and Jesus in simple prayers: “Lord<br />
Jesus Christ, light of the world, shine your<br />
light on me” (John 8:12). “Word of God, be<br />
the lamp to my feet and the light on my<br />
path” (Psalm 119:105). These prayers can be<br />
prayed for others as well as yourself.<br />
were held in slavery by the fear of death”<br />
(Hebrews 2:15). In what ways has Jesus<br />
freed you from that fear? In what ways<br />
would you like to experience more freedom?<br />
What do you think that might look like?<br />
Journal or talk with a friend about the role<br />
fear of death has played in your life. Pray<br />
your thanks, and pray for further growth in<br />
claiming the hope of the resurrection in your<br />
own life.<br />
Celebrate New Life: Take time to plant a<br />
flower or tree, spend time in nature, and<br />
celebrate the way that the earth is celebrating<br />
Christ’s resurrection all around you. Thank<br />
God for the many reminders that new life<br />
comes into places that we once thought were<br />
dead.<br />
Eastertide is a time to begin moving out into<br />
the world with the good news of the<br />
resurrection. May we experience that new<br />
life and new hope in our own lives so that<br />
our witness can be one of joy!<br />
May you sense God’s blessings in your life<br />
each day,<br />
Rev. Kristin Adkins Whitesides<br />
Ponder Freedom: Think about the fact that<br />
Jesus has freed “those who all their lives

Children’s Ministry News from Alison<br />
This year’s Easter Egg hunt was one egg-citing event!!!<br />
There were three separate sections for egg hunting this year.<br />
Children 3 & under were on the playground, 4 through<br />
kindergarten were on the hill leading<br />
to the CEB, and first through fifth<br />
grade were on the big hill. All children<br />
had an awesome time!<br />
Ryan Billings was the winner of this<br />
years jackpot egg!!! Congrats Ryan!!<br />
Thank you to all who help to make<br />
this event a fun success for our kids!<br />
Michelle's View from the Ridge<br />
Hunting Ridge Retreat welcomed tons of excited youth in March, including Shenandoah Valley Baptist Church<br />
Girls Retreat, two weekends of St. Marks, and All Saints. The ministry leaders and youth all seemed pleased with<br />
their time at HRR and one of our groups even rebooked for the next two years.<br />
First Baptist, ya’ll can be proud of yourselves! We started out the month with the Conrow Family Gathering,<br />
then hosted the Easter Sunrise Service and ended with our successful HRR Spring Work Day. A huge thank you<br />
to all the volunteers who gave up their Saturday morning and came out, in the rain, to help us clean up our trails.<br />
Today I wanted to share with you the testimony of Debi Cali, Grace United Methodist Church youth leader to<br />
encourage your hearts about the ministry work taking place out here at Hunting Ridge.<br />
At Hunting Ridge, we hope that as FBC members you can catch the vision that HRR is a window to reach our<br />
world for Christ. Your prayers and support help keep this active ministry of FBC alive.<br />
“Thank you and the Church for all the sacrifices that go into this labor of love. The chapel, the fellowship hall,<br />
the cabins, the lake, Ms. Mellissa and family, all together are the perfect fit for leaving my cares at the door and<br />
allowing me to focus on the retreat, the students and GOD. Praise God for this ministry. One student that had<br />
come 3 years ago, has felt a call to ministry over the past year. That student, came back, and preached their first<br />
sermon at the retreat this weekend. That student wanted it to be at HRR because that was the place where God<br />
is... IT was a highlight of our weekend, but also of my career. LEADING someone else to be in ministry. YOU<br />
all are providing a setting for this to happen. PRAISE GOD on HIGH!!”<br />
Debbie Cali, Grace United Methodist Church Youth Leader

Sherry’s “Son” Shine Notes<br />
Watch Me Learn<br />
From Early Years-Working together for a great start<br />
“I can say my ABC’s!” “Listen to me count to 10!” Children this age are eager to show you what they know.<br />
Keep the learning-and the excitement going with these suggestions:<br />
Read along with me: Encourage a love of reading by making your child an active participant. If a story has<br />
repeated phrases, put him in charge of reading them. Pause before the last word of each line in a nursery rhyme,<br />
and have him supply it. Turn the tables at bedtime: give him a book he knows by heart, and ask him to read to<br />
you.<br />
Make writing an everyday thing: Offer your youngster meaningful opportunities to write letters and words. If she<br />
pretends to be a rock star, request her autograph. Or if she draws a birthday card for a relative, ask her to dictate<br />
what she wants to say, and use a highlighter to print her words. Then, she, could trace over the letters with a<br />
crayon or marker.<br />
Just add math-to everything: Playing with math concepts will develop your child’s number sense. Have him sort<br />
and count beads to make bracelets. In the grocery store, challenge him to spot every number, 1-10, on signs and<br />
labels. At snack time, he might explore shapes by connecting pineapple chunks or strawberries with toothpicks to<br />
form flat shapes (squares, triangles, rectangles) or 3-D ones (cubes, pyramids).<br />
This 6-week FREE course will teach you a fun<br />
and practical approach to raising wonderful<br />
children. During the course, you will learn<br />
about the two rules of Love and Logic®, the<br />
Anticipatory Consequence and ways to<br />
neutralize arguing and much more. You will<br />
walk out with information and ideas that you<br />
can use right away. The group will meet for<br />
dinner (if you would like to join us) in the<br />
upstairs Fellowship Hall and then will gather in<br />
the Men’s Bible Class for the Love and Logic®<br />
course. We will meet on the Wednesday<br />
evenings listed.<br />

like to honor a birthday or anniversary or place an arrangement<br />
in memory of a loved one, please call the church office.<br />
Sanctuary arrangement order forms are also available in each<br />
narthex. The cost of each arrangement is $35. The arrangement<br />
may be taken home or delivered by a deacon to one of our<br />
hospitalized or homebound members .<br />
Volunteers for Our Homebound Members<br />
Volunteers are needed to provide assistance to several<br />
homebound church members who no longer drive or have<br />
family close by to help. If you’re willing to help take the member<br />
to the store, a medical appointment or run an errand for them,<br />
please call the church office (662-5367). Your help would mean<br />
so much to someone unable to accomplish simple tasks on their<br />
own.
