Spring is springing and none to soon for my blood. I am ready for the warm rays of the North

Texas spring sunshine. I am not a fan of cold weather. So bring on the sun…and at the same

time bring on some soaking spring rains. Our beautiful Lake Texoma desperately needs the rain.

In spite of the cold winter, we have had an amazing few months around Georgetown Baptist

Church. First, and foremost, we have called (hired) a Preschool/Children’s Minister to help give

leadership and direction to our ministry to families with kids. This is a full time position and, as

far as I can tell, the first time GBC has had a full-time person over the Children’s ministry. I,

along with our leadership teams, believe this is a critical and pivotal position for reaching the

unsaved and unchurched in our community. Tria Heaton is our new Preschool/Children’s

Minister. She comes with a passion and love for kids and their families and a wealth of experience in Children’s ministry. Make sure to meet Tria and her husband, Don and their four beautiful

daughters.

Another thing that I am celebrating is the phenomenal response to our “Loving the Orphans”

Shoe Drive through the month of February. Buckner International is a ministry in Dallas that

works with orphanages all around the world. Part of their ministry is the Shoes For Orphan Souls

that provides new shoes for orphans. This is their 15th anniversary and they will deliver their 3

millionth pair of shoes this year. GBC partnered with them to collect shoes. We set a goal to

collect 125 pair of shoes. When the shoes you donated were all counted our church had collected

167 pair of shoes. Thank you for your faithfulness to meet a need in the name of Jesus Christ.

The third thing I will highlight is that our annual Mexico mission trip scheduled for July 26 –

August 2 has already filled up. We can only accommodate 20 people and we already have those

20 slots filled with a waiting list in case someone drops out. The Latvia mission trip is scheduled

for June 18-29 and still has some spots open. How exciting to see people involved in missions to

share the love and message of Jesus Christ.

Sunday Bible study classrooms are filling up, parking spots are getting harder to come by and

worship seating is filling up each week. I believe that we are seeing the fruit of our connecting

with our community over the past five years. Now people, especially young families, are coming

to check out what we do on Sundays in studying the Word and worshipping our great God.

These are exciting days for Georgetown Baptist Church. I am humbly grateful to have the privilege of being pastor of this great church…a church that genuinely has a passion for God and a

passion for people. We are not perfect, but we will continue to strive to be a light on the hill for

those who are hurting and need Jesus.

God bless you as you seek to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

By His grace,

Thank You!

To our friends at Georgetown Church:

There is no possible way to personally thank each

and every one of you for your outpouring of love

for Cindy and words could never express how

much we appreciate the kindness shown to her and

our family during her illness. Your unending

prayers and expressions of concern were not only a

wonderful blessing to Cindy, but a source for our

entire family. Mere words could never express how

truly grateful we are. May God bless you all!

Aaron, Adam & Taylor Looney

Our church is so sweet... Bro. Bobby and

the girls from the Bible class just removed

those ole leaves that I have worried about

all winter. Thank you for the wonderful

job you did.

And.... Then Pat Spoede, Pat Dumitru and

Janie Allen, along with all the women and

men made John and Lorene Pearson’s day

at the Valentine’s party. Thanks so much.

We feel so, so loved.

King & Queen—John & Lorene Pearson

John Pearson made it OK. Thanks

Georgetown for all the calls and prayers

during John’s surgery. We were so

afraid at his age 89 to have this done.

On January 6 at 6 pm it was 13 degrees.

Jim & Brenda—you will never know

what your concern and prayers and

presence meant to Bob, Allen, Lorene &

John. He checks the answering machine

all through the day to see whose calling

him. We couldn’t make these bad

times without the cards and our church

friends.

Love, John, Lorene & Children Thank you so much for the beautiful ivy.

More than anything, thank you for your

prayers and kind words. You will never

know how much that meant.

Love and God Bless.

Jim, Cindy & Tyler Bunch

Dear Georgetown Baptist Church,

Thank you so much for hosting a Buckner

Shoes for Orphan Soul drive! The shoes

and socks you collected are currently being

processed by

volunteers and will soon be shipped and

delivered to orphans and vulnerable chil-

dren around the world. New shoes and

socks bring good health, access to educa-

tion and hope in Jesus Christ. Thank you

for this meaningful gift!

Sincerely,

Sara Beth Tunnell & The Buckner Shoes

Dear Precious Ladies & sometimes men

Thanks so very much! Your love blooms
