MEADOWOOD HAPPENINGS
May Happenings at MBC
May is a busy month for Meadowood Baptist Church. We have so much to celebrate
with our families who have new additions and those reaching
milestones in their lives. It is also a month to honor our
Mothers for all that they do for us. The older I get the more I
appreciate all that my mother sacrificed for me, my sister and
my two brothers. She worked tirelessly to make sure that we
had what we needed and we always knew we were loved.
Please make time on Sunday, May 10th, to let your mother
know how much she means to you. At Meadowood Baptist Church we will have
“Muffins with Mom” at the end of our 8:15 worship and before Sunday School time at
9:30 in the Foyer as well as recognition during our morning worship services.
Baby Dedication is part of our services on Mother’s Day,
Sunday, May 10th. During our 10:45 Worship Service we
celebrate new additions to your family and our church family.
We are so blessed by the babies who have come into our
church’s life in the past year. Parents, if you would like your
child to participate, please get a form, fill it out and return it to
the Church Office by Monday, May 4. Please come and be a
part of this special service as these children are dedicated to the Lord.
High School Graduate Recognition is to be held on Sunday, May 17 during our 10:45
Morning Worship Service. This service is a great time to let our students know how
proud of them we are and to hear what their future plans are.
Please come and be a part of this service. There will be memory
tables set up in the Foyer for each student to display what they
have accomplished during the past 12 years of high school. Parents
or students will need to pick up a form and return it to the Church
Office by Monday, May 11. Please see the Student Ministry section
for more details. We have several who will be graduating this year
and we all want you here to share this special service with Meadowood.

BOOK NOTES
“He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to
love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:8
NONFICTION:
Before Amen by Max Lucado.
Prayer is a lifeline, a beacon of
hope that we can cling to in life’s
difficult moments...Lord, please
protect my family....God, I need your
help to make it though today...Jesus,
thank you for your grace...it goes on
and on. Prayer is the most
necessary and most basic
expression of our faith, yet we
often struggle to do it. The daily
duties of life crowd in, filling our
days with activity and we don’t
communicate with our Heavenly
Father. Thankfully, we aren’t the
first followers to struggle with
prayer, the disciples did too.
FICTION:
Dandelion Summer by Lisa
Wingate. All of her life, Epiphany
Salerno has been tossed like a

sixteen, she must move to the lowrent side of Blue Sky Hill with her
indifferent mother. Half Italian and
half-African-American, Epie
doesn’t fit in. Even worse, she must
work where she’s not wanted, in an
upscale home on The Hill. J
Norman Alvord’s daughter has
hired a teenager to stay with him
in the afternoons. Widowed and
suffering from heart trouble,
Norman wants to be left alone.

Angels Walking, Book 1 by
Karen Kingsbury. When former
national baseball star Tyler Ames
suffers a career-ending injury, all
he can think about is putting his
life back together the way it was
before. He has lost everyone he
loves on his way to the big
leagues. Then just when things
seem to be turning around, Tyler
hits rock bottom. A team of
Angels Walking take on the
mission to restore hope for Tyler
and his first love, Sami Dawson.
Can unseen actions bring healing
and redemption? And can the
words of a stranger rekindle lost
love? Every journey begins with
the first step.

3. Because they were all speaking in foreign
languages.
