The Freebees are back in town, ready to be caught by Junior High and High School campers, just in time to help pay the way to Quaker Meadow Camp this summer. Where are the Freebees? What are the Freebees? If you want to go to Quaker Meadow Camp, you had better start looking for Freebees in May's Sunday School Opening time (9:15 to 9:30 each Sunday morning)! For Sunday, May 4th, bring a Quaker Meadow-themed poster to Opening -- be creative!
Camp dates for 2008 are: Junior High, June 23-28, and High School, July 25 to August 2.
For more information, see Pastor Jim, Andy, or Josh.

On May 7th, Bob and Dorothy Jones will have been married to each other for 60 years! Their children are putting on a special celebration in their honor on Saturday, May 3rd at the First Baptist Church of Fair Oaks. We are so happy for them and wish them the very best! Bob recently had a couple of surgeries but is feeling fine now and is ready to enjoy the planned festivities. There is a copy of one of their wedding pictures in the foyer of the church. What a lovely couple they were and still are!
