Here’s how several elementary school students answered the following questions about moms:
Why did God make mothers?
• She’s the only one who knows where the Scotch tape is.
• Mostly to clean the house.
• To help us out of there when we were getting born.
How did God make mothers?
• He used dirt, just like for the rest of us.
• Magic plus superpowers and a lot of stirring.
• God made my mom just the same like he made me. He just used bigger parts.
Of what ingredients are mothers made?
• God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice in the world, and one
dab of mean.
• They had to get their start from men’s bones. Then they mostly use string, I think.
Why did God give you your mother and not some other mom?
• We’re related.
• God knew she likes me a lot more than other people’s moms like me.
With gratitude to all of our moms. May you have a great Mother's Day!
With love, Pastor Scott

Here at SRBC we collect a Fellowship Offering on the 3rd Sunday of every month. This offering is used for emergency needs and financial assisstance for those in need. This has been a great ministry of our church through the years, and we just want to remind you that we are continuing to collect this offering. There is a basket marked Fellowship Fund on the communion table, or you may send in your offering specified as Fellowship Fund. We still focus on the offering on the 3rd Sunday, but you may give at any time. Your giving Matters !

AWANA MINUTE
It has been another incredible year of AWANA! The 2022 -23 club year is about to end. Club in April was terribly busy, with sections being completed, books being finished, the word of God being presented, it’s so exciting to experience the Love of God flowing thru the hearts and minds of clubbers each week.
April 5 ~ Clubbers were seen eating lots of most excellent popcorn for popcorn
theme night.
April 19~ Clubbers and leaders enjoyed a nice, sweet treat while working
through the night for our cookie theme night.
April 19 ~ The Trek club adventured out to the Magic Castle Family Fun Center
to play some games and have some serious FUN for their club outing.
April 26 ~ Clubbers arrived dressed in their pj’s complete with stuffies, robes,
slippers, and some cool pj’s for our last theme night of this club year.
April 29 ~ Sparks & TNT clubbers gave up extra sleep, cartoons, cereal, morning video games and came in to work hard at Super Section Saturday, finishing hard and long sections, challenges, and discoveries (Yea, Go Clubbers!). Thank-you to all leaders for helping to make this such a fun and rewarding
event for all who attended.
The last Awana store for this club year will open May 3, where clubbers will unload and empty out their bank accounts of hard-earned points and purchase cool items found on the store shelves.
We will host our Awards/closing Ceremonies Wednesday May 10 beginning at 6:05pm in the Sanctuary where all clubbers and leaders will be recognized for their accomplishments this club year. We would like to invite everyone to come celebrate with us as we close out this club year.
We would like to say a Special THANK-YOU to all of our Directors, Leaders, Listeners, leaders in training, helpers, the kitchen staff for dinners and desserts, Fran our Church secretary, Chris our Janitor for doing such a great and wonderful job in faithfully ministering to all of the kids of our Church and neighborhoods about the word of God. All of your participation, service, support, and dedication really does help make a difference in these kids’ lives.

The Church Council has decided that we will not be having Wednesday night dinners during the summer months. Therefore, starting May 17, there will be a change in our mid- week schedule. In order to give people a little more time to eat at home before coming to church, we will not start our activities (CKK, summer youth group and adult Bible Study) until 6:30 p.m. Those events will finish at 7:30 p.m.
We hope to resume our Wednesday night meals in the fall.

OUR CALLING TO MINISTRY
Mike & Chris Reed
2023 brings a celebration of 35 years of marriage and 19 years of serving as full-time missionaries with Awana. Neither of us grew up going to Awana and did not even hear the name “Awana” until after we were married. Before joining Awana in 2004, we served in our church’s Awana ministry for 15 years and served as volunteers on Steve and Pam Schenk’s ministry team.
While at a Bible Quiz event in early 2003, God stirred in us His calling to serve as missionaries with Awana. We began serving as Awana missionaries in August 2004. We served in Kansas for 7 ½ years before moving to western Kentucky in December 2011. In October 2016, we relocated back to central Ohio. Mike also is a
Sr. Field Director for the US Ministries.
We are humbled by how God is working through us to equip and encourage churches in their mission to reach and disciple children and youth through the Awana ministry.
