As Mother's Day approaches, I thought you would like some deep theological thoughts about motherhood.
I found the following, from Peg Beukema of Nyack, New York, which might answer some questions you might have about God and mothers.
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.
To all the moms out there, and to all the ladies who work with our children and are like moms to them, we love you and thank God for you. Have a happy Mother's Day.
With Love,
Pastor Scott

AWANA MINUTE
It has been another incredible year of AWANA! The 2023 -2024 club year is about to end. Club in April was busy, with sections being completed, books being finished, and the word of God being presented, it’s so exciting to experience the Love of God flowing through the hearts and minds of clubbers each week.
April 3 – Clubbers were seen with old friends from home. They brought their favorite stuffies to meet their Awana friends for a stuffed animal theme night.
April 17 – Clubbers and leaders enjoyed our theme night, Measles night. Clubbers had the chance to give their leaders a colored dot on them for each section that they passed. Leaders looked like they had measles by the time the night was over.
April 17 – Our 6th graders and leaders spent part of their evening working their way out of an escape room for their graduation Trek outing. Great job, they solved the mysteries and got out in 51 minutes. The Trek club adventured out to the Get Air trampoline park and spent part of their evening having fun bouncing on trampolines for their club outing.
April 24 - Clubbers were seen munching on pizza and drinking Kool-Aid for our last theme night of this club year.
Saturday, April 27, Sparks & T&T clubbers gave up extra sleep, cartoons, cereal, pop-tarts, and 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 1, where clubbers will unload and empty their bank accounts of hard-earned points and purchase cool items found on the store shelves. A Great BIG THANK YOU goes out to Kelli Bush who takes care of our Awana store!
We will host our Awards/closing Ceremonies Wednesday, May 8 beginning at 6:05 pm 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 does help make a difference in these kids’ lives.
A Great Big Thank-you also goes out to Pastor Scott, the clubbers parents, Grandparents, caregivers, and all of you the congregation members who continue to actively support our programs faithfully with your positive support and prayers!
T H A N K – Y O U!!!
Both of us Co-Commanders really do Appreciate all of you and your dedication!
Cool with Christ, Tere Sharp, Co-Commander

Here at SRBC, we collect a Fellowship Offering on the 3rd Sunday of every month. This offering is used for emergency needs and financial assistance 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.

OUR CALLING TO MINISTRY
2024 brings a celebration of 36 years of marriage and 20 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.
ALL AWANA MISSIONARIES ARE 100% FAITH SUPPORTED
God provides the resources for our ministry and living expenses through the faithfulness of those churches and individuals who become partners with us. We receive no financial assistance from Awana Club International.
