Amen. Page 36, we're going to sing Christ Arose.
Page 36, Christ Arose.
Page 36, Christ Arose on the first.
He arose a victor from the dark domain and he lives forever with his saints to reign.
He arose, he arose, hallelujah Christ arose on the second.
Mainly they watch his bed, Jesus my Savior.
Mainly they seal the dead, Jesus my Lord.
Up from the grave he arose with a mighty triumph o'er his soles.
He arose a victor from the dark domain and he lives forever with his saints to reign.
He arose, he arose, hallelujah Christ arose on the last.
Death cannot keep his grave, Jesus my Savior.
He tore the bars away, Jesus my Lord.
Up from the grave he arose with a mighty triumph o'er his soles.
He arose a victor from the dark domain and he lives forever for his saints to reign.
He arose, he arose, hallelujah Christ arose.
Hey, great singing.
I guess it's time for me to say something.
All right, good morning. Welcome to Sturt Foundation Baptist Church.
And happy Easter to everybody.
We're going to take our bulletin and go through some announcements.
If you need a bulletin, would you lift up your hand?
We only have two bulletins left, but they'll go to the highest bidder.
Going once, all right.
If you lift up your hand, he'll find you, okay?
On our front cover, we have our verse of the week.
It says, and the angel answered and said unto the women, excuse me,
fear not ye, for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
He is not here, for he is risen.
As he said, come see the place where the Lord lay.
Matthew chapter 28, verse 5 and 6.
And of course, we're celebrating the fact that Jesus rose from the dead.
And so happy Easter or Resurrection Day or whatever you want to call it.
But I'm just thankful that he arose for us.
And on the inside, there's a little message from me.
If you ever have any questions on spiritual matters
or if there's anything we can ever do for you,
just please feel free to come and talk to me,
either before the service, after the service is usually better.
And if you want to know how to be saved
or to know 100% sure that you're going to heaven,
we do have people that are trained to present the gospel
and show you from the Bible what it takes to be saved.
So if you're just, you know, I don't want anybody here to leave
not knowing for sure that they're on their way to heaven.
And so we like to show people from the Bible what it says.
And then if you also have been saved and you want to be baptized,
please see one of the ushers.
The ushers are the guys with the pins on their jacket that say,
Usher on them.
And they're the guys that are at the door and in the back room
or the back of the room there.
But they would be happy to talk to you about getting baptized
or you can talk to me after the service any time.
Our service times are Sunday morning at 10.30 a.m.
and our Sunday evening service is 3.30 p.m.
Thursday Bible studies at 6.30 p.m.
and our soul wanting times are listed below.
Soul wanting is when we go and knock on doors
and know we're not Jehovah's Witnesses,
know we're not Mormons.
We actually have the right gospel.
So we go and the Bible says daily in the temple
they cease not to preach and teach Jesus Christ.
So daily and in every house and in the temple.
So every house needs to be knocked
and that's what our goal is to knock every single door in Vancouver
and just allow people to make the decision
of whether or not they want to be saved.
So that's what we do and we have various times we do that
throughout the week.
Today there will be sowing.
It might be a little bit later than 1.10.
We are having a potluck right after the service
and all this food smells wonderful.
So don't go crazy being hungry and all that stuff.
I'll try to preach as fast as I can but I've said that before.
But anyway we're here to celebrate the Lord
and to preach the Word of God.
So food comes afterwards but rest assured you'll be able to eat.
We are going to have a couple baptisms
or at least one baptism today after the service.
So we will have to at the last song whoever's getting baptized
please right when the last song starts
go get changed into the clothes you're going to get baptized in.
And then when you come back around the corner
I'll be waiting right there for you when you come around the corner
and then I'll just motion you up to come and get baptized.
So that'll be right after the service
and when the ladies say that we're ready to unleash on the food
then we will pray.
I'll probably just pray at the end of the service for the food
and that way we're all prayed up and ready to go.
But once the ladies say it's okay
then we'll make sure that we have decent and orderly lines.
You can go either way.
You can go on one side or the other.
Make it go a little bit faster.
Please don't let your small children grab their own plates.
Just stack a bunch of food on it for them if you want
and then just maybe have them sitting down.
It'll probably be a lot easier and a lot faster
for everybody to get through the line.
Let's see so our praise report if you look down
Oh soul-wanting I got away from the soul-wanting part.
Soul-wanting is going to be a little bit later
but brother Sean are you planning on preaching?
Is he in here?
You're not planning on preaching.
Okay so there'll be no little short sermon
but what time do you think for everybody to gather in here?
Probably just be here like 1.30
1.30 in here? Okay.
So 1.30 and just we'll be ready to go out
if you want to meet on location if you're not staying for lunch
or whatever and you want to meet on location
the address will be posted.
The address will be posted in the WhatsApp group.
If you're not in the WhatsApp group and you want to go soul-wanting
please see brother Sean he's right there after the service
and he'll make sure that you know where you're going.
If you look down you can see the praise report
the salvation's baptisms and attendance from last week
and we had five salvation's yesterday
so when we went out soul-wanting in Portland
in the Gresham area
so that was a great day of soul-wanting
and our soul-wanting's been up this year
so I'm really pleased with that.
It says February for some reason there even though I changed it to March
but I don't know what happened there.
I'm blaming Ryland because he's not here
and I blame him anyway
so I think that maybe some of the rest of this is not right also.
Let's see. Yeah it's not.
Okay so yeah I need to
Miss Juju sorry I know this is awkward
but did you grab the right bulletin?
Are you sure? Because I saved it and sent the other one back over.
Anyway yeah that's not right but anyway it's okay.
I'll just wing it now all right so now it's really awkward.
I'm going to start sweating.
Let's see so yesterday we had the big soul-wanting push in Gresham.
We had five saved and then Easter Sunday is obviously today.
There's potluck after the service
and you can see that this is what happens when pastor is in charge of the pictures.
I just I bought that backdrop and then my wife is sick
so she wasn't able to iron it all out so it's kind of ghetto.
So pray for a sunbreak you can take some family pictures
that if you you know if you want to use that I'm sorry about that that's my fault.
So anyway pastor fail you had one job.
But then April let's see April 11th is our homeschool field trip to Omsie.
That's going to be at 9 30 in the morning.
I think everybody should be already signed up for that.
If you have any questions see Miss Rachel Woods for that.
April 12th is going to be the crochet class.
So we have a busy week this coming week 3 p.m. here at the church building.
See Mrs. Boda for any questions.
And then the April 13th through 17th this this coming week also is the Detroit soul winning trip.
So please be praying for us that we see a great harvest
and then we can baptize some people afterwards.
But the main thing we're going to try to do is get people saved.
So there'll be a soul winning.
We're meeting up for dinner on Thursday night Fridays and all day soul winning.
Saturdays and all day soul winning.
There'll be two preaching services on Sunday.
I have schedules here if anybody wants one or needs one.
I think I gave pretty much everybody one that needed one.
If you didn't get one then please just come up to the pulpit and grab one after the service.
And let's see so Sunday and then Monday is going to have some more soul winning.
And then we're all going to come home.
So that's going to be a great trip.
Looking forward to that.
And then April 29th just we're not doing the Salem soul winning trip.
We're going to go soul winning and rent in Washington.
And the next day I'll be preaching.
I'll be preaching here in the morning but I'm going to be driving up to Seattle
because we're launching our church that weekend in Seattle.
So I'm going to be preaching there Sunday night at our new place, our new building in Renton.
So yeah I'm definitely going to want some guys to come with me if they want to
or you're more than welcome to come up and enjoy it.
There's 30 seats so if I get more people than that we're going to have to bring some chairs but that's okay.
So that's the weekend of the 29th.
So we'll have a soul winning marathon in Renton.
The next day I'll be here to preach.
Then I'll drive back up and preach on Sunday night up there.
And then you guys are going to be having a men's preaching night here.
That was already scheduled anyway so it's all going to work out great.
So if you want to go please let me know.
And I just want to make sure we have enough room for everybody for that first night up there.
And so I'm very excited about that.
There's a lot of people that are very excited about that.
They've been wanting it for a long time.
So we're going to give it to them.
So and then we have the ladies tea out in the distant future here.
Not too far away but the ladies tea and all ladies are welcome to attend.
But please there'll be sign ups for that.
So please make sure that you're signing up and how many people are coming with you.
But it's only ladies.
Ladies and daughters things like that.
So and we always have a good time there or I don't but they do.
And then the next day is Mother's Day of course.
And then we have the King James Conference May 25th through 28th.
So we are a family integrated church.
That means the children and infants are welcome during the church services.
Please remember the rules for the mother baby room.
And just take your children out if they're screaming or crying really loud.
And then also you can use those rooms for feeding or changing diapers or whatever.
But please know dad's in the mother baby room and no mom's in the dad baby room during the services.
And reserve the back rows for families with young children.
The rockers and gliders are for pregnant nursing mothers and elders only.
Please know men in the mother baby room.
I already said that.
No unattended children in any area of the building.
Please watch your children.
And no food in the assembly area except for today.
So I definitely don't want mashed potatoes and ham mashed into the seats or anything like that.
But you can eat out here.
There might not be enough room in there.
I got some tables set up.
We might be able to set up a couple other tables in here if we have room.
But today only you can eat in here.
Or any other time when we're having a big event.
So anyway, also please silence your cell phones this time.
And escorts are available by the ushers to your vehicles if you need one.
Just tap them on the shoulder and ask them if they can walk you to your car.
Online donations are available on our website.
The text giving number is below.
The offerings are at the bottom of the page there.
And then we have, let's see, Mikey Grossman has a birthday coming up this Tuesday.
Where's he at?
He's right there.
How old are you going to be Mikey?
21.
He's an eligible bachelor.
He's 21 years old.
That's Mikey.
He's been coming to our church for a while now.
And he's a great addition to our church.
So let's go ahead and sing Mikey happy birthday.
Happy birthday.
Hello.
Start again.
This is a train wreck announcement.
I'm sorry.
Ready?
What?
Jesse?
Okay.
Jesse's birthday is on the 12th.
All right.
So how old are you going to be?
Hold on.
25.
Also an eligible bachelor and new to our church.
All right.
Let's sing happy birthday.
Ready?
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday.
God bless you.
Happy birthday to you.
All right.
I made it through the announcements.
Kind of.
I have one more.
One more.
Well, I just want to make sure that I got everything.
I know it's been long.
I'm sorry, you guys.
But I do have to say a couple things here.
I have to write notes to myself because I'm getting old.
All right.
So let's see.
I will need some help cleaning up afterwards.
If people are willing to do that, I really would appreciate it.
And then after everybody's eaten, all the food's put away.
I always try to stress this.
Please don't get all the food out again and start eating and making another mess.
Because they're not going to clean it again.
And if you're not going to clean it again, then I don't want you going in and eating again.
So make sure you're full.
And then whatever you want to take home and eat, that's fine.
But don't make another mess here.
Please.
Because, you know, one thing that's really frustrating, I know for people when they clean stuff,
is when they come back, it's just like all messed up again.
So please be respectful of that.
And I don't want to have to rebuke you in front of everybody and embarrass you.
Anyway, and also please just make sure to take your crock pots and dishes home with you.
And concerning the Detroit trip, I have the invites here.
And so if you're going on that trip, I'm just asking if you grab a brick of invites.
And I'll make sure to put those invites out where you can grab them.
We have 3,000.
So if you want Bibles to take with you, take some Bibles.
And whatever things you want to take on that trip, just take what you need for yourself.
And if you can take a little bit of extra, that'd be great too.
And then I wanted to give you an update on the trip to Belfast, Ireland.
Our church in the UK went and did a soul wanting trip and some preaching.
And they had 15 salvations in their soul wanting.
And then Brother Ian baptized four.
So the trip was really good.
And so praise God for that.
And also let's pray for them.
They're starting a, they call it a care home ministry.
But here we'd call it like a nursing home ministry or assisted living.
So they're starting that this week.
And I just wanted to mention that.
And our church in the UK, or not in the UK, but in Canada and Surrey, they've been running like 35 people.
Like they had 35 in one service and 34 in the other.
So that church is growing and they're having babies.
And so it's really being blessed right now.
So please continue to pray for them.
And then that's all I have for announcements.
I know it was long.
Oh, that's not all I have.
But wait, there's more.
I have certificates of baptism.
So we've been baptizing a lot of people around here.
So as I call your name, will you please just come up and grab your certificate of baptism.
The first one is Josh Tapp.
Josh Tapp and then Pamela Tapp.
So let's give them a hand.
Josh, congratulations.
And then Ms. Pam, congratulations.
All right.
And then I also have Stacy.
Stacy, are you here?
And Mark.
And Dima.
Yes, and Wong.
Yeah.
Is Wong here?
Oh, hey.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Vika, hey.
Vika, I didn't forget about you.
I was still reading it.
There's so many of them.
All right.
Here you go, Ms. Stacy.
All right, Mark.
Thank you.
Sweet.
Thank you.
Thank you, guys.
Congratulations.
All right.
Now I'm really done, I think.
Okay.
Yeah, I'm done.
All right.
Let's sing another song.
We'll receive you all.
All right.
Let's turn to page 33.
We're going to sing Christ the Lord is Risen Today.
page 33 in your Green Hymn books.
Christ the Lord is risen today.
Page 33 on the first.
Christ the Lord is risen today.
Hallelujah.
Sons of men
and angels say
Hallelujah.
Raise your joys and triumphs high
Hallelujah.
Sing ye heaven
and earth reply
Hallelujah.
Lives again our glorious King
Hallelujah.
Where O death

Hallelujah.
Dying once he
all does sing
Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.
Love's redeeming
work is done

Fought the fight the battle won
Hallelujah.

forbids him rise
Hallelujah.

come forward to receive our offering.
