Announcements

1. FBC’s Volunteer Information Link is now up! You can now go to the front page of the church’s website, www.tulsafbc.org, and follow the Volunteer link to submit a request for information concerning areas in which you are interested in volunteering.
2. This Sunday, March 20, the second session of the Pastor-led First Glance Class will be held, 9:45 to 10:45 a.m., in the Church Parlor.
3. The Singing ChurchWomen of Oklahoma will present a concert on Tuesday, March 22, 7:00 p.m., at Woodland Acres Baptist Church in Tulsa. The SCW, now in their 22nd year, will be presenting music that “Tells the Story of Jesus”. The concert includes traditional and contemporary anthem arrangements, as well as dramatic scripture readings, that emphasize the gospel story. There is no admission charge.
4. A Called Business Meeting will be held on Sunday, March 27, at 7:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall. There will be two purposes for this called meeting:
a) consider calling Bryan Intemann to a combination Minister of Missions & Campus Pastor position; and
b) consider scholarships for several students attending Oklahoma Baptist University.
5. CenterCross Church has been in the planning stages for months and now you are being invited to help put these plans in motion. The first area where help is needed is in door-to-door canvassing. The purpose of the canvassing is to get the word out about the opening of CenterCross and to invite residents to the Open House Easter Egg Hunt for games, fun, giveaways, food and tours of the church. Detailed flyers, for you to hand out, have already been made. The plan is to knock on doors in the neighborhoods surrounding CenterCross en masse and introduce ourselves. This is a great time to say hello, smile and hand them a flyer, and invite them over. Then, there are two ways you can help canvass. Participate in: 1) the 10 day blitz, spread over the ten days prior to Easter and/or 2) two Saturdays in April (the 2nd & 9th), where you can help with either a morning or an afternoon shift. The second need is for volunteers to help in the service at CenterCross during Saturday evening church, with the exception of our opening service on Easter morning. Volunteers are still needed in several areas for a minimum of 6 months (or more as needed). Please consider being at an informational meeting that will be held on Sunday, March 27. If you are interested, please sign up in LIFE Groups or at the CenterCross tables, On Sunday, March 20 only, in the Detroit Lobby.
6. Scholarships Available! Going to OBU this fall? FBC members can qualify for scholarships. Baptist Seminary students preparing for the mission field may also qualify. Scholarships are offered through the Women’s Missionary Union. Please contact the Church Office, 918-581-1571, for more information.
