The Mountain Movers of First Baptist Nashville will make their annual fishing trip to the Tellico River in east Tennessee on May 12 –14. We’ll leave the church parking lot at 6:30 a.m. and return Saturday evening. The cost will be less than $200 per person for cabins, food, gas and licenses. We will stay in Tellico Plains at the Mountain View Cabins. Fishing will be on the Tellico, Bald and North river systems for native and stocked trout. We will prepare our meals—breakfast in the cabins, trail lunches and grilled dinners. Bring a lunch for the first day. Fishing can be by fly rod or spinning equipment. Portions of the stream are limited to single hooks. You do not need prior experience or equipment. Waders and rods are available if you need them. Fly-casting instruction will be available in the gym prior to the trip. Wilburn Honeycutt will assist those needing further instruction on the stream. It is a beautiful area in the Cherokee National Forest. There are many hiking trails if you are not a fisherman.
Please contact Wilburn Honeycutt at 584.0473 or swh@honeycuttengineering.com if you plan to attend, as cabin space is limited.

Sing them over again to me,
Wonderful words of life...
This familiar hymn text sums up the goal of learning in the Children’s Music Ministry this year. In this year of emphasis on the Bible at First Baptist Nashville, our children have been learning songs based on the Scriptures. Plan to join us to hear them sing these “Wonderful Words of Life” in the year-end celebration program on Sunday, May 15, at 6:00 p.m. in the Sanctuary.
You have an opportunity to encourage the high school seniors as they reach this milestone into adulthood. Blank cards and envelopes are available in the Foyer and may be placed in the mailbox provided for your convenience. These note cards offer a way to share memories, appreciation, encouragement, a favorite Bible verse, or a promise to remember them in prayer. We will collect cards through Wednesday, May 18. Please take the time to show you care and fill out a card! We will recognize our graduating seniors during worship on Sunday, May 22.
