With coronavirus still spreading around church has been pretty lonely. We've been pre-recording the sermons and posting them on Facebook for everyone to watch at home.  The other day I was watching a short video with Brady Shearer or Pro Church Tools and got a great idea. We could meet for Easter but not be near one another. Huh?

On Easter Sunday, April 12, 2020, we will be hosting a Drive In Easter Service at Pima Street Baptist Church!  Everyone can come a little early to get a good parking spot and we will sing, pray and smile while enjoying being "together." Pastor Randy will bring a special sermon for Easter and everyone will  be kept safe from coronavirus! Check our Facebook page for more information:  https://www.facebook.com/PimaStreetBaptistChurch/?eid=ARCfumV-OD3B8Mu6s88WukOPWcUuaKr66FsX0iBfLXYN6VY_3OpBYGd-XaCkua7Ns5VdBiEqgDeM-sb-

Many people think it might be the end of the world. In Revelation it describes things that will happen in the end times and this Coronavirus sure seems like a plague!  Pastor Randy is teaching about the Book of Revelation every Sunday morning.  Come see what it really says and whether it might be the end of the world!

We are all experiencing some stress right now but there's hope! While the numbers are going up fast right now, we need to remember there are more tests available so there will be people with very mild cases diagnosed now. That will raise the numbers without there really being any additional cases!  Pima Street Baptist Church will continue to meet every Sunday at 10:45 a.m. as long as it's considered safe. We will also share hope and help in every way we can!

Pima Street Baptist Church - A Place to Belong!

This week was my birthday!  We had Marie Calendar's Chocolate pies instead of cake and ice cream - YUM!  I'm 55 now and excited to find all the senior discounts that are allowed at 55.  I know Goodwill gives a 20% discount at 55 and as I find more places, I'll post them.  If you know of some, leave a comment and I'll check them out!

My family knows I love to craft so I recieved a heat press, a special lamp with a magnifying glass built in and a new paper cutter. Tonight we talked about my starting a t shirt business!  I'll post more about that when I get the details worked out.  

Although I have children adopted through the foster care system, I have learned a lot about the other side of foster/adoption since those adoptions.  The majority of parents who lose their children are never prosecuted for abuse.  Why, you ask?  Because they did not abuse their children.  Some neighbor or relative decided they were not raising the child the way they would do it and called CPS to accuse the parents of "neglect."  The majority of parents are not doing drugs (or could be helped to get clean) and are not punching or kicking their kids or starving them. They simply chose to raise their child in a different way than their neighbor.  CPS will find a way to make a case if someone calls.  They will make sure that child is placed with total strangers, destroying that child's psychological safety forever.

I am now very interested in changing "the system" to a system where children are kept with their parents if at all possible (which is most of the time) and if not, extended family should care for them.  Placing children with strangers, especially if it is forced adoption, is wrong and needs to be stopped.  Check back soon for more information.

Last week I decided to completely redesign my website and blog.   It's been fun!  I found Weebly and it's really easy to use.  Most of it is drag and drop.  I used Pixabay for the images, which is a free image site and you don't even have to sign up.  Check them out!
