Buckets of Hope for Haiti

Written by Greg Schuck

Wednesday, 03 March 2010

Fox 7 News did a live interview with the Pastor of First Baptist Church of Pflugerville promoting "Buckets of Hope" for Haiti.

This is a project that asks people to purchase a 5-gallon bucket with a lid and a handle, a specific list of items to put in the bucket, with a specific method of placing those items in the bucket. You then tape an envelope with a $10 bill to the lid of the bucket (to cover shipping costs) and deliver it to First Baptist Church. It is that simple.

You can see the interview at the link below.

Have you told someone you know about the project?

Send them the video link and this link for information about the project. http://www.fbcpville.org/Haiti.htm

Have you put your bucket together? Do it soon. Collection deadline is Sunday March 14 by 7:00 PM at First Baptist Church of Pflugerville.

District E-mail Lists

Written by Greg Schuck
Wednesday, 06 January 2010
With the new year comes new and changing responsibilities. If you have experienced a change in your role or level of participation with the District, it is likely that your inclusion in one or more of the District e-mail lists should also change; you may be on a list now that you no longer need to be, or there is a list that you need to be added to. Getting these changes made can be done quickly and easily by simply sending an e-mail or two.
