HISTORIC MOMENT FOR FLORIDA CBF
Last Friday and Saturday, the Representative Assembly of Florida CBF made historical decisions. On Friday afternoon the RA decided to expand the number of districts that we currently have from five to a sixth district: the Caribbean islands.

Many of you already know of our partnerships that exist in the Bahamas, Puerto Rico, and Cuba. But, did you know that nine congregations in the Caribbean are now contributing financially to CBF Florida? These seven congregations in the Bahamas and two in Puerto Rico have hungered for friendships and relationships with like-minded Baptists. It was an awesome moment when the RA unanimously and enthusiastically recommended and welcomed the formation of this new district.
Ray Johnson, Coordinator
Editors Note: Dr. Mulkey has discussed with the Missions Committee a possible New Hope mission trip to the Bahamas in summer 2011.

CARD MINISTRY
Two New Hope couples, Dan & Paula Seebold and Bill & Donna Walker, are launching a ministry of sending notes expressing care to someone in a crisis. New Hope members and visitors may leave the names and addresses of people who are going through a difficult time, such as an accident, health crisis, feelings of loneliness or relational breakdown. Cards will be placed in the chair pockets in the sanctuary and on a table next to a box labeled “Share God’s Love” for this purpose. The Seebolds and the Walkers will send hand-made cards to people who are identified by church members. The cards will let them know of God's care and New Hope's care for them.
