In a few short weeks, the Chi Rho Youth Choir will depart Cookeville for New Orleans, Louisiana for its annual summer tour (May 31 – June 6), a week filled

with ministering to people from many different walks of life through music. The choir is scheduled to sing at Metairie Baptist Church, Williams Boulevard Baptist Church, East Jefferson General Hospital, Southeast Louisiana War Veterans Home, The Esplanade shopping center, venues near the French Quarter, Poydras Home and Colonial Living Center, Lindy’s Place (housing for women in transition), and the New Orleans Mission. The youth will also enjoy a jazz brunch cruise on the Steamboat Natchez. The choir is currently enlisting prayer partners for the trip so that each adult and youth has at least one person praying for them throughout the duration of the trip. Prayer partners are invited to attend the preview concert and informational meeting to be held

on Thursday, May 29 at 6:00 p.m. in the sanctuary. An itinerary of the tour will be given at this meeting. If the Lord is leading you to partner with the choir in prayer for the tour, contact Todd or Bobbie via email (tarnold@fbccookeville.org or bgist@fbccookeville.org) or by calling the church office (526-7108). We are praying for “God-appointments” for ministry, salvations, spiritual growth in our own lives, and safe travels.

The choir also sings locally, having just sung at the Cookeville Rescue Mission on May 7. The choir will sing in the Home Concert in worship on Sunday, June 8 at 6:00 p.m. in the sanctuary. In addition, T.J. Timmerman recently represented the choir at the Tennessee Baptist Men’s Chorale (TMC) and Women’s Chorus (TLC) concert at Grace Baptist Church in Tullahoma, TN on May 2. T.J. was selected to sing a solo on Washed Away at the annual Youth Project held in Dandridge, TN in January, where just under 300 youth gathered for a weekend of singing, worship, and fellowship. He was then invited to sing along with two other soloists from Youth Project at the TMC/TLC concert. Both he and A.J. Cochrane have also sung solos in Washed Away at FBC Cookeville during the Maundy Thursday service and at the Cookeville Rescue Mission on May 7. The song speaks of Christ interceding for each of us for the forgiveness of our sins and celebrates the love poured out for us on the cross. The choir is committed to reaching people for Christ, singing songs of our faith in Christ that others would be called into fellowship with Him.

Throughout the month of April, First Baptist Church provided snacks for and packed backpacks for students at Parkview Elementary School. Individuals from First

Baptist and mission groups like the Royal Ambassadors packed 130 backpacks each week in April. Thanks to generous individuals in the church we had plenty of snacks for the backpacks. These backpacks help feed students in need on the weekends. Each Friday the children take home a sack in

their backpacks with two pop top meals, two cereals, two juices, two milks, two fruits and two snacks.
