ROYAL FAMILY KIDS’ CAMP:  Today’s the day! We know there are several of you who would like to help out with Royal Family Kids’ Camp but can’t come for the entire week. At the same time, there are many one-time things during camp week with which we need help. So, out in the Narthex today you will find several sign-ups for specific jobs during camp week. Please look them over and see if there is something you can do to help us make camp run more smoothly. We very much appreciate any and all help!

COME WATCH US PLAY AND/OR JOIN THE TEAM!! Bath Church co-ed softball team will NOT play today but you can check out our audio play by play recap of our games at http://www.bathucc.org/special_events.htm.

THE YMI GUYS played back to back games on Sunday evening May 4th and ended the evening with a decisive win and a hard fought loss to the Tower of Power.  (Zydrunas) Saiben with Abe (LeBron) showed the crowd their best teamwork so far as Branson (Gibson) fired off amazing passes.  Damon (Big Ben) demonstrated that its not all about the scoring as Adrian (Delonte) was unstoppable from the outside.  Coming off the bench for support were (Anderson) Lamb adding to the score and drawing his share of fouls along with Anthony Amp (Smith) returning to the line-up with his powerful intensity and focus.  The YMI guys are off next weekend to celebrate Mother's Day and will keep you posted on their Play-off action. Led by head coach Steve Domchick and general manager Janie Bechtel, they finished their regular season with a 4-2 record.  THANK YOU BATH CHURCH for supporting the team at the pancake breakfast and also through candy bar sales.  The positive comments from all of you to our Young Men's Initiative players are greatly appreciated.  Carter, Abe, Adrian, Andy, Anthony, Damon and Branson.
