The next men’s breakfast meeting will be held this Saturday (April 16) at 8 a.m. at the Emo Legion.
The featured speaker will be Mark Mast of Rainy River, whose message will be about life’s most embarrassing moments.

Mast has experienced more than his share of embarrassing moment, including one particular moment that changed his life forever.
It also will be Spring Fever Days in Emo so begin the day with a hearty breakfast buffet for only $10 and enjoy an inspirational talk.

Calvary Baptist Church is inviting everyone to attend a special evening of prayer this Friday (April 15) from 7:30-8:30 p.m.
With the federal election scheduled for Monday, May 2, the church felt it would be a great time to follow the Bible’s command to put what we are learning into action and pray for “kings and all who are in high positions” (1 Timothy 2:2).
The evening will be part of a larger program called “40 Days of Prayer” event, which began March 27 and runs until May 5.
