_________________________________________________ Member of the Month Bernice Morrell Bernice Morrell was recently added to our Honored Members List. On April 12th Bernice will celebrate her 70th year as a member of CIBC. This makes her the longest consistent member of our congregation. We asked her to tell our members more about herself. "I have three children-Marvin, Jr., Debbie and Kenny; five grandsons, one granddaughter, one step grandson and one step granddaughter, one deceased grandson, one great-granddaughter, one brother, nieces and quite a few cousins. My mother, grandmother and aunts always brought me to CIBC and I was baptized by Rev. Pieces when I was 12 years old. I attended Sunday School in the West Cape May Chapel as did most of the children living in West Cape May. During WWII I married Frank Smykowski, Jr. in the Churchs Chapel and lived in Oklahoma for about seven months when he was sent back to the South Pacific where he died. I met Marvin after the war when he returned from England. His folks had a grocer store in West Cape May. Rev. Pemberton married us in the church in 1947. Marvin was bpatized and joined the church in 1949 or 1950. During the time Rev. Pemberton was our Pastor he formed a men's club, The Fisherman's Club. They met for dinner monthly and I used to take my turn doing the dinners. I taught Sunday School in the Primary Department in the past and one of the people I remember was Miss Alice (Alice Wilke) who was the Superintendent for years. Also, for the Pastor before Pastor Spriggs, I typed the weekly bulletins. That was when they had to be mimeographed. Cape Island Baptist Church as always been and part of my life." Thank you Bernice for all your years of service to our Lord and your family and Cape Island Baptist Church.

On these busy days, would you want to bake Pies or cookies or even a cake?
You'd be surprised if you counted the cost Of materials, heat and time that is lost. Baking for sale is extra work Yet we know nobody wishes to shirk.
So we thought of a plan that's truly grand And we feel quite sure you'll understand. In this little envelope please put the price Of a pie or cake or something that's nice.
Without a fuss you've done your part. I'm sure you'll give with a willing heart. You don't even need to add a stamp And your gift helps send a child to camp!
It's almost time for our children to be going back to camp. Each summer our congregations helps families send their children to Camp Lebanon for a week of fun and spiritual fellowship. If you are able to contribute to the BAKELESS BAKE SALE, please do so and give a child an experience they will never forget. Thanks. _________________________________________________ Sunday School News The children of the Sunday School began a new study on Jesus In the Temple. This is a very exciting unit. They are currently building a scale model of the Temple in Jerusalem. They prepared some of the foods eaten during Passover and studied the meaning of each foot. If you are interested in helping with any of the Sunday School classes, (even if your don't want to teach) please see Sharon Spriggs. Volunteers are also needed to help with Children's Church during the Sunday Worship Service. _________________________________________________ Family Night Program March 17th will be our Family Night Program, March Movie Madness.
