Dillard Class will again lead the way in
Adult Ministries Leadership night Aug. 25
First meeting of our new class officers will again for training and planning will again be held as part of the Adult Ministries Leadership Night. The meal is free, but we need to sign a reservation sheet that will be in our class on Sunday. Food service will begin at 6:15 p.m. The "Renovation" theme — Restore, Renew, Revive — will be prominent in the opening program after the meal. Many of you remember the high inspirational moments we experienced during the presentation by Candy Smith, who will again be in charge. All class officers and team leaders and members will then retire to a section of our classroom, as we did last year, to do some important planning and praying for next year.

Just ran across this, haven't tested it, but it brings instant goosebumps. I just could be one of the greatest shortcuts from the "itch you can't quite scratch" stage to the "Eureka!" stage. Be glad to discuss it with others who might be as hungry as I to develop creativity skills. - DillardClass

Class Christmas 2005
- Dillard Class Christmas Party, Dec. 2, 2005, in Fellowship Hall, First Baptist Church of Richardson, TX.
Group 1 spells fun
- Group 1, our largest of eight care groups, includes most of the singles, widows, and widowers in our class. They meet monthly for a pot luck supper and annually invite the teacher and outgoing director and spouses to an appreciation dinner.
Lunch Bunch
- Sunday lunches after worship began as a thoughtful gesture by members Ed and Bess Moore. It was an attempt to introduce some of our newer members, many of whom had been in his class when he taught at Prestonwood Baptist, to some of the "regulars" in our class. It started out with just a table full. Now we will usually have one to two dozen at Luby's. Recently, a few who craved more variety, have started posting options for the Sunday Lunch Bunch. It remains a great way to integrate new members in our growing fellowship.
Meal Ministry
- The Dillard Class has always shown care for members during times of bereavement and illness by bringing in home-cooked meals during the times they needed it most. In 2005, Marah Dillard became home-bound during her 13-year bout with chronic bronchiactasis. Marah had been class secretary as long as Doug has taught the class. She missed Sunday School terribly, and missed her Friday "date nights" when Doug always took her out. Under the direction of our Inreach Team, class members started bringing meals each Friday and spending a few minutes cheering her up and feeling connected once again. Marah went home to the Lord at 2:40 PM Sunday, May 28, 2006.
