From From From the the Associate Associate Pastor<br />
Pastor<br />
We had a bit of excitement this past Sunday, shortly after 11:00 a.m. A<br />
high pressure line on a second floor air conditioning unit ruptured, venting Freon<br />
and setting off the fire alarm. The education buildings were evacuated as a<br />
precaution and the fire department responded. Thankfully, the amount of Freon<br />
did not reach dangerous levels (Freon displaces oxygen) and there were no<br />
injuries or damage. From this experience, we learned some valuable lessons.<br />
Let me share with you some important reminders:<br />
♦ If the fire alarm goes off, EVACUATE THE BUILDING IMMEDIATELY<br />
IMMEDIATELY.<br />
IMMEDIATELY<br />
Do not assume it is a false alarm. You will be notified when and if it is safe to<br />
go back inside.<br />
♦ When outside, get at least 100 feet away away from the building building. building<br />
This is for your safety and to allow first<br />
responders unfettered access to the buildings.<br />
♦ Parents Parents do do do not not go go through through the the the buildings buildings seeking seeking your your children children. children children Our preschool and children’s workers<br />
will take the children outside to a safe area – they have been trained to do this. If the all-clear is<br />
given, they will return to their classrooms. If you must seek them out, do it from outside the building<br />
but do not take your child without letting the teacher know.<br />
♦ Do Do not not waste waste time time gathering coats, Bibles, etc. You can get them later.<br />
♦ If possible, use use the stairwells rather rather than the elevators elevators. elevators<br />
Remember, we have multiple stairwells,<br />
(two within each section between fire doors) so there is no need for everyone to crowd into one<br />
stairwell. Be sure to help help those who have have mobility limitations limitations. limitations<br />
I appreciate how our Sunday School leaders and deacons stepped up and assisted this past<br />
Sunday. Some had to firmly “encourage” people to evacuate. Please don’t be offended, they have your<br />
safety in mind. Yes, we have some improvements to make and we will do so; but with over a thousand<br />
people on campus at any given hour on Sunday mornings, your cooperation is imperative. I am pleased<br />
that folks remained calm and did clear the building when directed to do so. And yes, we will have the<br />
affected AC unit fixed this week.<br />

Summer is here... busy, busy, busy! Lord, just help us to be busy at the best<br />
things. In my article last week I suggested what we would call intentional<br />
change. I received several positive responses, so I know at least some people<br />
read the article. This week I am going to encourage you to go back and read an article<br />
in the <strong>May</strong> 23 Alabama Alabama <strong>Baptist</strong> <strong>Baptist</strong> titled The <strong>Church</strong>’s Waistline by Grace<br />
Thorton. The article, in my opinion, took courage to address a much needed<br />
subject. Our choices everyday effect our lives long-term and that is surely true in how we eat. “Whatever<br />
the key reason, <strong>Baptist</strong>s are the heaviest group with a <strong>30</strong> percent obesity rate….”, stated this article. We<br />
do have opportunities at Fit for Life ( Co-ed exercise) Monday & Thursday 9:<strong>30</strong> -10:<strong>30</strong> am in the Chapel,<br />
and Fun and Fitness Tuesday & Thursday at 7:<strong>30</strong> am room 104. What is best for us is not necessarily<br />
the sweetest to the tongue, but the best for my waistline. This summer let us be busy making the best<br />
choices.<br />
