From the Pastor: In the
morning services, we reviewed, made corrections and
approved nominations for the new church year.
The Nominating Committee has done an excellent job collecting these
officers and teachers. We ask you to
support them with your presence and prayers in the coming days. The four deacons elected to the Deacon
Council were Kevin Cheek, Tom Garren, Joel Hardison, and Randy Hurley. Our afternoon
picnic was well attended and provided not only good fellowship
but some great hamburgers and hotdogs (not to mention desserts). The weather was warm yet just what we expect
for a picnic. A special thanks to the
Hosts Committee and the cooking crew.
Rebecca Smith’s presentation of her mission trip was a perfect way to
end the day. Our revival
services are “just around the corner.” We have seven services planned, two of which
will have a contemporary emphasis. Rev.
Danny Hosler will speak at 8:45am Sunday, September 26, and Wednesday at 7pm on
Sep. 29. Rev. Kenneth Tucker will speak
at the other five services, beginning Sunday morning at 11:00am and going
through Thursday. All of the evening services are at 7pm. Pray for God’s special outpouring. We welcome
new member Kendall Lambeth (daughter of Crystal
and Chad Lambeth) into our membership.
She joined in the 8:45am service.
May God continue to add as He desires. ANNOUNCEMENTS - If there is anyone that would like to sign up to do a children’s sermon in the early or late
service, please contact Donna Smith at 318-1245. - It is time to begin collecting candy for our annual Trunk-or-Treat event in October. A box will
be located under the foyer table to place your items. - GA’s will soon be going back to visit the
nursing home and are asking for help donating bingo prizes for the
patients. A box for the prizes is in the
foyer hallway beside the table. WOMEN’S BIBLE
STUDY Jonah Navigating a Life Interrupted By: Priscilla Shirer Begins 10/3/10 – 11/14/10 (7 weeks) Time:
5:15 – 6:45 p.m. Cost:
$12.00 Interruptions. They
come in all sizes and shapes, all colors and shades, good and bad. Though we wish to avoid them, every season of
life seems to include a few – sometimes on either end of the same day. As we are coming up for air from the
devastation of one, a fresh and exciting interruption takes our breath away,
challenging us with new responsibilities, leaving us feeling inadequate and
outmatched. Sometimes they make us
wonder if God even cares. So, welcome to Jonah.
He knows how a life interrupted feels, and he’s got a firsthand account
of how yielding to God is the best decision after all. Come join Priscilla Shirer won’t you? We will have a “whale” of a time. A sign-up sheet is available on the Welcome
Center. For more information, call Pat
Blake at 629-0117. LADIES NIGHT OUT First Baptist Church Thursday, October 14 5:30 p.m. “House of Hope” Speaker: Sara
