Upcoming Events & News at First Baptist

 

"Touch Cards" Are Here!
We have designed and printed a small, business card-sized tool for you to use to invite people to Sunday School (Small Groups) and Worship! It has all the information on times and location of our church. There is also a "white" space on the back that can be used to write down any other information you might want to share. Initial distribution of the cards will be through Adult Sunday School Departments. Touch Cards will also be available in the Church Office. Stick a few in your wallet or purse and use to invite someone to church!

Date Set For Kickoff Sunday

Sunday, August 22 has been set as the official start of the 2010-11 Sunday School year. It’s going to be an exciting and productive year in Bible study ministry at First Baptist Church! A strategic time of preparation for the new year is planned for all Sunday School leadership prior to the kickoff. On Wednesday evening, August 11 at 6:00 pm, all our Sunday School Faculty will meet together for an “official” presentation and interpretation of our theme for the new year. Hmmmm? Then, on the following Sunday, August 15, we will gather in age divisions for some “nuts and bolts” training and planning from 4:00 pm to 5:45 pm. At 6:00pm the entire faculty combined with our church family will convene in the Gym for an evening of food and fun activities in a Sunday School Rally! Mark your calendars!

Special Thank You's

Dear Church Family, we are so blessed to be a part of such a loving and caring church. Thank you for all your prayer, visits, cards and delicious food. We praise the Lord for sparing Murray and ask that you continue to keep us in your prayer for his full recovery.
– Love In Christ Murray & Nancy Pardue

Dear Church Family,your prayers, cards, e-mails, phone calls, hugs and words of encouragement have been overwhelming. We have had such peace through the comfort of His Saints and His spirit. My Mom was such a Saint as you have been to me. She is Home...
May God bless you all –Love, Karen Power

Going On Vacation?
Sure you are! And many more of our church are family, too, including Children’s Sunday School leaders. Would you be willing to be a substitute teacher one or more Sundays over the summer while a Children’s Sunday School worker is away on vacation? It would be a great ministry to our faculty, our children and a blessing for you! Please contact Mrs. Traci Wire, Children’s Division Director at 407-975-0801 or traciw@remponline.com. Thank you!
Leaving For The Summer
If you will be leaving the area for the summer months and would like to receive the bulletin and/or Wednesday night prayer sheet, please e-mail Joy Dever at jdever@fbcwp.org with your summer address, summer phone number and the dates you will be away.
