June 14, 2010... Training Materials

Greetings and salutations on this dreary Monday morning. I hope that it clears up a little.

PERSONAL NOTE: I want to thanks all of the young people who helped us on Sunday. Thanks, David Briggs, Debi Scott, Alexis Flenniken, Elizabeth Warner, Ryan Briggs, Megan Flickinger, Abie Briggs... boy, I hope that I didn't miss anyone (if I did, let me know).

Congratulations to all of the graduates listed in the bulletin. A job well done! Thank you to the King's Kids and Savior Singers for your music. Thank you Elizabeth Warner for your special music. Thank you Sue Warner for your guidance with the young people, Sunday.

REMINDER: Get ready for VBS... "High Seas Expedition" on June 21 - 25. It looks like it will be a great time!

Plan now on who you are going to bring to the June 27, 2010 summer concert here at First Baptist Church. We will have the group, formerly know as "RECONCILED" (there will be a name change) here at 4 pm. Please, take advantage of the opportunity to bring a guest with you so that they can hear the Gospel in song and find out more about us as a Church. It is all about outreach!

YOU CAN KNOW THE WILL OF GOD: In I Corinthians 15: 58 it says "... always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord." This verse does not teach that we must be "witnessing" for the Lord 24 hours a day. What it teaches is that we should be in a frame of mind whereby we go at our work for the Lord with real vigor... because we know that our service is not in vain.
