HOPE FOR THE HOLIDAYS - NOVEMBER 21
After the loss of a loved one, difficult emotions surface as we watch families, traditions, and joy all around. These traditions and the joy feel familiar, but now they come with a sense of loss and grief. We want to navigate those feelings with you at Hope for the Holidays on Thursday, November 21st at 11:00 a.m. in the CLC at First Baptist Church. There will be a special message by Pastor Jason and a lunch to follow. Please sign up by clicking the button below, or by calling the church office. Cost: $5
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD Our church is going to serve as a drop off location for Operation Christmas Child this fall. We will be receiving boxes from Sunday, November 17 through Monday, November 25. We hope you will go ahead and start collecting items for the boxes. Some of the most requested items are a washcloth, toothbrush, school supplies, socks, and a toy. You can either save them at home or bring them to church where we will store them until it is time to start packing the boxes in October.
