Sunday
The Friends In Deed food pantry item for this week is canned fruit.
The Deacon Board have been hard at work, and want to share some of their updates with y’all. You can read more here.
For the four Sundays of Advent, we will open the Chapel from 9am to 10am for quiet prayer. You are invited to spend time reflecting and praying, on your own or with one of our prayer team members.
Continuing TODAY, after service, you can sign up for a child's name and pick up gift information at the Connections Desk to participate in the Friends In Deed Christmas for the Kids gift drive. Unwrapped gifts should be dropped off at the church no later than Sunday, December 14th, and they should include the child's name and family number. Talk to Shawn with any questions.
Monday noon Bible Study in the Parlor is rolling along, and all are invited. We’ll dive into our advent study through Isaiah 40 across December. Bring your lunch, a paper bible, and your questions for Pastors John Jay and Riley.
Parents, mark your calendars for THIS Sunday, December 7, for our monthly park hangout! After service, grab some take-out (or bring a picnic from home) and meet with other families in the park. We will be hanging out from 12:15 to 1:30pm.
Parents’ Night Out is coming up next Friday, December 12! Parents can drop off their kids ages 2 - 14 from 6-9pm in the Nursery. We’ll have some snacks, light dinner, and games for the kids, and parents will get to shop, have dinner in Old Town, or just have quiet time at home. Let Pastor Andrew know if you plan to take advantage of this great opportunity! You can email Andrew here.
Save the date–Sunday, December 14th at 6pm, for our 82nd Annual Candlelight Carol Service. This moving celebration of the Advent season is a favorite event here at First Baptist. If you’re able, please plan to bring your favorite cookies to share at our cookie and hot cider reception after the service. And invite a friend or two. We made some pivots and new additions this year, and are excited to share it all with you.
