Prayer Time A special time of prayer in regard to the calling of a new pastor will be held each Sunday evening beginning Nov.1.  We will meet at 5:45pm, just prior to the evening service.  Everyone is encouraged to come together in one accord regarding this important matter. Thanks-for-Giving-Dinner We will have a special Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday, November 22nd at 5pm to especially thank Pastor and Carol for their service to First Baptist Church.  Bring your favorite Thanksgiving foods to go with the turkey provided.  Also, be prepared to share blessings during testimony time.  Food Shower We will again be accepting non-perishable food items to be distributed in December to a family or families in need of a little assistance and encouragement.  Please bring your donations to church beginning November 18 and ending on November 29.   Did you know.....??  There was a very personal and poignant quarterly business meeting last month?  If you weren't there, you missed hearing an intimate, unassuming, firsthand account of life with a disability in a church that is not handicapped-accessible.  This is a very personal issue and one that, if you have no physical handicaps, may escape your attention.  Please be in prayer for the leadership of our church as they contemplate and attempt to carry out the best options possible to make coming to church a pleasant and physically comfortable experience for everyone. "But whosoever has this world's good, and sees his brother have need, and shuts up his compassions from him, how dwells the love of God in him?"
