We are doing something different this time. In order to include as many families as possible, we would LOVE for you to submit your favorite family portrait or individual selfie. It would be great if we could have all our attenders in there, whether you have been coming here 6 months or 60+ years. Send photos to email@danvillefirstbaptist.org or text them to Rachel @ (570) 850-2208 by Sept 24th. Along with your photo, please send any updated information you would like included in the directory.
Need help? Call the office at (570) 275-1511 and we will set up a time for you to come in and have your picture taken.
