Offering Envelopes help ensure recording accuracies and makes it easier for the Financial Secretary to keep records of giving. If you
are giving regularly to First Baptist Church and would like Offering Envelopes please circle “E”on your Information Card. If you already have Offering Envelopes but need more, you may also circle “E”. If you have requested offering envelopes recently, you may pick them up at the ushers table in the back of the sanctuary. 

Wednesday evening Ladies Bible Study will begin a new study, this week. Ladies are invited to join them for I Peter – A Living Hope In Christ, by Jen Wilkin. They meet at 6 PM in Room 230 (3rd floor).

The Yaddah Pearls have started a new study Mondays at 9am in the library. They are studying Max Lucado’s “Cast of Characters/Common People in the hands of an Uncommon God.” Biblical people who were “messed up” like us; God comes alongside of them, passing out moral compasses to all comers and takers. Join us! (NO homework to be done.)
