Go Ye…Back to School!

Last Sunday, we enjoyed a good day in worship as we welcomed many guests to our services and new members to our fellowship. For me, it was great to be home sharing in worship with our church family, and to be leading in worship with our staff, our worship team, and our choir and orchestra. I consider it a God-given privilege to serve alongside you during these exciting days at First Baptist.

August is here and many of our students have begun, or will soon begin their fall semester. This Sunday during our services of worship we will recognize students and teachers of all ages as we share in a prayer of dedication for the coming school year.

During the excitement of the “back to school” season, we look forward to hosting in a Family Night and Fish Fry next Wednesday evening August 9 beginning at 5 o’clock. What a great opportunity to bring the entire family and to invite new friends as we share an evening meal and participate in both indoor and outdoor games at the Christian Activities Center. Parents and children will have an opportunity to register for AWANA and sign up for Children’s Choirs. You may want to bring your camera and take a photo of the CAC prior to renovation.

Our first August concert, scheduled for Sunday evening at six o’clock, features the “Go Ye Choir and Orchestra” which recently shared seven concerts in 11 days in Prague, Vienna, and Salzburg on our International Music Mission Trip. The diverse selections for the concert include hymn arrangements and spirituals, and compositions by Mozart and by Michael W. Smith.

Invite a neighbor to join you as we gather for worship and Bible study this Sunday.
