Smile and Get Ready to ROC!

Smile when you have your portrait made for our new Church Directory. Pictorial albums promote fellowship, provide resourceful information, and preserve an important segment of church history. We want every participant in our First Baptist Family to be included in our new directory.

In recent weeks the ROC has been at a standstill as our contractors and architects have been busy with permitting and re-pricing. As many of us have anticipated, with rising cost of materials, our budget for the Paul Royal Recreation and Outreach Center will need to be increased significantly. In our next church conference on Wednesday January 31, we will hear the most recent numbers as we have an opportunity to consider a new budget. Once a new budget is affirmed, the construction phase is ready to begin.

In the next few weeks, you should be contacted by your new family deacon. According to Kemp Wilson, our new Deacon Family Ministry coordinator, 80% of our deacons have just received their new assignments for 2007 and the remainder of our deacons will receive their assignments during the next couple of weeks. Among many other ministries, your family deacon will be praying for you.

We encourage all members of committees and ministry teams to participate in our Leadership Workshop which is scheduled for this Sunday January 28 at 5 o’clock in Chipley Hall. Our workshop will provide an orientation to committee structures and assignments for 2007.

Our Winter Bible Study, Rediscovering the Revelation, continues this Sunday as we focus on “7th Heaven” as described in Revelation 21. On Sunday evening at six o’clock we will meet in the sanctuary for Bible study and baptism.

Invite a friend or neighbor to join you this Sunday.
