This January we celebrate Rev. Matt Law’s 10th anniversary of service at our church. We are grateful for his faithfulness and the fruit of his ministry here at First Baptist. As a way to express our gratitude for his and Jennifer’s influence we will be hosting a church wide luncheon on Sunday, January 25, 2015, and this month we will be taking up a love offering on their behalf. Love offering envelopes are available in the pew racks and Welcome Station for your convenience. Let’s be generous as a way to show our gratefulness for their generous service to us and our youth!
