Room In The Inn
Our next RITI date is January 23.
If you can help, please contact Joanne Prather.
The RITI room is in desperate need of toothbrushes, deodorant,
hats and gloves (the work gloves work great). Would anyone be
interested in donating their services such as hair, nails, dentist, etc.
Dentist will need to go through A.R.M.. Someone made the suggestion of having a devotion with the men. Anyone interested? It
could be one person or we could rotate. Thank you.

In February, the Homebound Ministry team will be making visits to
our shut-ins, we would like to include some “thinking of you cards”
from you our church family. If you can do some cards to any of
these shut-ins, please place cards in the bucket outside the library
between now and Wednesday Night, February 4th. You can do
cards to a specific person by writing their name on the envelope or
leave the envelope blank and those cards will be divided among all
these precious people. Thank you, dear Church Family, for your
wonderful support of this ministry. A special thank you to those
that step up and help each time we go visiting, especially the Deacons that are always willing to help.
In His Love, Ailene & Rita
Dear Pastor Sims & First Baptist Bemis,
In two weeks we will be joining our team in South Africa. We are
looking forward to seeing all the ministry opportunities God has
for us there. Thank you for your faithful support of our ministry.
We are able to do what we do because of people like you.
Thanks,
Andy, Carmelita, Ethan & Claire
Please thank your congregation for their prayers and their prayer
cards. God has heard their prayers and I am feeling better and on
my way to full recovery.
May God bless you,
Elzie Danley, Sr.
Thank you for the fruit and candy basket you sent to me for Christmas. I enjoyed it very much and it was thoughtful of the church to
think of me during the holidays.
Love to each one,
Pasty Massey
