Please send to [email protected] or call 781-485-0588 Black Cyan Magenta Yellow First Baptist Church News and Notes Jesus said that the gates of hell would not prevail against His church. He wasn't speaking about a particular church or denomination. He was speaking about the body of believers, those who have committed their lives to Him. What did He mean when He said that the gates of hell would not prevail against us? What were some of the responsibilities that He gave us? Are we being faithful to the things that He entrusted to us? I will attempt to answer these and other questions about the church of the Lord Jesus Christ this Sunday morning at 10:30. Please join with us. God bless you! As Christians we believe that Jesus (which means Savior) and Christ (which means Messiah) and that he is the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings. He holds a special place in the hearts of Christians because of all that he has done for us. He is our Lord, Savior, healer, deliverer—He is everything to us. We invite you to join with us at 10:30 Sunday morning as we worship our Lord and Savior. May the Lord's richest blessings be yours during this wonderful time of the year and throughout the new year. “WISE MEN STILL SEEK HIM” Pastor Larry Russi 781-640-5384 First Baptist Church 50 Church St. Everett, MA Sunday service 10:30 am Sunday evening service 6:00 pm Thursday evening service 7:00 pm E-Mail: ljrussi@gmail. com Pastor Russi's Facebook page: larry/[email protected] Pastor Russi's Twitter: twitter.com/cleanslate789 Pastor Russi's Blog: restoreandencourage.blogspot.com Church Facebook Page: facebook.com/firstbaptisteverett Glendale Christian Lighthouse Church News and Notes Greetings to all!!!

Glendale Christian Lighthouse Church Pastor Bob MacDonald 701 Broadway (Glendale Square) Everett, MA 02149 617-387-7458 Freedom In Christ Gospel Outreach News and Notes Greetings from the desk of Pastor Larry at Freedom In Christ. How is your prayer life doing a midst the busyness of your day? Would you like more time to pray? Would you like an opportunity to pray with others? The bible all throughout both the old and new testaments, speaks to us about the importance of prayer not just in times of need but all throughout our daily lives. God wants to spend time with us and He wants us to want to spend time with Him. Freedom In Christ has an opportunity for those that want to have more prayer time beyond their own daily quiet time with God. Our Tuesday night prayer service is open to all that want to pray together We believe that God is calling His people to earnest, desperate, bold and persistent prayer not limited just to our own needs but also for His people, our city of Everett and our country. Prayer is what God calls us to do for the ups and downs of life because that is what will bring us closer to Him. In the good times we should praise Him for His blessings and in hard times we should draw close to Him because we need Him. For many of us though when things are going well we forget about God and when things are difficult we blame Him for the circumstances. It all depends on our outlook. Believe me God wants to be close to you. The bible says draw near to God, and God will draw near to you. If you want to know more about God and how prayer can affect your life, your first step, if you haven’t already done so is to give your heart to God’s one and only son, Jesus Christ. Jesus is ever there knocking on the door of our hearts wanting to come into our life, all we have to do is open the door and say Jesus come into my life. If you are regularly gathering with other believers at a meeting house or church building where the Gospel of Jesus Christ is preached, Praise the Lord! If you are not though let me extend an invitation to join us here at Freedom In Christ for any of our services or consider attending another Bible believing, bible preaching church and see what you may be missing. Our services are: Sunday School at 10:00 am Sunday Worship at 11:00 am Tuesday Prayer Meeting at 7:00 pm Wednesday Bible Study at 6:00 pm Thursday Revival Service at 7:00 pm If you want to join a Saturday outreach give us a call to find out time and meeting location! If you want to find out more about Jesus feel free to give a call anytime at 617-319-2449.
