The First Baptist Mission
Loving Jesus, Loving Others, Helping Others Love Jesus.
Words from Pastor Chris…
Do you sense it? Can you feel it? I am not talking about “summer”, though summer is just around
the corner! I am talking about momentum. I have heard from a number of people who feel the
momentum of ministry rising in our faith family. Some are discovering their spiritual gifts for the
first time. Others are learning that their “passions” are for a purpose. Our young adult ministry is
growing. (Just stop by the nursery on a Sunday morning and you can see for yourself.) Our worship
ministry team is growing. I could go on and on, but for the sake of time, let me simply say God is up
to great things in our faith family. My question for you is “are you a part of what God is doing?” Our
greatest desire is that we ALL take the next step in our faith journey.
Sunday School and worship for the remainder of May have been prayerfully designed to help each
of us discover our part in the body of Christ. You were SHAPEd for serving the King and we want to
help you discover how to live this out within our faith family and the world. Please make every effort
to be in attendance each week.
May is filled with a number of special opportunities: Volunteer Appreciation Night, Ladies Spring
Brunch, Mother’s Day, Men’s Campout, Graduate Recognition and AWANA Year-end Celebration.
June is just as promising with the following: Serve Sunday, Father’s Day, Worship Arts Camp and
Student Camp. We will also begin a summer-long worship emphasis in June called “Summer in the
Psalms.”
Vacation Bible School will be different this year as we will conduct VBS on the five Wednesday
evenings of July. Please sign up now to volunteer for as many Wednesday nights as possible.
More details are coming soon for each of the ministry opportunities, so prayerfully consider your
part.
I am proud to serve with you!
Pastor Chris
