Home Groups – We are excited to announce the launch of Home Groups this October. You may ask, “What is a Home Group and what does that have to do with me?” This is a gathering of people in the home of a person who attends First Baptist with the express purpose of navigating life together. God created us for relationship; with Him and one another. With this in mind, we want to gather together to encourage one another as we face the challenges of life. These Home Groups are places we can invite our neighbors and friends, grow deeper in our relationship with God and one another, and share the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. Some of the details for these groups are listed below and we will provide more information in the near future.- In Christ’s Love, Pastor Dawes Dunham

Featured Read of the Week (Free at the Borrow-a-Book Box & Tract Rack) – Discovery Series: Pray First – We all know people who need a relationship with Jesus.

In Pray First! you’ll find specific ways to pray as well as encouragement to continue to pray on behalf of others.

Recap of Last Sunday’s Announcement – The deacons and pastors have come to the difficult decision to cancel the Wednesday evening fall
ministries for the rest of this year. They’ll be revisiting this decision in November to see if we can start things back up in January. While there are many differing opinions, we appreciate your understanding and unity as we continue to grow in our personal walk with the Lord and reach out to our
community in Christ. We’ll be starting a new sermon series soon on 1 Peter and encourage you to read through this book and take notes.

Featured Read of the Week (Free at the Borrow-a-Book Box & Tract Rack) – How Good is Good Enough? Surely there’s more than one way to get to heaven? Bestselling author Andy Stanley addresses this popular belief held even among Christians. But believing that all good people go to heaven raises major problems, Stanley reveals. Is goodness not rewarded, then? Is Christianity not fair? Maybe not, he says. Readers will find out why Jesus taught that goodness is not even a requirement to enter heaven – and why Christianity is beyond fair.
