How to Become a Christian…

Realize that we are all sinners and cannot save ourselves. (Romans 3:23) Understand that the penalty for sin is eternal death in Hell. (Romans 6:23) Know that God loves us so much that He gave His Son, Jesus, to die for our sins. (Romans 5:8) Believe in God’s plan of forgiveness and the promise of eternal life through Jesus. (Romans 10:9) Accept His promise by repenting of sin and asking Jesus to be the Lord of your life. (Romans 10:13)

How to Join our Church …

1. By making a public profession of faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and testifying to that by baptism.

2. By a transfer of membership from another Baptist church. 3. By your statement of faith in Christ and believer’s baptism by immersion. 4. By believer’s baptism.

If you would like to pray to receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, rededicate your life to Him, become part of our church family, or otherwise have a question or special prayer need, you are invited to go forward during the invitation song that follows the sermon and speak with one of our staff or indicate your decision on the Communication Card and place in offering plate.

Sunday morning services can be heard through our website at greenwoodfbc.com and are broadcast at 11:00am each Sunday on Spirit 106.

CD’s of all worship services are available through the church office for $1.00.

For more information about FBC or to contact one of our ministers,

please visit us at greenwoodfbc.com

Please complete both sides, detach, and place in the offering plate.

D-Now Appreciation

I want to say thank you for all who participated in a leadership role at this year’s D-Now. It takes the support of our church to host a D-Now and there were so many people who stepped up and served. There is no way to list all their names, but I do want to say thank you to all our host families, small group leaders, recreation volunteers, food preparation volunteers, and set-up and clean-up crews. A special thanks to Grant Lowe, our student minister, Tammie, White, our minister to girls, and Beth Keisling, our student ministry assistant. Great job folks!

Let’s never cease praying for all our students as they continue to live for Jesus.

Dr. Charles Lowery is coming back to Green-wood to spend a day at FBC! Dr. Lowery is a gifted communicator who travels across America encouraging people through his crea-tive style of blending humor with biblical truth. His work as a pastor

You Have to Face It to Fix It”

Dr. Lowery gives a practical, biblical per-spective on how to break free from envy, be liberated from loneliness, respond to rejection, experience freedom in forgive-ness, tame the fire of anger, deal with death and the grunts and groans of life.

“Unglued” by Lysa Terkeurst

Enjoy supper, bath time, and tucking those babies in...and then dive into God’s Word! Unglued will equip you to know with confi-dence how to resolve conflict in your impor-tant relationships. Find peace in your most difficult relationships as you learn to be hon-est but kind when offended. Identify what type of reactor you are and how to signifi-cantly improve your communication. Gain a deep sense of calm by responding to situa-tions out of your control without acting out of control. Led by Tonia Hobbs. Please sign up on the Communication Card.
