God develops

the fruit of the Spirit in your life

by allowing you

to experience circumstances

in which you’re tempted to

express the exact opposite quality!

From Your Pastor

As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ Galatians 6:14a

One of my favorite scripture verses. I love being your pastor,

Thank You Notes …

Dear First Baptist Church Family,

Thank you so much for all the love and prayers in the loss of our Father, Lamar Alford. We also greatly appreciate the wonderful lunch provided after the funeral.

Sincerely, Kelley, Catherine, Myra and Kendall

First Baptist Church Family,

There comes a time in everyone's life when they have to admit that they “can’t do it alone.” That time is now for me. I need the prayers of everyone of you to get me through this ordeal. It seems the Lord is not through mold-ing me to his likeness. I love and appreciate each and everyone of you, your cards, letters and call have been brightening my days, There is no word on when I will be released from The Manor, so for now I love you my church family and will keep you in my prayers, you do the same for me.

Love to each of you,

John Moran

Dear Church Family and Pastor Tim,

During the days after my mother’s Home-Going to meet her Savior, many of you expressed heartfelt prayers and support in so many ways. For this we were humbly grateful and praise the Lord for such an outpouring of His spirit.

May the riches of Jesus Christ’s Grace be upon you!

Dean and Pat Penzo

Dear First Baptist Church Family,

We are sincerely appreciative of the outpouring of sympathy and love we received after the sudden loss of our beloved mother and grandmother. The prayers, visits, cards, food, telephone call, and memorials were a comfort to our family.. We are truly blessed to be a part of this thoughtful church body.

The Donnie Richardson Family
