W elcome to worship at First Baptist. We are so glad that you have joined us today. From the heart of

downtown Knoxville, we are touching lives around the world, sharing the ministry and life of Jesus Christ. If you need further information about our church, or desire a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, our ministers will be available following the service at each exit. Please prepare for worship by: • Silencing cell phones, pagers and PDAs. • Encouraging children five years old and older to

worship using the printed supplements available from ushers.

• Taking advantage of our Preschool Extended Session designed specifically for children age 3 and under. Pagers are provided to communicate with parents in case of emergency. Children age 4 years -1st grade may attend Passage, our children’s worship experience, after the children’s sermon, or remain with their parents in the service.

• Noting that restrooms are located directly behind the choir loft.

Becoming a Member You are welcome and encouraged to come to the front of the church to meet with a minister during the Hymn of Response to request baptism or to join the church. If you are not ready to do this, please complete the information in the tear-off portion of this worship folder and place it in the offering plate and a minister will contact you this week. Or, you may simply call the church office to request an appointment with any minister. Continue the Experience Check your local television provider’s guide for information about the rebroadcast of today’s worship service. The worship service is available on DVD and can be obtained by calling the church office. The message for today’s worship service will also be available later this week online at www.fbcknox.org.

Youth Week 2014 - January 20-26 Each year we give our Middle School and High School students the opportunity to experience the various leadership positions within First Baptist. For one week, Youth Ministry@ 1B students will fill the roles of ministers, staff, and lay leaders within the church. They will attend staff meeting, "shadow" their real-world counterparts throughout the week, teach Sunday School classes, and lead a

special worship service. This year's Youth Week Youth-led Worship Service is Sunday, January 26, at 6 pm in the Sanctuary. Please make plans to come support our youth in this special tradition. January Is National Mentoring Month There are many more children who need a mentor at South Knoxville Elementary School. Will you consider using one hour per week to dedicate it to a child in need? Mentors are positive, fun, faithful, encouraging, a listener, a helper, and a friend. Anyone who has the love of God in their heart can fulfill these attributes of a mentor. We have boys and girls on the list who need a mentor very soon.

You may pick up an application from the literature rack by the water fountain on the 3rd floor crossover. All applications need to be in by March 16. We will have a training class in May. Contact Carol Linger at 963-9993 or rlinger185@aol.com, to let her know that you would like to mentor a child. LAST CALL! Pictorial Directory Our new pictorial directory will be going to press. If you want to submit a picture for the directory, please send to Rhonda Ward as soon as possible.
