    A great week of ministry has taken place at First Baptist.

    First, 208 boxes were collected for Operation Christmas Child,


    sponsored by Samaritan Purse. Thank you to all who participated in
    this annual event. Through your efforts the Gospel will be shared
    around the world by opening doors with shoe boxes for children.
    Thank you!
    Our second ministry event was the Mission Meal held last
    Sunday. A great number attended and donated over $2400 to our
    Mission endeavor. Thank you to all who had a part in preparing,
    serving and cleaning up for this event. Thank you to all who came
    to eat. The Food and the Fellowship was outstanding!
    The Gathering, our contemporary worship service, is off to
    a great start. Remember to tell your friends about this optional
    opportunity to worship. There is a place for everyone at First
    Baptist Church!
    Looking ahead, we will observe our Ingathering for Foreign
    Missions and the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering on Sunday,
    December 7. Greg Queen of the International Mission Board of the
    Southern Baptist Convention will be our guest in both morning
    worship services. You might remember that Greg was with us about
    seven years ago. This years goal for the ingathering is $12,000.
    I know times are tough for a lot of folks. Money is tight, it
    is at my house. I know we are entering the time of the year when
    there are more demands on our money than perhaps any other time
    of the year. But, I also know that we made a faith commitment last
    December to a budget amount for the church operations and
    ministries. Looking at our deficit, we have fallen short of the
    commitment we have made. That commitment was not to the
    preacher or the church, but to the Lord. Lets be faithful in keeping
    that commitment.
    I look forward to seeing you this Sunday in Sunday School
    and worship.
    Paul

    Wrap Bainbridge in Love Saturday, December 13 10 am - Noon


    The Children's Sunday School Department and Missions Committee is
    hosting a present wrapping table for our community at WalMart. We
    will wrap presents at no cost and request no donations. We just want
    to show Bainbridge some love. We would love to include you in our
    event! You can help in the following ways:
    1. Come and wrap gifts.
    2. Come and build relationships. As the people wait for their presents,
    we will need those who will talk with the people to make them feel
    welcome, pray with them, invite them to church and, of course, share
    Jesus, the Reason for the Season.
    3. Help set up or take down. Take one hour from your day to be a
    BIG blessing. We need people to load and unload chairs and tables.
    4. Donate tape and funds towards gift wrap and bows. Paper is
    cheaper in bulk, and we can get TONS at a very reasonable cost.
    Please consider supporting this effort as means of presenting the
    Gospel. Donations may be dropped off at the church office.
    Sign up this week in your Sunday School class or call the church
    office!

    Christmas Parade Thursday, December 11 6:30 pm


    Every child involved at FBC is invited to be a part of our Children's

    sing Christmas Carols and pass out candy. If your child would like to
    participate, please contact the church office!

    exchange game to play at the end of the night. Please sign up for
    this event so we can prepare enough food for the evening.
    Also in conjunction with the Christmas party we will begin again
    handing out the Shinning Light award. This award is given to the

    this special award over the next couple of weeks.

    decorate the public library. Plan to meet at the church by 8:45.

    plans to be in attendance. The youth are learning songs and
    preparing to share with you on this night so show up and let them
    know you love and support them!!
    Strength to Stand conference is scheduled for January 17-19. We
    have just a few spots open that we need to fill. Contact me if you
    are interested. If you are attending the conference, the balance of
    your trip needs to be paid by Sunday, January 4th.

    Blessings,
    Jeff
