SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS’ MEETING: If you currently teach or are interested in teaching children’s Sunday School we will have a brief meeting after Sunday School starting at 10:05am on August 19th in the Serenity Room (on your left in the nursery/preschool hallway off the narthex) . We will discuss the curriculum as well as the division of the students/grade levels at this meeting. See you then!
GOD IS CALLING YOU! Matthew 28:19-20 says “19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” God is calling us to teach others about him! What better way than to start with our youth right here at First Baptist Church! Take a minute to talk to and get to know our awesome children/youth and consider being blessed by taking a teaching position in either one of our Sunday School classes or Junior Church. If you have questions or are interested, please see Tina W.
TIME TO KICK OFF ANOTHER SCHOOL YEAR! Do you love to eat? Is breakfast your favorite meal of the day? If you answered yes to one or both of these questions, then please join us for the Sunday School Kick Off Breakfast on September 9th at 8:30am in The Gathering Place! Our Sunday School classes are off to a great start, and we want you to help us jump start another year! Please bring something to share so that we can celebrate this new beginning and look forward to what God has in store for us next!
WHERE IS THE CHURCH DIRECTORY??? Due to a computer mishap, all of the data that was entered into the church records after June 1 has to be re-entered. This is quite a task! Work on the directory update that was supposed to be completed in July is ongoing. A draft will be printed for you to check before the directory is printed. Thank you for your patience!
ALTAR CALL TEAM MEETING: There will be a brief meeting following the worship service today in the Serenity Place (on your left in the nursery/preschool hallway off the narthex) for anyone who would be interested in serving on the Altar Call Team this year. The team's ministry is to counsel those individuals presenting themselves in worship for the purpose of accepting Christ as their Savior, renewing their commitment to Christ, or presenting themselves for baptism or church membership. If you have an interest in serving the Lord in this ministry, please plan to attend the meeting for more information.
MATTER OF BALANCE: Another balance class is being offered by Wellspan and is coming up soon. Please contact Linda T if you are interested.
WANT TO START A GOOD HABIT? The mid-week morning Bible study/prayer meeting meets on Wednesday mornings at 10:00am, in the pastor’s office. If you attend regularly you will grow in your walk with the Lord and other believers.
Music Picnic: The annual music picnic will take place on Thursday, August 23 at 6:30pm at the home of John & Linda M in bustling downtown Weigelstown. Past, present and future members of any musical group as well as members of the A/V team, and their families, are welcome. As is usual, meat, drinks and place settings will be provided. Your contribution may be a vegetable, salad or dessert. And don't forget your lawn chair. Thursday evening rehearsals will resume September 6th: handbell choir at 6:30pm and choir at 7:45pm.
Thank you to all the volunteers who loved our kids by helping with Vacation Bible School this weekend.
PRAYER THOUGHT
Our Father in heaven,
We are before you to praise and worship your name,
You are sovereign and almighty God,
Forgive our bad deeds, bad words, bad thoughts, and bad feelings,
You already had blessed us sending your son Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior
We pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ around the World and in the USA
We pray that they will
Sense God’s presence,
Know the greater body of Christ is praying for them,
Experience God´s comfort when
persecuted,
See good open doors to evangelism,
Boldly share the Gospel,
Forgive and love their persecutors,
Be granted wisdom in covert ministry,
Remain joyful amid suffering,
Mature in their faith,
Be rooted in God´s word,
We pray that they will
In Jesus name we pray
Amen and Amen.
