This January we celebrate Rev. Matt
Law’s 10th anniversary of service at our
church. We are grateful for his faithfulness and the fruit of his ministry here at
First Baptist. As a way to express our
gratitude for his and Jennifer’s influence
we will be hosting a church wide luncheon on Sunday, January 25, 2015, and
this month we will be taking up a love
offering on their behalf. Love offering
envelopes are available in the pew racks
and Welcome Station for your convenience. Let’s be generous as a way to
show our gratefulness for their generous service to us and our youth!
