January 25, 2015 Bulletin - First Baptist Church of Middleville

Sunday, January 25th, 2015
Welcome to First Baptist Church!
If you are visiting with us today, we are glad you came, and we trust the music and message will be a source of blessing and spiritual encouragement to you. Here at FBC, the
things that are meaningful to God are the things that are meaningful to us—and that
includes the opportunity to know you and help you know the Lord better and more deeply.
If you are from the area and do not attend a Bible preaching church, we would like to invite you to study the Word of God with us regularly.
We care about you!
