  This Sunday At First Baptist
September 5, 2010
9:15  • 
Traditional Worship in the Sanctuary  •  Contemporary Worship in the Venue
10:45  • 
Blended Worship in the Sanctuary  •  Contemporary Worship in the Venue

This week we move into the prayer of praise and worship.  As the Psalmist said:

"I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart; before the 'gods' I will sing your praise.  I will bow down toward Your holy temple and will praise Your name for Your love and Your faithfulness, for You have exalted above all things Your name and Your word."
                                                                          Psalm 138:1-2

Praising God for who He is will be our focus because He is worthy, and because it is a vital part of our communication with Him.
Join us this Sunday as we study the Prayer of Praise & Worship.

  Midweek Service
Tonight  •  6:00-7:00pm  •  In the Sanctuary
Our relationships are an area where margins are so critical.  Our words, our actions, our time...even the spiritual aspects of our relationships, bear a huge impact on managing our relationships
in a way that is please to God. After another delicious Fellowship Meal, join us tonight as we look at the margins we need to place
on our relationships.

Tonight's fellowship meal: BBQ pork chops (kids: hot dogs)
Adults: $4   Kids: $2   Family max: $15
Serving: Larry McKinney's Sunday School class

  What's Your Story?
Pastor Buddy wants to know
We all have a story to tell, but those that reflect God’s hand in our lives often empower us and provide tremendous growth and celebration. Do you have a recent God-story? Celebrate what He has been doing! Take just a minute to tell us what God has recently done in and around you. These stories will be sent directly to the Pastor’s office.
