  This Sunday, At First Baptist

9:15  • 
Traditional Worship in the Sanctuary  •  Contemporary Worship in the Venue

Blended Worship in the Sanctuary  •  Contemporary Worship in the Venue

Sunday morning we conclude our "Why" message series, asking the question, Why Care?

When Jesus looked upon humanity here on earth, He was moved with compassion. We were like sheep without a shepherd, moving toward eternity with no hope.

As His church, this week we consider the question, why should we care about the masses, both in our area and abroad? Join us Sunday morning for the conclusion of this five part series, Why Care?

We will not have an evening service this Sunday.

  Wednesday Evening Service: How To...Beat Temptation
Wednesdays
  •  6:00-7:00pm  •  In the Sanctuary
This winter and spring we are studying the book of James in a quest to answer life's toughest "how to" questions regarding the faith. This Wednesday night we deal with how to deal with...and defeat...temptation. James has much to say on the topic, and we all could use the refresher James 1:12-18 gives us.

After another delicious Wednesday Night Fellowship Meal, join us in the Sanctuary for this time of worship and Bible study as we learn together
"How To" take on life, Biblically. We hope to see you there!

  Impact Now
Small Group Ministry Sunday
  •  February 21st
Webster defines impact as "a significant or major effect" or "the force of impression of one thing on another." By definition, our small group Bible teaching ministry of Sunday School impacts lives every week. God’s Word always has a significant effect or impression on lives. His Word never returns void.

On Sunday, February 21st the Sunday School ministry will experience IMPACT NOW. On that Sunday, we encourage every small group member and regular attender to be present. We believe God’s people coming together can make an impact for Him in our church and community.

Make your plans now to be a part of IMPACT NOW. Expect God to impact our lives as we seek to be an impact for His glory. If you are not currently in a small group, let us help. Please contact Roger Crew at 655-2403, email him at rogerc@fbctrussville.org, or visit the Sunday School page of our website. There is a small group for you!

     
         
 
     
         
         
         
         
  Prayer Ministry
A Prayer Ministry Leadership Team is being organized to develop, implement, and oversee an overall strategy for prayer at First Baptist. If you would like to explore the possibilities of being on this time, or for more about the responsibilities of team members, please contact Roger Crew at rogerc@fbctrussville.org, or 655-2403.
     
         
 
     
         
         
         
         
  Graduates and Professionals Small Group
The Singles Ministry of First Baptist is starting a new small group for graduates and professionals, and we want you to be a part of it! If you're interested in participating or leading in this new class on Sunday mornings, please contact Minister to Singles Robby Hyche at 228-0254, or robbyh@fbctrussville.org.
