Worship Guide
First Baptist Corsicana
Welcome
We’re glad you’re here as we remember God’s great love in Christ
This is how God’s love was revealed among us: God sent His one and only Son into the world, so that we might live through Him. 1 John 4:9–10 (BSB)
If you’re visiting today, we’d love to know how we can serve you.

A Word from the Staff
Who is Lottie Moon?
Lottie Moon was appointed a missionary to China July 7, 1873. She was a bold woman of action and radical obedience who shared Christ with the people of China to the end. Lottie died Dec. 24, 1912, leaving a legacy of love and service to her Lord. Her influence led to the establishment of Woman’s Missionary Union and inspired other missions pioneers to join her on the field. Her passionate letter-writing led to the offering that bears her name today, Lottie Moon Christmas Offering® for International Missions.
This year our offering goal is $18,000.
Cantata
Next Sunday, join us at 11:00AM to hear our Celebration Choir present “Light of Christ, Born For Us.” We will just have the one combined service that Sunday after Sunday School and are excited to celebrate Christmas and Christ’s birth through the Cantata. We hope that you can make it and invite someone to hear the truth of the Christmas season.
Advent Calendar
As we continue the Advent season, this week we are focusing on LOVE. God showed us how He truly loves us by sending His Son to earth. We pray the Lord help us to remember His love for us no matter what is happening in our lives and show us ways we can share His love in our lives this season. To help you and your family center on this love, we’ve prepared a family Advent Reading Plan available outside the Sanctuary. This guide will walk you through Scripture as you focus on Christ this season.
Advent Candles: Hope, Love, Peace, Joy, Christ!
With love,
Your Ministerial Staff
Ministry Opportunities
Compassion Can Drive
Each year, our church partners with Compassion Corsicana to provide food items for families in need. This year, we are collecting Cream of Chicken Soup (any size).
Please bring cans to the Welcome Center by December 9th, and we’ll deliver them on behalf of our church family.
Thank you for your generosity!
Invite Someone
Do you know someone who needs Christ or needs a church family? We have invitation cards available outside the Sanctuary for you to share with a friend, neighbor, or coworker.

Meditate on God’s Word
1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it.
