Worship

A Word from Our Pastor

Good morning, First Baptist Family!

This morning, we are centered on our children. Let’s celebrate the receiving and sending of hundreds of Christmas Shoeboxes to children around the world. (With each box goes the very clear message that Jesus is the Son of God who came to save people from their sins!) A BIG “Thank You” to Nanette Bray who leads us so well to accomplish our goals in this ministry.

Let’s also celebrate our amazing Shout Choir! When children sing, we are all blessed. I’m so thankful for all of our Wednesday night workers who lead this choir. We have an incredible Children’s Ministry!

And…Finally, let’s celebrate the incredible moment from the Book of Mark we will study today, that moment when Jesus said,“Let the little children come to me!”God loves every single person, but He especially loves the smallest among us, the children. The title of this morning’s message is, “It’s a Small World After All.”

All for Jesus,
Pastor Danny
