Do you smile? Do you consider yourself friendly?
Are you
regular in your Sunday School and morning worship attendance? I
ask these questions because if you said yes to one or more then you
can qualify to be a Greeter on Sunday Mornings. Greeters for
Sunday School can be any age, male or female, singles or couples.
This ministry is often overlooked but greatly needed. A greeter can
make someones morning with a simple smile or
acknowledgement. A greeter is often the first person a visitor or
prospect meets and gives the first impression of the church. If you
feel called to be a greeter then contact me, Lewis Jones or Jerry
Pollock. We have a place for you!
Several events are scheduled for the days ahead at First
Baptist that you wont want to miss. The weekend of February 1315 will be the D-Now weekend for our youth. This is the biggest
evangelistic thrust our youth are involved in. On Sunday Morning
the 15th we will have a combined worship service at 11 AM to
celebrate D-Now. I look forward to seeing all of our youth, youth
leaders, host home parents, and volunteers together on that morning.
It will be an exciting time!
Then on Sunday evening of the 15th we will host one of
Bainbridges own local mission projects. The childrens choir from
the Friendship House of Jesus will be with us. Many years ago a
vision was cast and a group of local folks, including many from
First Baptist, and the Friendship House of Jesus begun. Through the
years First Baptist has supported this mission financially, physically
and prayerfully. It will be a joy to hear the testimonies of the
children and the reports of the staff.
I look forward to what God is going to do this Sunday and
every Sunday at His church. Join with me as we worship together.

LISTENING AIDS
The AV Committee has discovered an effective, low-cost solution to those who require additional amplification of the
sounds. We have purchased and installed FM radio transmitters in the Worship Center, Youth Building and Fellowship
Hall which will broadcast events on the FM band of 91.1. A
small FM receiver and earphones or a headphone is all that is
required. Those receiving this signal are able to adjust the volume to fit your own personal needs. Check with a member of
the AV team if you need more information.
SAINTS ALIVE CHOIR
The Saints Alive Choir will be joining the Chancel Choir in
the morning service this Sunday. Join us at 10:40 PM in the

night. You were 38% of the congregation!
CHILDREN TO SING
Join us Feb. 11th, at the 7 PM Prayer Meeting time to hear our
Music Makers and Young Musicians Choirs share some

We have a vacancy in the roster of ringers in our Handbell
Choir. If you are a music reader, youre already on your way

DNOW Weekend.
As of right now we have 85 students signed up for Disciple
Now weekend. I am so pumped about this weekend. We have
a great line up of speaker and band to lead us in our worship
rallies as well as a great group of college students coming to
lead our small group bible studies.
There is a place for you to serve during DNOW. Just let
myself or a member of the Youth Committee know and we
can put you to work.
Please remember that Sunday the 15th we will have one
combined worship service at 11:00 to finish off the weekend.
There is a parent meeting this Sunday following the 11:00
service in the youth building concerning DNOW. Lunch is
