of Deacon at First Baptist Church. From this list a screening committee will select the men eligible for the position and place their names before the church for final consideration. It is important that each church member prayerfully submit their choices. Additional copies of the list may be obtained from your Sunday School class or the church office. Please nominate up to ten men. The Personnel Committee reported last Sunday morning the addition of nine people to assist their committee in the selection of a person for the position of Minister of Youth and College. Those nine are: Dusty Allen, Ginger Jones, Harold Burrell, Frances Edmunds, Richard Dykes, Charles Hall, Rhonda Walker, Stan Killough, and David Helms. Pray for Gods leadership in this search.
