The week of the Thanksgiving Holiday has passed but the season of Thanksgiving continues.

We reflect on our many blessing during this time of the year the greatest of which is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We turn our attention to the celebration of His virgin birth, His virtuous life, His vicarious death, His victorious resurrection, and His visual return. Oh, what a wonderful time of the year! I hope you will take advantage of every opportunity to celebrate the Season in worship. Come and hear the sermons on the Birth of Christ from the Gospels and lift your voices in praise as we sing the glorious songs of His birth. Join with us in fellowship and service not only now but throughout the year. I am honored that you have chosen to worship with us today. Paul

The t-shirts are $10, the long sleeves are $15, and the hoodies are $20. If you are interested, please see me or Alli Guy. Please be reminded about the Know La Conference deadlines so we can get our money to the appropriate people. You will need to have your $50 deposit to me by November 25th and the remaining $35 by December 19th. Continue praying for the college ministry as we venture deeper into the preparations for the BCM @ Bainbridge College. We are planning on our kick off at the beginning of the Spring semester. I would also like to remind you to keep an eye on the Builder for the upcoming events. We are swamped with activities and I will continue to keep you informed of the dates and times.

SAINTS ALIVE
Tonights time of worship will be led by our Saints Alive Choir. These Senior Saints have worked to prepare a time of worship that will inspire and uplift each of us. In addition to scripture readings, prayers and a devotional by Harold Burrell, the Saints Alive Choir will lead us in a variety of anthems of praise and encouragement. They will feature a medley of a classic hymn arrangement of For the Beauty of the Earth with the contemporary praise chorus We bring the Sacrifice of Praise. Other medleys of favorites and inspirational songs will have all of us tapping toes and praising the Lord. Join us at 6:30 PM tonight. This is where all FBC members should be!
