SAINTS ALIVE
We will be sharing special music in the evening service
Sunday, September 11. Were singing Unspeakable Joy
Medley. Remember to wear your white logo shirts and
black pants. Dont forget our goal for enlarging the choir
and do your part to make it happen!
The date the choir has selected to attend the state Festival is
October 6-7. Mark your calendar and signup next Monday
to attend this great event in Toccoa, Ga.

FELLOWSHIP CLUB
Our 2016-2017 Fellowship Club activities begin on
Monday, September 12. Our regularly scheduled meeting
time (the first Monday of the month) happened on the Labor
Day, so weve moved it back one week like we always do.
Please come a little early to help us set up the room and
arrange everything. Your help cleaning up at the end of the
program will be appreciated, too!
We have a unique treat awaiting us at noon that day. The
Bells of Allegro will be our guest entertainment. They are a
unique group of ringers from the Allegro Senior Living
Center in Tallahassee, Florida. Their music will entertain
and perhaps inspire some of us to grab a bell and make a
joyful noise with it. Bring a covered dish, bring a friend,
and bring yourself to this great gathering of friends. Mark
your calendar.

SPECIAL CALLED BUSINESS MEETING

We are currently considering the proposal by the Deacons
to become an incorporated entity. The final discussion and
vote will be held at our regularly scheduled Quarterly
Conference on Wednesday, September 28.

Maybe you are called to such a time as this. Please pray.

individuals to teach three month shifts in three of our children's classes.
If you are able to assist, please contact me as soon as possible!

I hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend. We

are a month into the new school year so many of you
are getting settled into a routine and are becoming
familiar with what your days, nights, and weekends
are going to look like. I want to encourage you to
make our weekly gatherings here at First Baptist a
priority. I love to worship and fellowship with my
church family!
See You At The Pole is coming up at the end of the
month. On the morning of September 28th, students
across this nation will be gathering at their schools
flagpole to pray for their school, city, and nation.
Make plans now to get up a little earlier to join your
friends at the flagpole.
Also, the evening of the 28th we will be joining in a
community wide worship rally at Bainbridge Church
of God. The service will begin at 6:30. This
promises to be a great day. Praying together at
school in the morning and worshipping together that
evening with our friends.

Blessings,
Jeff
