First Baptist Church

Discover the Love of Christ

Frostproof, Florida February 2019

Dear Church Family,

I read a book a couple of years ago called “The Rise of The Nones” by James
Emery White. A few years ago, the American Religious Identification
Survey was conducted and some things in the report we already knew:
mainline denominations are losing ground; church attendance across the U.S.
is down; the Bible Belt is less Baptist today; and there was an increase in one
category that was not previously discussed- “the nones”. These are people
who are not affiliated with any religion. The nones make up the nation’s
fastest growing and second largest religious category. It is estimated that one
in five Americans now claim no religious identity.

No doubt we live in a different culture today. I believe that the church has to
evaluate the “why” and “how” of what it is doing. Methods have to change.
We know that God does not change, nor does His word. We are still given Inside this issue:
the mandate to “go and make disciples”. We have to decide the best
strategies for accomplishing that.

Pastor’s Remarks
In a short while I will be sharing with you a simple outreach/evangelism
strategy for the year, 3 x 3 Evangelism that I hope everyone will consider Widow/Widower Luncheon 2

being involved in. It basically consists of choosing three people to pray
for, invite or bring to Bible study and church, and sharing your story of

how you came to know Christ. It is simple enough that everyone can be February Birthdays

involved at some level. We want to minister to our own church family, but

arteries which is a leading cause of stroke; abdominal aortic aneurysms which can lead to a ruptured aorta;
hardening of the arteries in the legs which is a strong predictor of heart disease; atrial fibrillation or

Thank You Note Annual Risk Management Meeting

Dear Church family, The Risk Management Meeting will be held on

I would like to thank my church family for
everything each one has done for me. I want
you all to know that prayer works or I would
not be here!
God is not done with me and my plan is to
find out what God has for me to do. I believe
He wants each of you to do the same.
Please continue to pray for my hand.
Love in Christ,
Treva Morrison
