SPIRITUAL
RENEWAL RETREAT
God
loved us when we didn’t deserve it. He continues
to love us now. Do we respond to it with him?
How about with others? Sound tough? Join us for
the Spiritual Renewal Retreat this Friday and
Saturday, November 6 & 7, 2009 here at First
Baptist and we’ll discuss the ways to share
more of what He gives us with each other and others.
If
you haven’t signed up, be sure to call this
week so we can get you included in an appropriate
workshop. If you would like more information about
this time together, pick up a brochure at the
church office. Call the church office at 934-9771
for your reservation today. It’s going to
be a renewal.

THANK
YOU FROM FBC YOUTH
Thank you to all the people who worked endless
hours to put together the Seventh Annual Becky
Knott Golf Tournament. Words alone cannot express
our appreciation. A special thank you to all the
individuals and businesses who sponsored teams
and came out and played, and to all those who
graciously made other donations to the golf tournament.
This year the tournament raised approximately
$7,000 for our 2010 Mission Trip. We cannot thank
you enough for your love and continued support
of our youth group. Love, FBC Youth
