Welcome Upcoming Events
Family Portraits
Wednesday night programs over the next few weeks will focus on the stories of the great families of the Old Testament. Come to learn more about Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebekah, Joseph and his brothers, and more. As part of this series, we’d like to hear your family stories too. If you can share something interesting about your family story (when your family first came to the U. S., or maybe the colonies, when your family settled in Bainbridge or anything else), please let Pastor Melissa know. D-Now Volunteers Needed
D-Now, our community-wide youth retreat, is February 14-16. We need lots of volunteers from the congregation to make this a great experience for our youth. Friday night four hundred youth will gather to eat in the J. O. Smith Building. Ten to twelve volunteers are needed to serve. We also need several homes to host a group of youth overnight Friday and Saturday. We need drivers and small group leaders for Saturday’s activities and someone to coordinate breakfast for the youth on Sunday morning. Let Elizabeth Simmons or Pastor Melissa know if you will help. District Day of Giving Back
On February 22, we will have the District-Wide Family Service Day at Vashti Center in Thomasville. It will begin with a gathering at 9:00 a.m. and end with a wrap-up at 2:00 p.m. In between, we will assemble benches and UMCOR Hygiene Kits, write letters to Military Service Members, and play Flag Football (for those inclined to the activity). Lunch will be provided. You are asked to RSVP by February 14 by calling the Church. Vashti Giving Sunday
Vashti Giving Sunday on Sunday, February 2, is a day to share the incredible work they are doing and give you a chance to share in their mission – to foster healing, hope, and transformation to children and families in Georgia. Prepare to be generous. Christian Fellowship Dinners

Introducing On-Line Giving!
You can now give online to the church. You can give your regular gifts to our operating budget, memorial gifts, or special gifts to the music ministry, building fund, and more using your debit or credit card! You can set up recurring gifts, too. This service is offered for the convenience of our members and friends. The church does incur a small processing fee for each gift. The giver has the option to add an amount to cover this fee or not. To give online, simply go to our website at bainbridgefirstumc.org and look for the blue button that says “GIVE.” You also can set up a draft of your checking account for your regular gifts to the church. This method has no fee for the church. Simply complete the draft form in the church office. Bainbridge First UMC is blessed with a very generous congregation. Hopefully, these new ways to give will be helpful to you.
