Brown Love Offering
The Staff-Parish Relations Committee invites you to participate in a love offering for the Browns. Please drop it off at the Church Office and indicate "Brown Love Offering." From Your Parsonage Family
Tammy and I wish to express our appreciation to Hal Earnest and the Staff-Parish Relations Committee for the lovely reception in our honor last Sunday morning. Your expressions of love and appreciation truly blessed us. I am especially grateful to Miss Ida, Miss Karen, and the children for their gift of the poster with the children’s handprints and names—I will treasure it forever! We appreciate your love and support over these last four years, and, as we wrap up our activities in the church and community and make the transition to a new place of service, we will continue to remember you in prayer. Welcome Our New Parsonage Family!
As Rev. Melissa Traver and her family—husband Chris and sons Xander and Grayson—prepare to come to Bainbridge, we want to make them welcome. You are invited to send cards and notes of welcome to the Travers to 5966 Sherborne Drive, Columbus, GA 31909. Join Our Music Groups!
If you want to serve the Lord through music, we invite you to join in our Church music groups: Chancel Choir, Handbells Choir, Handchimes Choir, and Youth Choir. If you can play any instrument, we invite you to play during services. If you know music grammar, that is great, but if you don't, we will teach you all that is necessary. Each person is gifted and loved by the Lord. Contact Music Director Yuliia Billa (billayuliia@gmail.com) for additional information. Dementia Worshop
There will be a free Dealing with Dementia workshop held Saturday, May 18, from 9:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. at First Baptist Church.
