November Newsletter

We at First Baptist have been so blessed this year on so many levels. Our church has been blessed through God’s guidance and Pastor Ted’s leadership, the youth group has been blessed by wonderful support from all of you in the congregation, and I personally have been blessed to watch our group grow in its love for the Lord and His Word. God is so gracious to us to give us all we need; let’s not forget to show our gratefulness for His care.

This past month, we had an opportunity like never before to reach out to the surrounding community. East Coweta High School held its homecoming parade right down Main Street, giving us the ability to share the love of Christ by passing out sodas to those watching on the sidelines. We also were able to get details about our church’s ministries into their hands through flyers and customized cups for the soda. Continue to pray with me that God will use the service of His people and the work of His church to reach out to those in need of Him.

This month, we will once again take our youth to the processing center for the Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. Last year, we as a church took almost 100 shoeboxes filled with toys and necessities for children in need. Those boxes last year were shipped off to children in India. Who knows where God will use our boxes this time? Let’s push that number over the century mark as we give out of the blessing we have received from the Lord throughout this past year. If you have an interest in going with our group, please come talk with me. We will be able to take up to 25 people this year.
