IGNITE 2018

Men, it’s slowly creeping up on us…a time of great fellowship, of praising

and worshipping our Lord. The original 20 discounted tickets are sold out.

Tickets through Dec. 29th

are $56.00. After that, the price will most likely go

up again for the tickets. If you need someone to purchase the ticket(s) for

you, just let Bill Girard know. We will be staying at our usual hotel this year

and the price is $65.00 per man (2 double beds/ $130.00 per room)…add

the $12.00 Chick-Fil-a box lunch and for $133.00, you can secure your

event ticket, Saturday lunch and lodging. Ladies - this makes a great

Christmas gift! Also, I encourage bringing your sons, neighbors and friends.

For more information, please contact Bill Girard @ 757-353-5461. Note that

we increased the number of rooms to a total of 30. There are only 15

rooms left. They are not reserved until full payment is received. Also, this

offer has been extended to the Gloucester Men’s Ministry, so these rooms

will sell out soon. Please don’t wait!

*** Payment for the room and/or ticket must be done directly to Bill

Girard, this being so the room/ticket will immediately be reserved. We

are expecting to sell out quickly. Checks should be made out to

“Petsworth Baptist Church”.

IMPORTANT- CHURCH CALENDAR CHANGE

We have now moved to an electronic calendar, which can be

found on the church website, the church phone app, and if

need be, you can contact our church secretary Joyce Blocker

if you have any questions about events taking place at

Petsworth. All event requests must go through Joyce before

being added to the calendar, so that she can verify

availability of the resources you are looking to reserve.

These resources include any part of the facility here at

Petsworth, such as the sanctuary, the Youth Building, the

conference room, etc. This also includes reserving the

Van(s) for trips or events. Ministry Leaders, please take a

moment to verify the accuracy of the calendar for your

ministry as of today... thanks!

Want the best seat on Sunday mornings? Get involved

with the audio or the video ministry here at Petsworth

Baptist Church. In a short period of time, you could be

working on the video or sound systems. There is no

need to be an expert to join. We will train you! This

gives you a chance to be a part of the ministry and not

have to be on the podium.

Contact Don Gough (goughd@cox.net) for audio or Bill

Girard (bill4christ@gmail.com) for video or drop by the

booth after a service for more information

If you ordered and paid for a poinsettia, please take the flower(s) home

with you today after the service. If you still haven’t paid for your

flower(s), please do so as soon as possible. Checks should be made out to

Petsworth Baptist Church and you can drop it off at office or mail it.

“There is only one Man whom we can trust to follow. That Man is Jesus Christ. Why is He different from any other person? Why do I

refuse to follow other people, and yet follow this Man? Of no other person, can it be said, ‘In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with

God, and the Word was God.’ (John 1:1) ‘And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory of the only

begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.’ (John 1:14). Of no other person from Adam to

now can it be said, ‘His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God, the

Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.’ (Isaiah 9:6). Of no other can this be said . . .”
