CliffNotes…..Thanks to Jeff, our choir, and our musicians for a great night of worship last Sunday night! The music was outstanding and the Gospel was clear. You are a blessing to us as a church family! Sunday morning we will have the vote that was announced on the last two Sunday mornings. The vote will empower our Trustee Ministry to act on behalf of our church in an auction or pre-auction setting to act on behalf of the interest of First Baptist church in regards to the Firestone property. Thanks for praying for this process. Sunday we return to II Corinthians as we continue to see the Apostle Paul’s challenge to the church in spreading the Gospel. We will also have the privilege of celebrating the remarkable music ministry of Nancy Claxton! I look forward to being with you on the Lord’s Day! AM—TreasureinEarthenVessels—II Cor. 4:7-16 PM—Josh Stewart
