First Baptist Church Relay for Life Team will be selling luminaries through Sunday, November 18, 2018. These luminaries will be lit during Relay for Life (May 3, 2019) in honor/memory of someone who has been touched by cancer. A listing will also be provided in the Living Christmas Tree program in 2018. Each luminaria requires a $10 donation or purchase 3 for $25. There will be a table outside the library and a table located in the FMC.

HomeboundChristmas CardsOnce again, it is time to show our Homebound Members how much they are cared for, loved, and missed at First Baptist Church. If you would like to give Christmas Cards to them, please just write their names on the envelope and put in the boxes provided in the Fellowship Hall and in front of the Library. Lists of Homebound Members names can be found in the boxes and are listed below.

Cards need to be placed in boxes by December 12. This will give our Homebound Visitors enough time to deliver before Christmas. Thank you for your support in this ministry.
