Dear Church family,
Sunday morning, Remington Walker came forward to make his public profession of faith in Christ. He decided to accept Christ at our children’s camp last summer. After talking with his grandparents, Dale and T.J. Walker, he decided to be baptized. Praise the Lord for his commitment and his grandparent’s desire to see him follow Jesus!
Last Thursday, Debbie Parker let us know she will be leaving her employment at First Baptist as our Preschool and Children’s Associate. She wants to spend more time with her mother who lives with her. Debbie’s friendly smile and helpful ways have been an encouragement not only to the children’s area, but to our entire church. We are thankful Debbie and her husband Stan will continue to serve in various volunteer capacities here at FBC. Please be sure to express your appreciation to her.
Thank you for your prayers for Tracey’s mother, Gerri Yazza. She recently left the rehab facility in Little Rock, Arkansas, where she was recuperating. We are now facing decisions for her future care. The Lord has truly done a work in her life over the last eight weeks. She has a powerful testimony she shares with all who will listen. Pray for God’s wisdom and leadership for our family. Many of you have walked through these days and know the challenges we face.
The “For Generations” team needs your prayers as we prepare for Vision Sunday on March 9th. It is vitally important we communicate the need and the plan for providing space to accommodate future growth at FBC. God continues to bless us with His favor and exponential growth. We are ready for this challenge, and I ask you to begin praying now about your part in sacrificial giving and serving. There are greater days ahead for FBC as we seek to make disciples in Glen Rose, Somervell County, and the World.
Sunday morning, February 23, we will observe the ordinance of the Lord’s Supper in both morning worship services. Plan time before you come to the service to prepare your heart and mind. This special time should draw us closer to Jesus and each other.
You are loved and appreciated,
Pastor Rick
