Join the FBC
Welcome
Team

We're excited about our new greeters at the doors
on Sunday Mornings!

We now have enough team members signed up that
each volunteers will serve only once in about three
and a half months.

We would like to expand this ministry to have
greeters at all door and near the parking lots to help
people from their cars to the open doors of
the church on bad weather days.

We need youth, young adults and older folks-we
accept all!

Parents, this is a great ministry to let your child
stand alongside you and hand out the church
bulletins. Watch the expression on their face as
they are allowed to work for God! It's great to be
the first person someone sees upon approaching
God's House.

Come and join the fun!

To volunteer for this ministry, contact Kay Davy at
967-9953 or call the church office at 967
-2297.

Soles4Souls shoe drive to benefit Haiti

We have collected 2400 Pairs of Soles4Souls

300 million pairs of shoes were thrown away last year, while the same number of children around the world have never owned a pair of shoes. It is estimated that Americans have 1.5 billion pairs of unused shoes lying in their closets.

Help the youth group at First Baptist Church collect shoes for Project Haiti. We're asking that you donate your lightly-used or new shoes for the less fortunate. We are partnering with Soles4Souls, a Nashville-based organization that distributes both new and used shoes worldwide.

Drop off your shoes anytime at the church during February. You can also give the to Jeff McNiell at his Houston Herald office or get in touch with any member of First Baptist Church.

If you come to First Baptist during the month of February, we challenge you to take your shoes off at the door to raise awareness and support the cause.

Thanks for your support!

 The Vision

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

As February grinds on, I want to thank you for your faithfulness to worship and for your perseverance in God's Work through our church. You have braved cold weather and bad road conditions to lead, promote, and undergird good programs ... great projects ... noble ministries ... this winter. I must thank you for all you have done for me and my family during Tileta's mother, Hilda's, final illness. The pace has been grueling, especially for Tileta. Her dear, Godly mother is now with the Lord and her loved ones in Heaven, but, as many of you know from your own experience, there is a "let-down" and a deep sadness after the death of a parent. We grieve, of
course
, not for the one who has gone on, but for ourselves. These friends get to go to Christ, and we have to stay and continue on. All of you have been so good and so understanding ... and so patient with us during this season of our "distraction." You have wrapped us in a cushion of love and compassion that has warmed us and helped us to bear it all. May God bless you ... this wonderful church; this great church ... my beloved home church! God has blessed our church in this New Year! Much necessary work has been accomplished; and our Sunday morning worship is a rich blessing. We had 209 in worship Sunday morning, February 21! Of course, we were helped by our fine friends, the "Blue Jackets," the young people of the Future Fanners of America ... they came as a chapter to worship and represent the values of their organization at FBC. They are a fine group, and we were glad to have them. I appreciate the good leadership of their Vocational Agriculture Instructor and Chapter Advisor, Brother Van Kirkwood. He is a Baptist pastor in our association and works hard to develop young people. I'll never forget a series of signs ... on the right of way of U.S. Highway 52 in Indiana ... five signs, about 500 yards apart. Each blue board had one verse of a little poem on it. . .if you read them in sequence as you passed, you got the message. The poem
said: "Future Fanners ... Turn the Sod ... and Never once ... Forget their God." Then the last sign said: "Rush County FFA Chapters welcome you." That compliment may not be so of
every FFA member, but I know from experience that it's true of lots of them.

Hang in there everybody ... Spring will come!

                                    Yours pastor loves you,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Letters from your Sunday School Teachers

 

 

              Welcome to Middle School Sunday School Class-Chattering, bickering, laughing, pouting, shouting, chaos, and occasional mayhem, 6th, 7th, and 8th graders competing for time.....                                                                                                                  

Some of the weekly lessons are readily accepted and learned; others leave a question of doubt.  What is not in doubt, is the biblical and spiritual knowledge that these pre-teens and teens already have can continue to gain! Those who have attended preschool and elementary Sunday School since they were toddlers are already cemented to a solid foundation of faith. Weekly Sunday School continues to strengthen this foundation.

Have you checked your foundation lately? Are there some cracks? Need a little "mortar"? If you haven't been attending Sunday School regularly, then maybe it's time to work on that foundation!

Can't decide which class is right for you? Come join us in the Middle School class! Donuts are appreciated-and provide your own earplugs!

                                                                                  Sunday School Teacher, FBC Houston
