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.

The Vision

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,           

I have asked you to help me with several things involving the church and ministry since I have been your pastor. Today I feel more strongly about my request to you than ever. I pray that God will move your heart to be certain to be in the morning worship service of our church at 10:30am, September 12. Mrs. Cindy Winters will be speaking during that time, and I want all of you to come, and bring as many others with you as you can. :Most of you remember that on Sunday morning, March 8, 2009 Dr. Fred Winters, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Maryville, Illinois, was murdered in his own pulpit as he was preaching God's Word. A stranger, evidently with a grudge against God, church, religion, or ministers, walked down the aisle and shot the pastor point-blank with a high-caliber pistol. Dr. Winters was taken to Barnes – Jewish Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Brother Fred Winters was a very close personal friend of mine. I first met him when he attended the church I pastored in St. Louis. At that time, Brother Fred was a seminary student and was dating the one who would become his wife, Miss Cindy Jackson, who was in our church and part of our youth group. I participated in Fred's ordination and was part of his and Cindy's wedding. I preached several times in his church. The death of Pastor Fred Winters ... leaving Cindy a widow and his two young daughters fatherless has been one of the most traumatic, painful events in my life. During the days that followed her husband's sudden, tragic death, Cindy appeared on numerous national TV network and cable channels as she was interviewed by news persons. Every time, she was candid about her pain and grief, and yet glorified Christ who has defeated death and evil once and for all on the Cross ... even such evil as this. Without any exception, her testimony to the world was winsome and flawless.

I have asked Mrs. Winters to speak and share her heart and testimony with our church. I want you to come and hear her gracious heart and her powerful commitment to the Lord ship of Jesus Christ. You will be moved mightily.

Please be here on the day she comes, both to hear the story and how God has worked ... and also, to show support and comfort to a marvelous Christian lady. I promise you won't be disappointed.

                                                      Brother Howell
