First Baptist is Getting New Windows
We thought it would be fun to watch the thermometer rise as we strive to reach our goal for the purchase of our new windows. We are at 38.52% and we thank God for the anonymous donors and others who have made this possible.
If you feel moved to contribute to this project, donations can be placed in the offering plate or see Jill Albright.

The Mission Board thanks everyone who donated soup for “Souper Bowl Sunday”. A total of 241 cans were collected. 181 cans were given to Meals on Wheels and 61 cans were given to Feeding the Spirit! THANK YOU!
RETIRED MINISTERS & MISSIONARIES OFFERING
Your support of RMMO makes it possible to continue to provide emergency assistance and a Thank You check to all who are eligible. The offering supports those who have devoted 15 or more years of their lives to God’s service.
Thank You!
