Announcement

Mid-week Announcements on September 22, 2021

1) Elder Talk on Social Media and the church (Part 1 & 2) – On September 8^th and 15^th we discussed the topic of social media and the church. For those who missed it and wanted to view the talk, they are available online: Part 1 and Part 2.

2) Disaster Relief Volunteer Opportunity – Our Disaster Relief Team has been called out to serve in Wilmington, DE following the damage caused by Hurricane Ida.  Flood Recovery work is being scheduled on multiple weekends as your schedule permits. First Baptist Church members are invited to participate if you are at least 18 years or older that would like to volunteer, should please contact Tanya Joy for more details ([email protected]).

3) Pray for the family of Walter De Marr and Michael Booher – Walt, a longtime member of FBUCM, died this past week. His funeral is this afternoon at Brinsfield Funeral Home. We also encourage you to pray for Debbie Booher and her family (former members) as Michael recently died. 1 Thessalonians 4:13 “But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope.”

4) Memorizing Romans 8 Together Challenge: Romans 8 is jam-packed with glorious truths about God good for us to dwell on and memorize. As our church works through Romans 8 this Fall (see Sermon Card), we wanted to offer a Scripture memory challenge to our church as a way to hide God’s word in our hearts. Beginning September, we have 13 weeks to memorize all of Romans 8 (which has 39 verses). Find a friend to memorize with or do it with your family! For a helpful tool, check out biblememory.com. If you prefer to go at your own pace, go for it! For those who find it helpful to have a plan, here you go:

5) Book Recommendations – Overcoming Sin and Temptation, by John Owen (edited by Kelly Kapic and Justin Taylor)

6) Giving We encourage you to continue to faithfully give as a way to sustain the gospel ministry at FBCUM and as a means for us to care for those in need as a church family. You can give online or mail in your offering to the church office. Church members who have a benevolence request, please contact the church office at [email protected].

If you have any questions, please contact the church office.
