Mid-week Announcements on September 29, 2021

1) Prayer Meeting next Wednesday, October 6^th – Join us next Wednesday at 6:30 PM as we gather for an in-person prayer meeting as a church family. We meet to cast our burdens on God, make known our needs and requests, sing songs of praise, and hear a brief encouragement from God’s word.

2) Celebration of the Lord’s Supper Sunday, October 3^rd – Lord willing, we plan to celebrate the Lord’s Supper this coming Sunday. To help us prepare our hearts and relationships for this celebration, check out this article.

3) 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]).

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 –The Bruised Reed, by Richard Sibbes
