Movie Night for Everyone!
Sunday, February 22 @ 7pm
Next Sunday we will
be showing the movie “Fireproof.” We have been advertising this as a tool for
your marriage. However, in listening to reactions to the movie on the Family
Life Network, we are hearing that many singles are also liking this film for
what it can show singles about qualities to look for when dating etc. So,
everyone is invited to attend, bring friends, spouses, anyone you think might
benefit from this message. It would be fun to bring a snack to share too!
Council of Churches

I can’t express how overwhelmed I was by the

e-mails, and cake and ice cream for my birthday. You all made it so special!
Thank You!

Celebrating 400 Years!
Can you imagine that
Baptists have been around that long? The First Baptist congregation was founded
in Amsterdam in 1609. So this is a celebration year for Baptist.
To assist in that
celebration, the Baptist History and Heritage Society offers two books (at 20%
discount) that present our shared history and its relevance for contemporary
Baptist life.
Co-published with
Mercer University Press, these books focus on Baptist people and Baptist
values.
Baptist in Prison: Baptist marched straight into human history into
the jails of England and early America defending believer’s baptism, religious
liberty, and the separation of church and state. Keith Durso’s book, No Armor
for the Back: Baptist Prison Writings, 1600s-1700s (292 pp) captures these
developments and will make readers thankful to God for the serious sacrifices
endured by our Baptist ancestors. List Price: $23; Our Price: $18.40
Baptists Heroes: Who are our heroes of Baptist history? Julie
Whidden Long’s Portraits of Courage: Stories of Baptist Heroes (127pp) tells
the stories of fourteen courageous Baptist, male and female, black and white,
who lived in various countries and centuries. Designed especially for older
children and younger youth, the book emphasizes the biographical dimension of
the Baptist past and highlights personal contributions of the fourteen heroes.
List Price:$16; Our Price: $12.80.

and power as they seek to have a closer relationship with you. ~ Amen.
