*Unison Prayer
In this Lenten season, O God, we come before you, asking for courage to
open our eyes. We want to see ourselves as you see us; the empty and barren
places, the halfhearted struggles, the faint stirrings of new life. We come,
trusting your grace, waiting for your illuminating word, longing for your
healing light. Do not let us be blind to your presence, shine upon us, O God,
and make our paths clear. This we pray in the name of Jesus, the Christ. Amen.

and the glory forever. Amen.

Welcome to First Baptist
Church of Penn Yan. We are glad you joined us and hope you’ll feel at
home, as we celebrate our faith and praise God together. In the pew in front of
you, you will find a “get-to-know-you” card. Please take a moment to fill it
out and place it in the offering plate.
We invite you to bring your children to the
nursery during the service for a safe and Christian environment so that you may
more fully experience Worship. Following today’s service please come to enjoy
coffee, refreshments and
fellowship in the Great Room.
Exit doors are located at the rear of the
sanctuary, at the front and out the foyer, and at the rear of the building at
the kitchen and stairwell.

Need Him enough
