*Invocation
O Lord our God, we
are so privileged to know you as our Heavenly Father. So many times we come to
worship you but without a confident faith in you. Forgive us when we doubt you
are listening to us or that you truly care or that you are even there. Today,
Lord, we ask that you build a right spirit within us full of hope and a
confident faith. In Jesus' name. Amen.

A Note from the Pulpit
Search Committee
The Search Committee had an organizational
meeting on June 29, 2010. Following summer break we met on September 23, 2010
to begin our work. You will find a chart posted to the left of the front exit
from the sanctuary showing the steps of the precess of calling a new minister that have thus far
been completed. The next major task of the Search Committee is the development
of a self-study which leads to the completion of a Church Profile. The Church
Profile is the document used to match our church with prospective ministers.
There is a great deal of work involved in developing the self-study and it is
essential that the resulting profile is an accurate reflection of our church
and congregation. This process is expected to take from September 2010 to May
2011. We hope to have a completed profile ready for review by our Regional
Minister, Rev. Shoesmith by May 2011 and submitted to
American Baptist Personnel Services in June 2011. In order to ensure accuracy,
the Search Committee will be coming to the congregation many times over the
next few months to gather pieces of information. Please be patient and assist
us by participating in our information gathering. If you have any questions,
please feel free to ask our Committee members:Nancy Marion, Lyle Conrad, Judi
Gibbs, Brittany Griffin, George Jensen, Greg Miller or
Barbara Stewart. Thank You.

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.
For your convenience hearing

God is.
