World Mission Offering Prayer of Dedication:

Dear God, we present these World Mission Offering gifts, which help make it possible to share the good news of Christ around the world. As Samuel responded to your call by saying, “Speak, for your servant is listening,” so we have heard how our missionaries are faithfully serving because of our support – people like Mike & Becky Mann, Bill & Ann Clemmer, Jorge Damasceno, Deliris Carrion Rosa and Mario Morales. We ask that you continue to empower them as they minister in Thailand, South Sudan, Bolivia, the United Kingdom and Haiti. Empower us also, as we Hear the Call to tell others about Jesus Christ through our words and actions, wherever we are. In his name we pray. 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.

 

You are invited 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.


 

A lie can travel half way around the world
