HAPPY NEW YEAR 2023!! Praying that it will be a year of peace and blessings for us all. The Sweetheart Banquet is right around the corner. Preparations are already underway. Thursday, February 9, is the date and this year’s theme is “Bluebonnets and Valentines”. The menu will be BBQ pulled pork, sausage, cole slaw, potato salad, baked beans, rolls and dessert. Mark your calendars and join us for a special evening of great food and wonderful entertainment. You don’t want to miss it. For $10.00 ticket information, call Diane Cooley 903-467-6335.
TEAM KIDS is in full swing again after the holidays. Each Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. we see happy faces, empty stomachs, and minds eager to learn about Jesus. There is dinner, Bible study and recreation for first through fifth graders. If you know a child who would like to attend, POC Elementary has information or you can visit the Face Book page for First Baptist Church POC. Transportation is available. Every child needs to Learn God’s word and fellowship with others. Enroll your child today.
Youth (sixth through twelfth graders) also meet on Wednesday at 5:30 if they want dinner and 6:00 if not. Our Youth Minister, Bro. Raymond Grant, is in charge of this age group. Besides Bible study and recreation, they participate in community service projects and attend church camp in the summer, among other things. All are welcome.
Samaritan’s Purse is an all year, ongoing project. Christmas boxes filled with gifts are sent to children in over 100 countries around the world. Items are collected and stored until it’s time to fill the boxes. Meetings are held throughout the year to make items to include as gifts. As you shop, look for items on clearance that are small enough to fit in the boxes (i.e. bar soap, combs, brushes, socks, small toys, t-shirts, flip flops, sewing kits, small tool sets, school supplies, material, yarn, crochet hooks, colors, etc).
Donations of money are also needed to cover the cost of sending the packages around the world. Thank you for supporting this wonderful cause.
FBC also collects all year for the POC Food Pantry. Any non-perishable food items are accepted. There are baskets in our foyer waiting to be filled. This is a much needed ministry in POC. Many families and individuals are in need of a helping hand.
We are waiting to welcome you to any of our activities. Come join us. In addition to those mentioned already, we have:
Sunday school for adults and children 10;00 A.M.
Church 11:00
Bible Study (women 4:00 & men 7:00) Tuesday
