YOUTH MORNING PRAYER BREAKFAST Monday, May 18
Dear Prayer Ministry, Our family felt the power of your prayers throughout our mother’s battle with cancer and passing into Heaven. Thank you for remembering us in our time of need. We are continuing to trust Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. He is our source of comfort and peace. Donna Taylor
If you know of any church members graduating from college, please let the church office know (843-2701).
Dear First Baptist Church members, pastor, and staff, During our long treatment of chemotherapy and intestinal bacteria, we felt your prayers and the presence of God in a very special way. It was these that sustained us through the difficult period and gave us special comfort. We really appreciated the many cards, excellent food, and many text messages and calls followed by support when needed. Ella and Hines Cronin
