Upward Basketball

In partnership with Main Street Baptist, First Baptist has an Upward Basketball program. Registration and evaluations will be in the Fall 2009, practice begins in Winter, and the games are Winter-Spring 2010. A printable registration form will be available on-line. On our website, you can find photos of the 2008 and 2009 Upward Basketball Seasons. For more information on the Upward Basketball program, visit the national website. Volunteers are needed to help with coaching, devotions, refereeing, etc. Contact: Bill Conn or Kevin Lowrie.

Food Pantry

Your continued help is prayerfully sought. Food is distributed the fourth Wednesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. Volunteers are needed to help with paperwork, distribute food bags, assist in carrying food bags to cars, etc. Contact: Mavis Broome. Items currently needed are:

Money Creamy Peanut Butter Crackers Tuna Ramien Noodles 2 lb jars of jelly Spaghetti Spaghetti Sauce Dry Beans

SUITCASES, ETC.

Do you have some suitcases, duffle bags, or back packs that are good but just taking up storage space? Children in foster care would find any of these items useful. These children could use the cases to put their belongings in while they are being moved to a foster home. Leave your good, clean, useable cases under the table outside the church office area. They will be delivered to the local office of Dependent Children's Services. For more information, contact Pat Ramey.  

SONSHINE MINISTRY (Homebound Ministry)

The Sonshine Ministry (Homebound Ministry) reaches out to church members and other friends in their homes or in care facilities. Some of the activities include visitation, delivery of Sunday School and other materials, celebration of birthdays, and communion. The Sonshine Ministry of the church also sends a weekly copy of the publication "Home Touch" to shut-ins. Copies are also available on the table at the back of the sanctuary and on the tables outside the front sanctuary doors for anyone who would like to have one. Contact: Terresa Etter.

Gifts to the Soldiers

We have decided to continue with the gifts to soldiers. It is requested that donations consist of phone cards or money to purchase phone cards. This will enable us to serve more soldiers by putting our money into a usable item rather than postage. It has also been emphasized that they always appreciate cards and letters. For additional information, please contact Dr. Michael Colegrove
