          Local Outreach Opportunity        
The FBC Mission Team has put together door hanger bags with a gospel tract, gift notepad with FBC logo, and brochure invitation to FBC. The bags will be delivered to 200 of the newest homes in the Eden area targeting people who have not found a church home. Maps highlighting assigned streets will be available. We will go out in teams of two, leaving the church after the Fellowship Breakfast on Saturday, March 16, about 10:00 am. Anyone willing to join us is encouraged to come.

          WMU - Mission Moments
We are about our Wednesday Night Missions Groups. We learn about missions, pray for missions and do missions as we learn about Jesus and sharing His love with others. These programs are proven to help children and youth have servant hearts and thy tend to be less selfish and less self-centered as they serve and help others. We appreciate parents and grandparents bringing their children!

           Media Center
In the corner of the Media center/Library by the office door there is a section titled "Book Nook Share". These books, CD's & DVD's are for anyone that are members of our church. You do not have to check them out or return them. Just Enjoy!  

          Audio Visual Ministry
  The Audio Visual Team is greatly in need for assistance with this critical ministry of our church. The training to operate the sound board and/or the visual display is very simple. The time involved each month is on a rotating basis with other members and is minimal. Two or more individuals would be a great help with this ministry. Please contact Greg Wright or the church office if you interested/willing to serve on this ministry. Assistance is needed with the 10:00 am service on Sunday mornings.
          A New Portrait
    A portrait of former Pastor, Dr. Craig Bowman and his wife Terri, has been placed in the vestibule from the portico. Pastor Craig was called to be our pastor at First Baptist Church in April 2007 and served faithfully until his retirement in June 2021.  His outstanding leadership guided us in all facets of church and community life. First Baptist members have benefited greatly from Pastor Craig's Biblical scholarship as evidenced in his sermons, Bible study, and as well as committee meetings. Perhaps two of his best qualities are compassion and comfort which we all have witnessed every single day.
