First Baptist Church

This Sunday is Sanctity of Life Sunday. We want to express special gratitude to the Pregnancy Choices crisis pregnancy center, located at 1759 East Highway 54, here in Linton. Our church has supported Pregnancy Choices for many years. The women and men of Pregnancy Choices put in countless hours to provide a positive alternative for young women facing an unexpected pregnancy. They provide counseling and support in the form of supplies for babies and expectant mothers. You will never be judged or pressured, and you will always find help and a sympathetic ear. You can contact Pregnancy Choices by phone at: 812-847-4611, or find them online at: gcpchoices.com.

This Wednesday, December 22, we will have a special Candlelight Christmas Service at 6:30 pm in the church sanctuary. The sanctuary will be dimmed and lit with candles, with the Christmas carols and the Christmas message all shown on our screens. All the carols will be accompanied by classical guitar. Pastor David will also be telling how the story of St. Nicholas began and giving chocolate coins to any children present.

On the Welcome Center there are envelopes for the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International Missions. Lottie Moon was a single lady missionary to China over 100 years ago. She wrote letters challenging American churches to send more support and workers to mission fields. After her death, an annual offering for world missions was named in her honor. This is a free will offering, and every bit of the money raised goes directly to the support of international missionaries. Donations for the Lottie Moon Offering will be collected through Sunday, December 19th.

This Wednesday at 6:30 pm in our Bible Study series Getting to Know the Bible Better we will be looking at the book of Colossians. Our weekly prayer time will follow.
