Sunday, October 6
Following Worship – 3 pm
Our First Baptist Church family serves and loves others in Jesus’ name on many days throughout the year but we celebrate being able to serve together on World Communion Sunday, October 6 as a way to share in ministry with our community partners and those in our church family who are homebound who can easily feel forgotten. During worship we will celebrate Missions Sunday as we observe World Communion Sunday with brothers and sisters around the globe. Just as God shares grace with us gathered around a table, we will gather to share lunch together following worship and then will have projects and activities for all ages and abilities to serve together. Sign Ups by September 27 receive a Share & Serve T-shirt! Some project spaces limited. Please contact Amy Grizzle Kane with questions, amy@fbcgso.org.
