TeamKID Swamp John’s Fundraiser
Posted by: | Comments
Our Missions project this year is supporting one of the local troops that is heading to Iraq. There are several families connected through the church that have family members, such as sons, daughters, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, etc. that are headed to Iraq in the next month or so. We, as TeamKID have chosen to support and send boxes of goods to these soldiers to show them that we care about them and also to show the love of God through what we are doing for them. So in order fund this project we are having a fundraiser. Swamp Johns will be at our church, on March 27, 2010. Please come out for a great night of fellowship and help our local Missions project to support our troops!

“Dare To Love”
Posted by: | Comments
Come be a part of our new young adult married small group bible study here at the church. We will be offering this life changing Bible study on Sunday mornings at 9:30 am and on Wednesday nights at 7 p.m, for 10-12 weeks, beginning February 14th. This study is based on the world renowned movie, “Fireproof.” In a home there are several different relationships that make up what is called a family! However there is only one relationship in the home that is to be the foundation that keeps the whole family together! The Marriage relationship! In the real world when life throws us it’s many curve balls that cause many hardships and difficult situations, the relationship that has to endure most of the strain and stress is the one between husband and wife! In this day and time there are too many marriages that are “burning to the ground” so to speak and that is why we feel that it is necessary to do everything we can to reach out and offer with God’s Word a “fireproof” plan for the marriage! We have called this study, “DARE TO LOVE!” With this thought being the entire purpose: “Dare to love your spouse like Christ! Through Christ! Unconditionally!” If you are a young adult couple that is married or married with children or know someone who is in this time and season of their lives, invite them and come along with them to grow closer to God, and closer to your spouses that God has given you! We hope to see you on Valentine’s Day or before!
God Bless,
-FBC St. Joseph
Peter Lumpkins Speaking at FBC
Posted by: | CommentsPeter Lumpkins, author of the book Alcohol Today: Abstinence in an Age of Indulgence, will be speaking at First Baptist Church of St. Joseph on Sunday, August 16th at 10:30 a.m. Below you will find some information about Peter and his book. Check out the info and come and see us!

Should believers bring on the booze?
Is the moderate use of alcohol for recreational purposes a way Christians can reach today’s culture? Some believers in this postmodern era of indulgence say an attack on the prevalence of social drinking amounts to legalism worthy of the Pharisees.
Dealing with one of the most debated issues in Christendom today, Peter Lumpkins explores the various views on drinking beverage alcohol. In Alcohol Today: Abstinence in an Age of Indulgence, he dissects them with a surgeon’s precision and then stitches them together to form a devastating argument against any recreational use of this mind-altering drug.
Lumpkins blends an exhaustive scholarly study with courageous conviction and reasonable obedience as he strikes a blow for total abstinence from alcohol. His definitive book is the first of its kind in many decades and is sure to stir debate from a wide variety of sectors.
Peter Lumpkins has dealt skillfully and biblically with one of the real hot issues in our land today. He has carefully examined the scriptural texts and gives a clear case for how committed believers are to approach this subject. He has convincingly presented the case for abstinence as the scriptural pattern for this issue.
–Dr. James T. Draper, Jr., president emeritus, LifeWay Christian Resources
Peter Lumpkins is a Southern Baptist minister living in West Georgia. For more than 20 years, Peter served as a pastor in Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia. Presently he serves as editor of a developing small-group Bible study series. Peter has degrees in religion and philosophy (B.A.), theology (M.Div.) and expository preaching (D.Min.). He also completed graduate work in bioethics. He writes a popular blog, SBC Tomorrow, which can be found at www.peterlumpkins.com.

Hey kids have you been on a camping adventure this summer? Maybe you have and maybe you haven’t , but I can assure you that you have not experienced a summer camp quite like this one! This year we have decided to select a kids summer camp format for our “Vacation Bible School.” We at First Baptist Church St. Joseph are so excited to see what God is going to do in the lives of the student “campers” this year in and through the teaching of His Word! We look forward to this great opportunity to share our ”FAITH” we have in Christ Jesus with the “campers” of this year’s VBS through God’s perfect Word that was written for all to hear! We look forward to the fellowship that we will have with them through the eating of some tasty camp “FOOD!” And last but definitely not least we look forward to the “FUN” that we will have with them playing all the camp games that we have scheduled to play! So come on out and join in all the fun that we are going to have in Christ beginning with our “Family Fun Day” on the 21st of June. This is a Saturday and the festivities will begin at 6 pm! This will be the kickoff and the pre-registration for our kids camp, and also we will be grilling hamburgers and hotdogs for the community that day! As if that is not enough our youth will also be having a car wash to raise money for their summer trip this year, and who doesn’t need that? Our vacation bible school kids camp will begin the next monday on the 22nd of June and go through the 26th and end with a commencement service for those who attended our camp. We will close the camp with a pool party at the Loretto pool on saturday! The times for this will be announced at the kids camp! So whatever you do, do not miss our VBS this year its gonna “ROCK”- like JESUS!
