One Week to Say!
For 2 weeks we’ve prayed – asking ‘Lord, what is my/my family’s part in this project’?
This coming Sunday is the 1 week “To Say” –
‘I/my family can give this amount over the next 6 months for repurposing the Chapel.’
And if possible, ‘I/my family give this amount today.’
Please use the bulletin tear off and envelopes provided in the pew rack for this special offering this Sunday. In the
subsequent 6 months, please use your regular envelopes and notate gifts as Chapel Repurposing through “Bridge
to Tomorrow”.
Any funds given in excess of the need for Repurposing the Chapel shall remain in the Bridge To Tomorrow Fund
and be used for future building or capital improvement needs as determined by the church.

2017 Budget Proposal
Dear Church Family,
First Baptist Church has once again experienced the
blessing of God in 2016. We’ve experienced God’s
working again and again in our congregation. God has
worked through the generous giving of His people to exceed
our goals for this year’s budget.
As we look to the future, now is the time for us to commit
to our 2017 church budget. It reflects a 1.8% increase over
our 2016 budget. You will notice that our budget line items
are arranged to reflect the five purposes of the church:
Worship, Evangelism, Fellowship, Discipleship, and
Ministry. This serves as a reminder of our desire to be “A
Purpose Driven Church,” and of our desire “To Know
Christ and To Make Him Known.”
Please take a few moments to prayerfully consider the
proposed budget for 2017. A copy is inserted in this week’s
Clarion. It represents the combined ministry plans of over
40 committees and/or ministries and four full time
ministerial staff. A word of thanks is in order for those forty
some committees and/or ministries for their dedication and
hard work. Another word of thanks goes out to the
Stewardship Committee for their work in compiling the
budget and overseeing the finances of the church throughout
the year – Jody Singleton, Darlene Hicks, Jeffrey McCord,
Terry Scott, Alicia Williams, Andy Mitchell and John
Richburg.
The Stewardship Committee has already presented the
budget to the deacons who now recommend it to the church
body. We will discuss the proposed budget on October 26,
at 6:00 PM at our Quarterly Business Meeting. If there are
no major problems with the budget, a vote for approval will
be taken November 6, during the Morning Worship Service.
The stewardship giving of our church tells a lot about who
we are as disciples. It tells we believe in being a Christian
steward, that we believe in the local church, and that we all
desire to honor God through our giving.
May our light shine so others may see our good works and
glorify our Father who is in heaven.
In Jesus Name,
Jody Singleton Cecil Sanders
Stewardship Committee Chair Pastor

Church Family Ministry Opportunity
T he FBC Fall Festival is scheduled for Saturday, Octo-
ber 29 from 6:30 - 8:00 PM. This is a wonderful alter-
native to Halloween for our children as well as our commu-
nity. The vision of the Children’s Committee for this event
links to our strategy of CONNECT and COMMISSION.
This ministry connects our multi-generational church to
serve together and connect to one another. The vision also
unites us to reach our Jerusalem (Commission). Halloween
is known for its fascination and lure of death and evil. In
contrast, we will celebrate the life and rewards that come
from our Lord Jesus Christ with the picture from John 15 of
the vine and the branches.
Assistance is needed in the following areas: Provide Can-
dy; Trunk or Treat Host (decorate your trunk and pass out
candy); 5 Teams for Interactive Tents; Entrance Greeters;
Set up / Clean up teams; Prayer Warriors.
There will be a sign-up sheet in your Sunday School Folder
for you to commit to this ministry opportunity.
Thanks!
