The Fall season is upon us. Children are returning to school and soon the dog-days of summer will end. With this new season comes many new ministries and changes here at First Baptist.

The first change I would like to mention is a sad one. We will be saying good-bye to two very dear friends of First Baptist. Ray and Phyllis Moncrief will be moving to Texas the beginning of September. We will honor them with a reception after worship on August 29^th to say thank you for their years of service and dedication to our Lord and the Church.

The next transition this Fall is the cancellation of the Casual @ 6 worship service. In consultation with the Staff, it was decided that the amount of energy it took to plan and participate in that worship service was not having the desired result. We are now looking at the possibility of a Bible study on Sunday evening’s beginning later in the month.

The Choir begins on September 8^th and Chris and Dick are hard at work picking and planning music that will enhance our worship experience. I look forward to having the choir back in the loft on Sunday September 12^th.

The children’s program “Saddle Ridge Ranch” begins on September 1^st for all children, kindergarten through 6^th grade. The program begins with a chuck wagon meal at 6p.m. and will end at 8p.m. There will be singing, learning and fun each Wednesday evening.

This is a small sampling of what is happening here at First Baptist. We invite everyone to undergird our ministry with prayer and to participate whenever possible.

In Christ,

Ken
