Last week I had the privilege of assisting in worship as a part
of the worship planning and leadership team at the
Cooperative Baptist Fellowship's General Assembly in
Houston. This gathering of 1500+ like-minded Baptists from
around the country was a wonderful time of fellowship,
missions, worship, and celebration. You would have felt
right at home, as worship included songs from across the
ages and from around the world, much like worship here at
FBC. I've been on a steering committee that has been
working on this since last October, and I thank you for the
opportunity & time to plan, attend, and help lead these
services. To learn more, head over

Dear First Baptist Church Staff and Friends,
We appreciate the lovely plant in remembrance of our
mother, Doris.
We have always enjoyed the Lengefeld memories of FBC
from our mother’s childhood, family weddings and with the
newest generations of Lengefelds. We are grateful for the
prayers and support for our family and for ongoing support
of Uncle David as he now inherits the Lengefeld Legacy.
The Lengefeld Family
Doris first came to know Christ at FBC. She always said
He was her best friend. We were married there and have
many good memories of the church and family of Christ
there.
Thank you, Jere
