Dear Church Family, We are constantly trying to improve our ministries here at First Baptist. There are some timing issues with our Wednesday night program that we have the need to address. After receiving input, we have identified two areas we would like to improve. First, we would like to start our Bible Study times earlier for all age groups. We are proposing they start at 6 p.m. This will allow us to address the second need which is to start Worship Choir practice earlier. The following schedule is a trial schedule that we would like to try for a month beginning October 15

th. We will then discuss its effectiveness in the November family

meeting on November 12th. Thank you for your prayers and support as we

continue to move forward together as a church. 24/7, Pastor Nathan

Needed for fall festival:

Candy and Prizes, Bottled Water The Fall Festival is October 26 from 5:00 –

7:00 pm. This year’s event will be presented

differently. There will be several familiar

events and some NEW ones as well. It is the

hope that the changes will be enjoyable to all.

One of the additions that I have enjoyed

putting together is the Bible Tents. This will

allow the children to not only have fun but

hear the gospel as well. Another change is

that the Trunk or Treat will be available the

entire evening. One of the deletions is we will

not be having the chili cook-off this year. I

know that this will be disappointing to some

but we will instead have grilled hotdogs and

chips as our food items as well as some other

yummy treats. The atmosphere that we

wanted to create this year was one of a

Carnival. Who doesn’t like going to a carnival?

We need all the help we can get to be

successful. We will need 10 families or

friends to provide a trunk; we also have 10 or

so games that will need to have volunteers

stationed at. There is also a need for

someone to cook hotdogs. Please know I am

thrilled to serve as your Minister of Music and

Children. It is a joy to get to be at First Baptist

Geneva. If you have any questions, please

stop by or call me.

In Him,

Bryan

Attention Parents: We will have a special Children’s Service each

night of the Magnificent Monday Nights.

You may drop your child off in the Fellowship Hall at 6:15 PM.
