“All In Day” in Sunday School
This week we will be setting our goals for “All
In Day” in Sunday School on March 1st. Each
class should turn in their goal with their records.
Our strategy is simple. Each member and prospect
will receive 2 contacts before March 1st. We are
encouraging no excuses. Something special will be
done in each class or department to reach people.
We are going to put everything we have into this
high attendance effort. Make your plans now to be
“All In” with us!

Thank You Notes
Dear Dr. Bush and Church Family,
I want to thank all of you for your love,
kindness, prayers, cards, and visits to Shellie
while she was a resident of River Oaks.
I also want to thank all of you for reaching
out to me and my family with love, food and
tender care during Shellie’s illness and death.
She loved this church very much as I do.
Jimmie Escher
Dear Church Family,
I have been so over-whelmed with your
thoughtfulness during my hip surgery. Thank
you so much for your prayers, calls, cards,
meals, and words of encouragement.
My hip replacement was a huge success!
God is so good! Please continue the prayers
as my hip continues to heal and get stronger. What a privilege and blessing it is to belong to such a loving church family.
Jeanie Robbins
Dear First Baptist Church Family,
Thank you for all the prayers and cards
during my time of loss. I have much comfort
that my mom is now with the Lord in Heaven.
