For many of us Memorial Day weekend marks the beginning of summer. Multiple summer activities present opportunities for recreation, travel, and family visits.
Our First Baptist Family is entering the busiest season of the year. I looked at the church calendar today and almost became dizzy. In addition to our weekly opportunities for worship and Bible study, during the next 10 weeks we are offering numerous opportunities for connecting through fellowship, discipleship, ministry, or mission involvement: Alaska Cruise, Chapel Choir Mystery Tour, The Boomerang Express (VBS), Children’s Sport’s Clinic, Russia Mission Trip, Student Life Camp, World Changers, Children’s Camp, College Mission Trip, Men’s Mission Trip.
That means a lot of our folks are going to be busy, so busy that if we are not careful, we will lose sight of our commitments and our purpose. In order to make the most of our summer opportunities…camps, retreats, mission trips, recreation, and personal travels….while staying connected to church family, ministry initiatives, worship and Bibles study, I invite you to Tee It Up This Summer by offering to God your Time, your Talent, and your Tithe.
- Time: Summer is busy. Dedicate your time…your calendar, your schedule, and your priorities…to fulfilling your God-given purpose.
- Talent: Serve God by offering the best of your talents and your spiritual gifts in both the church and the community.
- Tithe: Dedicate all of your assets and resources to God by bringing the first 1/10 of your income into the “storehouse” to support God’s work in our community and in our world.
Join us this Sunday for our Combined Service of Worship on our annual Senior Recognition Day as we celebrate God’s goodness and grace with our graduates, as we study the Bible together, and as we encourage one another in our journey with Christ.
