More than a Song

Ephesians 5:19 encourages us to “speak to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs.” Our First Baptist Family enjoys outstanding music in worship services and concerts throughout the year. But in August, the rafters ring as we share in worship and as we host our annual August Concert Series.

To me, the music of the church is the most inspirational music in the world, primarily because of its powerful message. The music of our faith transcends style and performance as it nurtures and fuels the soul.

The theme of our sermon series in August is More than a Song. Each Sunday we will consider some of the Bible passages that inspired the songs we sing and we will sing songs that bring faith, hope, and joy to our lives.

In addition to our August Concerts, we are looking forward to Back to School Sunday and Blessing of the Backpacks on Sunday morning August 22. On that Sunday afternoon, we will share in our annual Beach Baptism Service at 4 p.m. at 501 Panferio Drive. If you or a member of your family have recently made a commitment to Christ, please contact me or one of our ministers to begin preparing for baptism.

August is a time of re-connecting after the busyness of summer. Invite a friend to join you as we gather for worship, Bible study, and More than a Song.
