Midweek Gathering: The Wednesday Night Place To Be

First Baptist Church is the place to be on Wednesday night. All through the summer we have had a devoted group assembling on Wednesday evening for our Midweek Gathering. As our student groups have been meeting off campus for Bible study and recreational activities, those of us meeting on campus have enjoyed a varied schedule of inspirational music, devotional messages, and mission reports.

Next Wednesday we resume our full program of multi-generational activities on Wednesday night. Our children’s choirs, AWANA groups, and student groups are meeting on campus. Our Midweek Gathering for adults begins each week in Chipley Hall after dinner at approximately 5:45.

During our Midweek Gathering we share in a season of prayer for our church and our extended family members. We enjoy inspirational music from a variety of groups and individuals. And I share a relevant devotional message aimed to equip and encourage us in our daily walk with Christ.

Wednesday night is also a great time to introduce new friends and neighbors to our First Baptist Family. The casual atmosphere, the good food, and the variety of activities provide a great opportunity for getting acquainted with new folks and building stronger relationships with other members of our church family.

Wednesday nights are my favorite time of the week and our Midweek Gathering is the Wednesday night place to be.

This Sunday we are looking at Psalm 98 and how our music in worship really is “More Than a Song.” I look forward to seeing you as we gather for worship and Bible study.
