Wednesday Nights Are Good for the Soul


Wednesday nights at First Baptist are good for the soul.  As our student groups have been meeting off campus for Bible study and recreational activities, in Chipley Hall our adults have enjoyed a diverse schedule of inspirational music, devotional messages, and mission reports.

Next Wednesday September 7 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.     

This fall we have a great schedule of topics and programs scheduled for Wednesday nights. During a typical 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 message aimed to equip and encourage us in our daily walk with Christ.

Wednesday night is also a great time to invite new friends and neighbors to get acquainted with our First Baptist Family.  The casual atmosphere, the good food, and the multi-generational activities provide a great format for introducing new folks to life at First Baptist.

Wednesday night is my favorite time of the week.  I think it is because the round tables and the relaxing atmosphere enable us to dig deeper into Christian faith and practice.  If you are not already a regular Wednesday participant, why don’t you come and join us, and you might discover that Wednesday nights are good for the soul. 

This Sunday we are exploring Deuteronomy 6:1-9 and Matthew 22:36-38 as we talk about Discovering Your Soul Purpose.  I look forward to seeing you this Sunday as we gather for worship and Bible study.
