ANNOUNCEMENTS

First Baptist Church Officers, Committees, and Volunteers for 2011: Our new church committees for 2011 began Feb. 6. The list of committees — available on this website — is based on the Church Survey Sheets that members submitted, reviewed by the Nominating Committee, put into our recommendations and presented for approval at the Jan. 19 business meeting. We should mention that not all requests may have been honored. Many times, committees are limited by size, the type of work to be done, time constraints, terms required by the by-laws, if physical work needs to be done and the need for certain skills.

There can be just simple human error, too. When discussing many committees, names, phone calls, reviewing our notes and developing the finished list, as careful as we try to be, an error can happen.

So we ask that you accept our 2011 Church Committee list and list of volunteers with the same Christian love and desire to serve our Lord that we, the members of the Nominating Committee, put into it. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact one of the Nominating Committee members.

DEACONS CORNER

 

Dear Church Family,

Part of a deacon's "job" is to look after his parish. A parish is 13 or 14 families a deacon is asked to look after and tend to their needs and concerns.

Below is a list of the 16 deacons for 2011 and their parishes. The families are in alphabetical order.

You should be contacted by your deacon sometime in the next month or so. He may call, send a card or letter, visit or talk with you before or after a service. We are trying to establish relationships, so anyone in need or with a concern will feel comfortable turning to his or her deacon.

Regardless of the list to the right, you may go to any deacon or minister for help. The parish list is designed to empower, not limit.

Now you know who you can call or talk to when you need to reach out to your Christian
family. A deacon's service revolves around helping those in our church as well as those in the community. The parishes help us help those in our church better by allowing us to establish relationships. My hope is, as relationships grow, the need for someone to call a deacon will disappear. Your deacon will already know.


Your brother in Christ,
— Ron Allman
