First Baptist Church had begun our first GriefShare group. We would love you to join us if you have lost a loved one. Everyone walks their own personal path during and after a loss, but what a blessing to know that you are not alone. Ever. This group will meet once a week for 13 weeks at First Baptist Church. Our first meeting began on January 19th. It is not too late to join. Please contact the church office for more information.

Sunday, February 2nd is the Super Bowl, the BIG game. But the Sunday School children want to remind you that it is also the Souper Bowl of Caring. Many will be having parties and enjoying the game, and we’d like to take time to think of those that are hungry and in need. The children will be serving delicious soup on Sunday 2/2 during Fellowship and we will be collecting monetary donations to support My Brother’s Table in Lynn. They serve lunch and dinner Monday through Friday and one meal per day on weekends. In addition to serving meals seven days a week, MBT delivers meals to home bound individuals, participates in a family dinner program, provides meals to at risk seniors, and hosts a free weekly medical clinic. Last year we were able to raise $500. Our goal is to match that again this year. We hope you’ll bring your appetite and give generously.
Thank you,

Teddy Bear Sunday
February 9, 2020
February 9, 2020
A bright spot in February! Please be sure to join us for worship on Sunday, February 9th, for our annual Teddy Bear Sunday! New stuffed animals will be collected for Middlesex Human Services program’s family shelters. While homelessness is difficult for the whole family, the children involved often needed some extra TLC. Handing them a soft stuffed animal to hug is so helpful.
We’ve collected a wide assortment of critters over the years, everything from aardvarks to bears, to fish, to lions, to zebras. So use your imagination and bring a furry friend to donate along with a human friend to share in this uplifting service. Our dear friend, Dick Rogers, former Director of Bristol Lodge Middlesex Human Services, will join us to read “In the Company of Bears” during children’s time. Then the children will be set loose to collect all the animals from the congregation. What a feel good day!
