Welcome to First Baptist Church. 
It's hard to believe tht Christmas is here again.  What a wonderful opportunity it is for God's people to gather together in celebration of the coming of the Christ child.     There are seven reasons to attend First Baptist Church during the Christmas holidays.

The Bible says, "For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given: and the government will be ujpon His shoulder and His name will be called...Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."  His name is the name above every name.  Jesus Christ came that you and I may be forgiven and experience eternal life.  Do you know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior?  Does He know you as one of His children?
My wife and I would like to express to our wonderful church family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  God bless you as together we open our hearts and mind to the two-edged Sword of God's Word.

Because of Calvary,
Bro. Hale - Ps. 16:11
