The Financial Aspect of Ministry:
“WE MAKE THE INVESTMENT”
2 Corinthians 9:6-15
But this I say: He who sows sparingly will
also reap sparingly, and he who sows
bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let
each one give as he purposes in his heart, not
grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a
cheerful giver.2 Corinthians 9:6-7 (NKJV)

Parents of rising 3rd grade through completed 5th
graders:
The Centrikid Camp deposit deadline of February 14th is fast approaching. Please contact me if
your child will be attending Centrikid Camp this year. I have to
reserve a spot by February 15th. You can give me the deposit after the 14th if needed. Spots go quickly and I want to make sure
that your child has the opportunity to experience the awesome week of camp. Centrikid Camp points to
Jesus at every chance. Every morning and evening during
worship, every single game on the recreation field or at track times, their goal and mine is that no kid
leaves camp without a life-changing encounter with Jesus.

Dimes for Missions
The purpose of this offering is to remind us that missions, local and foreign, are a year-round operation. For many of us we only consider financial support for missions at designated times, September and December. This offering does not replace or supplement our yearly fund drives, but it keeps the needs of our mission programs in front of us every week. I cannot imagine these programs not needing additional funds throughout the year. This week our total was $52.93 with just a little over half of the classes participating. Giving also included pennies, nickels, quarters and a dollar.
Dear First Baptist Church,
Your prayers, caring thoughts and
concerns during my right leg and
foot circulation problems were very
special.
The hospital visit and prayers by
Pastor Mike and Thomas was very
timely and much appreciated.
God Bless,
Jim Brodmerkel
