    Our call to mercy and justice Health Care and the Faith

    Rev. Matthew Sturtevant


    Scripture: Matthew 25:31-46

    The World Mission Offering will be collected throughout the month of October. Your gift to the WMO makes you a crucial part of this global mission movement. Your gift will support the entire work of International Ministries missionaries, staff, projects and partners in 70 countries! When You Plant the Seed The World is Blessed!

    Childrens SabbathOctober 20
    Sponsored by the Children's Defense Fund, the National Observance of Children's Sabbaths Celebration is a way for faith communities to celebrate children as sacred gifts of the Divine, and provides the opportunity for houses of worship to renew and live out their moral responsibility to care, protect and advocate for all children. This celebration is a part of a broader children's movement that aims to unite communities and religious congregations of all faiths across the nation in shared concern for children and a common commitment to improving their lives and working for justice on their behalf. In that respect, each action is bigger, more powerful and more inspiring than the efforts of any one celebration. We will celebrate our first Childrens Sabbath as a community, along with other churches, synagogues, and mosques around the nation, on October 20.

    October Worship Series:

    ($3 suggested donation.) All proceeds go to Just Food-Douglas County food bank. A Place at the Table is a 2012 documentary film directed by Kristi Jacobson and Lori Silverbush, with appearances by Jeff Bridges, Raj Patel, and chef Tom Colicchio. The film, concerning hunger in the United States, was released theatrically in the United States on March 1, 2013. As of 2012, about 50 million Americans were food insecure. This was approximately 1 in 6 of the overall population, with the proportion of children facing food insecurity even higher at about 1 in 4. One in every two children receive federal food assistance. The film sees directors Kristi Jacobson and Lori Silverbush examine the issue of hunger in America, largely through the stories of three people suffering from food insecurity.

    Operation Christmas Child


    Since 1993, more than 100 million boys and girls in over 130 countries have experienced Gods love through the power of simple shoebox gifts from Operation Christmas Child.

First Baptist members who would like to assemble boxes on their own may bring them to our church between Nov. 1 and Nov. 13. Please remember to add $7 for shipping. Our church will be assembling at least 12 boxes, put together by the first and second grade Sunday School class. We would greatly appreciate donations for the $7 for each of those boxes. Make your check to First Baptist, with OCC in the memo line. The website is www.samaritanspurse.org-or e-mail or call Dawn Trent for more information. dctrent@att.net or 841-6865
