Octobera Truck-or-Treat event for the kids. From 5:00 to 7:00 pm on Saturday, October 31st, the FBCJ parking lot will be filled with trucks decorated for Halloween and visitors will be able to trick-or-treat, visiting each vehicle and receiving a special treat for Halloween. So get your costumes ready, mark your calendars, and plan to join us at this creative and fun event! All are invited! We have two plans in place, contingent on conditions current at the time. If pandemic conditions are similar to our current conditions or better, kids will make their way by foot along a designated path from one vehicle to the next with social distancing practiced. If pandemic condi-tions worsen, the procession will require visitors remain in their cars as they drive along the designated route and treats will be handed through the window. Trucks sponsored by various companies will be deco-rated (“in costume”) and should be in place by 4:30 pm. If someone would like to participate by having their own decorated truck in the event, please contact Anna at 770-894-2783 or [email protected]. Trucks will be decorated by their sponsors/owners. Though the partici-pants are being asked to provide their own treats to hand out, we would still like to request donations of individually wrapped candies to help ensure there are plenty of goodies for all of our visitors. We will not be having any games or activities during this event other than the trick-or-treating procession of the children by foot/vehicle.
Drive Through Communion Coming up in November we will have a special Taking of the Sacraments Communion Drive-Through! Join us on Sunday, November 15th from 4:00-5:00 pm, when you will be able to drive through to the Welcome Center Portico and receive communion. Our Sunday Worship will be at the usual time in the Sanctuary at 10:00 am that morning.

Outdoor Church Work Day We could use your help on Saturday, October 10th at 9:00 am for an Outdoor Church Work Day. Contact Anna for more information if you can lend a helping hand!
Outdoor Worship Service Autumn is here and so are the cooler temps and smell of fall in the air. What a wonderful time to worship outdoors! On Sunday, October 11th at 6:00 pm we will be worshiping outside. So grab your camp chairs and join us! We will meet on the field behind the Church by the church office and space people safely apart. Limited parking spaces along the field will be available for those who feel more comfortable remaining in their vehicles. If the weather doesn't cooperate, we would send out an email by the end of the week preceding the date and hold our usual 10:00 am Worship Service in the Sanctuary.
Truck-or-Treat Every year hun-dreds of our church and community children, as well as their families, look forward to FBCJ’s Fall Festival. The Children’s Ministry of
First Baptist Church of Jasper is rising to the challenge of 2020 and implementing Rev. Anna Walker’s catch phrase for the pandemic, “We need to find new ways to love each other.” Halloween will be vastly different for everyone this year, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun and entertain-ing! The Children’s Ministry at First Baptist Church has planned to ensure everyone has a safe, fun, and memorably happy time. In place of this year’s Fall Festival we will have
“Music is a form of prayer uniting people everywhere. Transcending language, time, and race – rhythm building at a pace will turn most any space into a holy, sacred place.”

The Spirit of Christmas Throughout the YearEvery year our FBCJ Lamplighters Women on Missions group organizes and coordinates Operation Christmas Child. Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse that began in 1993 and has since delivered more than 168 million shoe boxes filled with donated items to needy children in more than 100 countries. “Shoe box gifts are a way to demonstrate God's love in a tangible way to needy children around the world, and together with the local church worldwide, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.”In October the Lamplighters Women on Missions group will be holding their annual shoe box packing party. The Lamplighters have reserved the outside covered porch at the Pickens County Recreation Center, located at the cor-ner of Camp Road and Refuge Road, for Thursday, October 8 from 10:00 to 12:00 for the Operation Christmas Child Packing Party. All ladies of the church are invited to join them for this very special event. Please wear your mask and bring your items for the shoe boxes. The Lamplighters group will provide the shoe boxes, clear plastic gloves, scotch tape, scissors, and something to write with. We plan to return back to our own homes for lunch after pack-ing the shoe boxes.Operation Christmas Child boxes will be collected on Sunday, November 15th. Please bring your boxes and $9 postage. If you prefer, you may bring your boxes to the church office by Thursday, November 12th. If you have any questions, please contact Kym McCrary: [email protected]
