Arch Ministry

On the second and fourth Sundays of each

month, First Baptist Church offers a worship ser-

vice to the people who are doing rehab at Arch in

Energy.

This is such a worthy ministry and we want to

continue offering this to these people who are in

some difficult situations as they recover from sur-

geries and other health issues.

If you can play a piano or any instrument, can

sing a song, can offer a short devotion, or even if

you can just give some love to these people, we

would love to have your assistance in this minis-

try. Please contact Nick Jones or the church of-

fice if you can help.
