Dear Church Family,
We just finished a series on stewardship, “Why” and “How” we
should give of our
time and resources. As summer approaches it is a time in the
life of our church where
many of us hit the road to visit friends and family or find a
few days at our favorite
place to relax. Keep the church and your stewardship
opportunities in mind as you en-
joy the celebration summer is intended to be.
Catch Up Your Tithe Sunday is May 19, 2013. Please be
prayerfully consider ing
your tithe as we move into the summer months. We have online
giving opportunities
even if your schedule prevents you from making it to church on
any given week. It is
important for our church to maintain a healthy financial
position through the summer.
Each fall the Stewardship Committee begins to meet and plan our
budget for 2014. A
healthy financial picture allows us to continue to move towards
God’s mission and vi-
sion for First Baptist Orangeburg.
May 19, 2013 is Graduate Recognition Sunday. I hope you will
join us in celebrating
this accomplishment with our High School seniors.
Walk by Faith,
Ryan

Pentecost Passion
Nineteenth-century evangelist Dwight L. Moody
was walking down a New York City street, think-
ing about a sentence he’d heard: “The world has
yet to see what God can do with a man who is
wholly yielded to him.”
Suddenly Moody felt a great yearning and cried
out, “O God, make me that man!” He was so
overwhelmed with God’s love and with heartfelt
passion to reach lost people that he had to stop at
a friend’s house to rest.
In Birth of the Body, Ray Stedman says this is
what Luke is talking about when he describes the
events of Pentecost. “When John the Baptist pre-
dicted that Jesus would come and baptize with the
Holy Spirit and with fire, he meant that there
would be an unexplainable passion about the
church.”
As we feel the Pentecost passion, let’s yield our-
selves wholly to God and see what he does with
us!
