This Week at First Baptist Church Welcome
Welcome to First Baptist Church
Welcome to First Baptist Church of Clemson. We are so pleased that you are part of our congregation today.
We worship God as revealed in Jesus Christ and seek to provide our people both a sense of identity and belonging and a sense of direction and mission. We hope you will consider making First Baptist Clemson your church home.
As a family of Christian believers, this Church receives as new members all those professing faith in Christ and requesting baptism by immersion. This Church also receives members by transfer of letter from another church or by statement of previous membership in another church providing membership in that church required profession of faith in Christ and baptism in some form. Members may be received at any scheduled worship service.

That's right, Tiffany Hamilton, our Minister for Youth and Education, celebrates
her 13th year with First Baptist Clemson on June 6. When Tiffany arrived, fresh
out of seminary, she was a mere toddler in ministry and thanks to your patience
in "training her up," she is now an adolescent in ministry and the fun is only
beginning. All puns aside, Tiffany and her family have served First Baptist
Clemson exceptionally well and we are blessed by her love, her dedication, and
her professionalism. Please find a moment to express your appreciation to
Tiffany for her faithful ministry.

During June, pause to reflect on your memories of a former pastor at FBC

support this worthwhile endeavor.

Our prayer for you
When you achieve goals and meet with success, may your faith be
strengthened knowing “God has a plan for you, plans to prosper you and
not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11
When you feel pressured to make decisions and you are insecure, may you be
reminded that “you can do all things through Christ who gives you
strength.”
Philippians 4:13
When the road ahead seems dark and you are not sure which way to go, may
the Word of God serve as “a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your
path.”
Psalm 119:105
When you search for purpose and meaning, may you “trust in the Lord with
all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways
submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
Proverbs 3:5-6
When you feel alone or scared or left behind, may you remember the words
of Christ, “peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to
you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be
afraid.”
John 14:27
When you count your blessings and add up your riches, may you be
reminded that “every good and perfect gift comes from the Lord.”
James 1:17
When you look for a place of belonging, may you be reminded that “you
are part of the Body of Christ, gifted and called.”

We pray these words of scripture, “Bless them indeed.”
Mark 10:16
