Due to the inclement weather, we decided it was in the best interest of the congregation to cancel services this week.
I’d like to take this opportunity to ask that we pray for all those on our prayer list. Especially the young man Ty Caudill who is now fighting cancer. Also pray for our community, the city of Falmouth, our first responders, churches, military, and our shut-ins.
Bless the families who have lost loved ones Lord. Have a blessed week and stay warm.

The year 2024 has started out amazing in the house of the Lord! On Sunday we started at 10 a.m. studying God’s word in Sunday school, Life changing faith, from Luke 5. We want to not only thank, but also lift in prayer, all the class teachers that prepare for this time of study each week.
Baptists believe that Jesus gave two ordinances to be carried out by a church, and we were blessed to celebrate both this past week. We celebrated the ordinance of baptism with Josh Nelson, followed by the children’s message, In Remembrance Of Me from I Corinthians 11:24-26, where Bro. Dale explained to the kids about the Lord’s supper.
Bro. Dale’s message, Remembering: The Cross, The Wrath was from Matthew 26:36-39.
“For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” II Corinthians 5:21. We then celebrated the ordinance of the Lord’s Supper.
Please pray this week, that someone that needs the comfort of Jesus, finds peace.
