We are so grateful you are joining us for worship today, and our prayer is that you have a fresh encounter with Jesus Christ. Throughout our service, we have times of prayer, singing, preaching and an opportunity to respond to the gospel message. At FBC, we invite you to be yourself. We are imperfect people that have hope in a perfect God, and we want to shine the spotlight on Him.
If you are a first time guest we would love to connect with you. Please complete the Connection Card located in the pew. At the end of service, please take it to the kiosk in the Connection Center and we have a gift there for you. Also, we have free Bibles available in the Connection Center if you need a copy of God’s Word.
Mission/Vision of First Baptist Church: We exist to see the hope of Jesus Christ transform Charlestown by providing every person with an opportunity to hear and respond to the good news of Jesus and equipping them to grow up into maturity in Christ.

FBC Members: we are in need of child care workers for Wednesday night activities (6:15—7:30) and on Sunday mornings with the babies, toddlers, Kid’s Connection during the morning service. If you are willing to serve please contact the church office or Pastor Nathaniel. You will be blessed by these little ones wanting to learn about Jesus!
Agape Meals: last week’s meal (postponed due to snow) will take place today immediately after the service in the fellowship hall and ALL are invited! The deacons wives are sponsoring this first one, so they are just asking for donations to help future Agape Meals. You can give through the app by selecting the agape meals option or give cash or check. Soup, chili and cookies will be provided. See you downstairs for a good bowl of soup!
Our next Agape Meal will be Sunday, March 16th with a Pot Luck Lunch! See the link below that will be used for all Agape Meal sign-ups in 2025.
