January 19, 2025
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.

New for 2025—Agape Meals!! Save the Dates!!
In order to have an extremely relaxed and affordable way for us to gather more regularly as a church family for the breaking of bread and fellowship, on the 3rd Sunday* of each month beginning February 16th, everyone is encouraged to meet in the Fellowship Hall immediately following the morning worship service for lunch and conversation. While the expectation will be to BYOL (“bring your own lunch”), a very cheap and easy meal option will be available for purchase. Also, once per quarter, rather than gather for lunch, we will gather for a Potluck Supper at 5PM. The 2025 Agape Meal schedule, menu, and pricing, as well as a sample RSVP form will be forthcoming. Our first Agape Meal will take place on February 16th and will be hosted by our current and future deacon wives. This particular meal will be provided "by donation” and will serve as a fundraiser to help offset the start-up costs for future meals. The ability to contribute to or pay for Agape Meals will be available on the FBC app. Please see Jan Jones or Jill Fellows if you have any questions. *4th Sunday in April and June due to holidays.
