This week

Looking ahead

The

American Red

Cross will hold a

blood drive at

First Baptist

Church on Thursday.

Interested donors can make an

appointment to give blood any time

between 2-7 p.m. in Fellowship Hall.

Why should you donate?

According to the Red Cross:

Someone needs blood every

two seconds.

Each day

more than 30,000

units of red blood

cells are needed in

our country.

If you donate blood Thursday,

you will be among the more than six

million people who donate each year

in our country.

Call 800-RED-CROSS to make

an appointment, or go online at

redcrossblood.org and enter

“fbkennett.”

Cymbal-ic upgrades

Give blood this week

One of our music ministry goals

for this year is to invest in improving

our musical equipment — as a part of

our overall belief that worship takes

work and effort.

To that end drummer Nick Goble

and I spent a few hours at Guitar

Center picking out new drum heads,

the gently used and better quality cym-

bals, and little things like hardware and

guitar picks.

These upgrades will make a

noticeable difference in sound!

Dr. Christopher Wells

Elder of Worship

Church life

The Elder/Deacon

board has adopted the goal

of a renewed focus on

evangelism across all

ministries and activities

within First Baptist Church.

As part of that focus, the Elders and Deacons are

participating in the Billy Graham School of Evangelism.

“This flexible course allows group members to fit in

learning around home and work life —equipping them for

evangelism and follow-up with new believers through:

Lessons composed of audio and video segments,

readings, projects, quizzes, and other activities;

Guidance from a group-designated mentor to help

engage members, maintain a study schedule, and

maximize learning;

A private discussion forum, which encourages

communication and interaction between mentor and

members.”

At this time we have nine (9) openings left in the class. If

you are interested in taking the class (free of charge), please

talk with Pastor Dan or Elder Chris Wells.

J.A.M. Christian Daycare

and First Baptist Church are

collecting gently used books

appropriate for babies through

5-year-olds.

The goal is to collect 600

books. Books will be donated to the Lucky Reading

Program.

Children in Kennett Square will receive a bag with

four books to keep and one to give to a friend.

Parents will be given tips on how to read with their

children to help get them ready for kindergarten.

Don’t have books? You can make a donation, and

Nancy Nicewonger will buy books to contribute. Please

mark donations as “book collection.”

Donations can also be made online by going to

www.firstbaptistkennettsquare.com and clicking on the

“Give” button. Look for more information on how to

donate online in the pew cards.

Talk to Nancy Nicewonger if you have any

questions.
