First Baptist Church of Safford

Announcements

• Virus Precautions During Church

  We have returned to the arrangements we had in place last May, to accommodate those taking precautions against the virus. The front left quadrant of the church will be reserved for those who are social distancing, and they will be given the opportunity to leave first. If you are not social distancing, but need to leave right after the service, please exit the rear of the sanctuary. We will continue these arrangements in the as long as people are taking advantage of them! A suggestion for those taking precautions is that they arrive a little early.

• Commissioning Service This Sunday March 7

  Today is a special day in FBC's life; we are installing Ryen House as pastor, to work alongside Pastor Ken.  Besides our usual first-Sunday-of-the-month worship, communion and testimonies, we will pray over and commission Pastor Ryen.

• Volunteers Needed for Children's Church

  Nehemiah 8 is a great passage in Scripture about the ministry of the Word, and it emphasizes understanding. In order to enhance our children's understanding of the Word, we will begin children's church this next Sunday. 

  After all but the last song in the worship service, we will have a time of meet & greet, and the children will be dismissed to their own service.  We are still in need of people to volunteer for a rotating term of service teaching children's church, see Pastor Ken or Sabrina Galloway to volunteer.
