The Light, Volume 75, Issue 9, is First Baptist Church’s September newsletter. It brings together church news, ministry opportunities, worship updates, and the month’s calendar.
Inside This Issue
A Pastor’s Reflection On E. Wilson Morrison Elementary
The lead reflection responds to the school’s structural damage and closure through Ecclesiastes 3:1. It remembers the school’s place in Front Royal, affirms care for its children and staff, and calls the community not to forget its neighbors.
Music And Children’s Ministries
The newsletter thanks the August 23 praise team and visiting musicians—Steve Jenkins on guitar, Daniel Smith on drums, and Tim Metz on piano. It also shares the Praise Team’s updated Tuesday rehearsal schedule and celebrates the children’s garden project.
Fellowship And Feeding Our Neighbors
New Friends Together returns September 15 for a Dutch-treat lunch at Brickhouse Bar & Grill. The Backpack Program asks for shelf-stable food contributions as Warren County schools resume distribution to children.
Community Partnerships And A Coming Concert
Readers can learn about the Warren County Fellowship of Christian Athletes presentation and the October 25 concert featuring soprano Dr. Melissa Chavez with Andrew Wood on piano. Admission is free, with a freewill offering received.
Mission, Giving, And Worship Participation
The Mission Offering Spotlight names E. Wilson Morrison Elementary as September’s mission focus. The issue also explains online giving, includes recent budget-receipt figures, and lists September worship volunteers and staff contacts.
Also Included
Remaining sections provide September birthdays and anniversaries, August attendance and social-media counts, Little Angels Daycare news, church leadership contacts, and the full September calendar for Sunday study and worship, Wednesday dinner, Feeding Our Neighbors, and council meetings.
