The Way of the Cross
How to become a Christian
Admit that you are a sinner
“For All have sinned and come short of the glory of God”
Romans 3:23
Believe that Jesus died for your sins
“For if you confess with your mouth jesus is lord and believe
in your heart that god raised him from the dead you shall be saved”
Romans 10:9
Commit your life to him
“If any of you wants to be my follower, you must put
aside your selfish ambition, shoulder your cross and follow me.”
Matthew 16:24
Invite Christ into your life and heart today
“For the wages of sin is death but the gift
of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ”
Romans 6:23

Welcome to the First Baptist Church of Lloyd
The beginning of freedom begins with surrender. Surrender to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Hope, in a world of dark. Truth quietly walking through the spiritual war that surrounds. God's gift to a lost world apart from His love yet though Him healed. Healed through believing. Home at last in the hands of God. The wide road evaded and the narrow path chosen.
Come and worship with us. Maybe you do not know Jesus. Maybe you don't even know who God is. Maybe you have been traveling this world weary from the journey, lost looking for safe harbor. That harbor is in the hands of God and the path to Him is through Jesus Christ. Jesus said: "Come to me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest." Mt 11:28 Come today, right now, where you are and pray to Him and ask Him to come into your life and to become your personal Lord and Savior. Join us or call us and let us help you come to understand who Jesus is and what He means to a world that is passing away.

A STEWARDSHIP MOMENT
September 2010
As your pastor, it is my responsibility to lead this church in our spiritual life. Last week I preached on the Stewardship of Responsibility. I believe in a team concept of church ministry.
This week I will be preaching on “The Pastor’s Playbook” which involves everyone in the work of the ministry. Giving is no different. It takes an investment on all our parts to ensure success
in God’s kingdom work.
We committed to building a new sanctuary three years ago and the Lord has truly blessed us. We have seen that number go from $395,000 to less than $161,000. There is no question in my mind and heart that God will be faithful until we finish paying off our debt. We do not need to be fearful or anxious about paying the existing debt. It will happen on God’s schedule.
It is important that we be faithful in giving our tithe which provides for the different ministries of the church and maintaining existing buildings. If we are to grow, we need to keep our existing ministries intact so we can continue to reach our community.
You have done an excellent job in keeping up with your “Building Fund” giving. We do need everyone to keep giving your tithes so we can keep the ministries of the church going. On September 19th we will be asking each of you to recommit to two more years of giving to the building fund. We also will be asking any new members to join us in paying off existing debt so we can plan for the future. It is a privilege to serve the Lord along side each of you. May God bless our efforts in reaching the lost.
In His grace,
Bro. George

Hostess Committee
September 2010
The 2009-2010 church year will come to a close and our new year will begin on September 1, 2010. I would be neglectful if I did not give thanks to the members of the Hostess Committee for allowing me to act as their Chairperson. When I agreed to attempt filling this position, Carolyn Cheshire told me that if I would take the job she would “help me in any way”. After this year, I can tell you that if Carolyn tells you she will do something, you can “take it to the bank”. I never did figure out if she was actually ON the committee, but she was right there through every event and activity. Now, that is service and love. Speaking of service and love, your new Hostess Committee looks much like last years, with the addition of Ramona Rabon. Alice McKenney, present Co-Chairperson, Pat Revel, Lorraine Parker and Michelle Poston will be returning this year along with alternates, Vi Payton and Ann Windham. Paulette, thanks for all those trips you took to Sam’s for us this year. Again, many thanks for the help, encouragement and support this year. Seek out a member of your Hostess Committee and just say “thanks” for a job well done. They will appreciate it. Homecoming will be coming up in October. Please keep Kristin and that committee in your thoughts and prayers. If you are asked to help, do it. It will truly be a blessing.

Volunteers to this ministry are welcome and will be blessed from being a part of a ministry that builds Christian values in our children.
