Welcome to First Baptist Church of Albany Missouri, we would like to invite you to participate in a regional debriefing conference taking place at our church August 20-22, 2010. Click Here to access our on-line sign up form. We look forward to seeing you here.

I mentioned something very important Sunday morning.  I shared with you some information about all of the events Whitney Prewitt has been planning.  She has put alot of work into finding places that we can do ministry as a church this summer.  There is a week long event to Rushville, Missouri.  But there are also several one day options.

I know it is hard to take a week away from work.  )I’m dealing with that stress right now as I prepare for Haiti.)  However, one day can be easier.  I hope that this summer you will be willing to take one day.  Join in on one of the many events that are planned.  There is an option for every type of person and gifting.  Find an option that fits you and join in as we continue to be a church committed to missions.

Check the table in the foyer or talk to Whitney for more information.

Albany’s Visionary Partnership for a Rural Community has planned a community service day on Saturday, May 1. As a church we are joining them in their efforts. We will do a service day in cooperation with the larger event.

The event will start at 9AM at the Albany Football Field. Come ready to get dirty and enjoy working with others from our community.

The church will serve lunch to all the volunteers at 1PM at the church.

Help would be appreciated throughout the day and for the lunch.

See you then!!

We are going to start posting up the newsletter on the website. It will be located in the sidebar to the right directly above the most recent sermons links.

Anyone that has been to the church in the last few days has probably noticed that the 3 stained glass windows that were being renovated from the old church building were finally delivered and installed in their places in the foyer and sanctuary. For those that have not yet been able to see them, these pictures will give you an idea what you have missed. Sorry for the poor quality pictures on the Sanctuary pieces but my “photographer” forgot to make sure the flash was on better pictures will be forthcoming. Pictures alone could not do them justice anyway, so the first chance you get, go check them out, I don’t think you will be disappointed.
