Update on events at Anna First Baptist

29 09 2009

On Monday afternoon, September 28th, two of our church employees were brutally attacked and beaten. Both ladies were taken immediately to a local hospital then subsequently air-lifted to the trauma center at St. Francis Hospital in Cape Girardeau, MO. One of the ladies is still at St. Francis under observation in the ICU. The other lady was air-lifted to St. Louis University Hospital and is awaiting surgery. Both are now stable and doing as well as can be expected. Please check back for updates throughout the day as they become available. Your prayers are appreciated.

We will be having a prayer meeting at the church at noon on Tuesday. The community is invited to attend.





Paul Washer explains the doctrine of election

Talk amongst yourselves….I’ll give you a topic — worship attire

13 09 2009

I just completed a mini-sermon series on hypocrisy in religious practices from Matthew 6.

What do you wear to church events (Sunday morning, Sunday night, Wednesday night, off-site activities) and why do you wear it?

Does it matter more what we wear or that we are modest in keeping ourselves covered?

What does the “outward” practice of our faith say about the “inward” genuineness of that same faith?

Go!





Rick Warren on church music

Quote from RickWarren… “No music is ’sacred’, just the lyrics.  Music preference shows your background, not your theology. The fact is God likes some music that you don’t like”.

Word.
