Pastor’s Corner
I want to take a moment and say thank you to the church family that makes up First Baptist of Pembroke. You are a very generous people. During this time of year we ask a lot of you…shoeboxes, backpacks, angel tree, Lottie Moon, and our regular giving. And I know that you are likely asked to give at work, in your neighborhood, and perhaps at your child’s school during this time as well. Still, you are generous, and I want to say thank you. As I write I am not aware of the amount we have given to Lottie Moon, but I’m sure you can see it somewhere in these pages. Let’s commit to reach and exceed that $7000 goal, even if it takes a few weeks. Our missionaries are counting on us, and many will hear of Jesus for the first time as a result of our giving. Again, thanks for all that you do. You are a blessing to me. ~~Pastor Brad

Our students are all neck deep in the Christmas season. They have been for the last few weeks discussing the attributes of Jesus. They are super excited about the New Year. Many new things! Please be updated with your student’s schedules. I would love to have them attend the prayer on 1st Friday. Newsletter will be ready by the first Sunday in January.

Today, in the city of David, a Savior has been born to you. He is the Messiah, The Lord." Luke 2: 10-11.
