Bible Study

On Wednesday, June 10 we began a new Bible Study entitled: “Strengthening the Church.” This study is designed to examine the work of La Grange First Church through looking at our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. After doing this analysis we will set some goals for our church. We will also at times focus on the Original Free Will Baptist Strategic Planning goals. Our pastors will lead in this study. Our nest study will be June 24th.

Bible Study - Bible Translations

Have you ever wondered why we have so many different Bible translations? Have you ever wondered how the books in the Bible got there and others didn’t? Beginning on August 5th we will begin a Bible Study entitled: “Bible Translations: Variety is the Spice of Life” taught by Josh Hobgood. We will dive into the Bible, its translation, and how we can use a variety of translations to impact our spiritual lives. Come and join us as we look at the most well preserved ancient text in all of history, a text that has been forming the Church for thousands of years.

Brazil Mission

The Brazil Mission trip is scheduled for July 17-27, 2015. Those going on the trip are Avery Mills, Casey Harrison, and Morgan Harrison. The church has raised $5,078.00 gifts and the BBQ sale. The cost of this mission trip includes airfare, visa expenses and in country expenses include lodging, food, and activities and projects. As of June 12th the BBQ sale covered the airfare. The remaining cost of the trip is $1,188.00 per person. Also the team would like to start a drive for school supplies for children in Brazil. The missionaries in country said that would be helpful because school starts the first week in August, so lots of children will be in need. Things like pencils and sharpeners, crayons, glue, notebooks and so on. Thank for your support of going into the world with the Gospel!
