Every year as we approach a change of seasons, we sense new opportunities. For over fifty years one of these opportunities has been an open invitation to a community wide Bible study led by Roberta Kitchens. The study uses the Bible as a text and is nondenominational. We believe the Bible is the infallible, inerrant word of God. This year’s study is the Old Testament book of Jeremiah. Before we go any further, let me say that in spite of the crazy song from the sixties, Jeremiah was NOT a bullfrog! He was a very young man and was commissioned as a “prophet to the nations” even before he was born. He was the son of a priest from the small Israeli town of Anathoth, just outside of Jerusalem and prophesied for 40 years. This Old Testament story is full of intrigue and prophecy and is as current as today’s news!

I will say no more, as I invite you to join me and others as we examine the Scriptures to learn what our sovereign God is saying to us today. The study will begin the first week in September with two classes: Friday morning, September 5 at 9:30 in the reception room of First Baptist Church is for ladies. Monday nights at 6:30 is a coed class. We even often have youth! Come in through the patio door.

Come early to visit and fellowship. Come.
