The Scripture Reading from Acts 1:7-8 is our commission to evangelize the world. Parts of “The Mission Statement for ABCUSA” are: “The heart of the gospel is God’s redemptive love. In our life together, the world will see the power of forgiveness to overcome alienation, the strength of love to transform hate, the power of grace to break the bonds of guilt, the triumph of hope over despair, and the victory of faith over doubt. Through the cross of Christ we embrace the world as neighbor. Our vision for mission energizes a multitude of servant ministries of evangelism, discipleship, leadership, new church development, social justice, healing, peacemaking, economic development and education. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we work together in mutual trust, humility, love, and giving that the gospel might be preached and lived in the entire world.” When I think of how The First Baptist Church of Junction City fits into the overall mission of the ABCUSA Denomination, I believe we are called to be people of prayer, purpose, and people of passion in our local community, state, nation, and in the world.

ABW Women
The American Baptist Women’s Ministry will be having a dedication service for the white Cross quotas that have been filled this year. White Cross is a mission giving ministry that helps Baptist missionaries at home and around the world. Some of the quotas are Cash quotas and some are a Purchase Plan quota. On the Purchase Plan our ladies purchase or make many items that are needed on the mission field and send them to the missionaries.
I hope all ladies of the church will consider coming and participating in this dedication service. There will also be a time of refreshments and fellowship.
ABW Ministries meets at 7:00 p.m. in

AWANA/YOUTH
Our youth program has now been combined with the Awana leadership.
NEW: We are starting a new ministry for the Middle School and High School youth. The rooms will be upstairs in the education wing. The outline is as follows: 9:30 am to 10:00 am will be a time of fellowship and planning for outings, etc. 10:00 am to 10:45 am will be a time of study. The Middle school will continue with the David Cook series, however, the High school will not. The High school will be an open forum type of discussion of matters pertaining to the students based on Bible teachings. As a High school student if you have questions and want answers come. If any church member knows of High school or Middle school students not attending or may be attending, please provide us with their names and mailing address and we will contact them.
