FREEDOM BAPTIST CHURCH
January 27, 2008
Church Items
The prayer requests and prayer chain are on the back of the bulletin for your prayerful consideration. How to use the prayer chain is also listed on the back.
This will be the last Sunday that we solicit your addresses, birthdays, anniversaries and e-mail changes on the back table. However, when changes occur through the year there will be a place on the bulletin board in the office to update your information. If you don’t write it down, it will be forgotten, so please make sure you write down any information that changes so we can keep our records updated this year.
The financial statements for 2007 are on the bulletin board in the office. If you want a copy just let us know and we will provide you copies. We did finish the year only $1500 down in our savings fund. Our gratefulness goes out to all of you for your contributions through the year. We met our goals last year and we are off to a good start for 2008.

The Sarah Corner – “And Sarah laughed”
“Come and Get Me!” My brother dropped off his wife at the hairstylist and she was supposed to call me when she was ready to be picked up. She must have dialed a wrong number, she reported later. She called, and a man said "Hello," to which she cheerfully said, "Come and get me!" The man said, "Are you sure? This is Mitchell's funeral home."
Today’s Sunday School Lesson
New Testament Postcard - I John 4:1-6, Chapter Four connects to chapter 3 by updating two ideas with new thoughts. The first idea is that God, or Christ, abides in each obedient believer. Those who obey His commands dwell in Him and He in them. The second idea is that the way a believer can verify that God lives in him is by the working of God’s Spirit in his life.
Today’s Sermon
