Some days are just hard.
And sometimes we don’t even know what to pray.

That’s one of the reasons God gave us the Psalms.

Beginning Wednesday, June 3, join Pastor Gary Hardin for “How to Talk to God When Life Is Really Hard” — a Wednesday Bible study through six Psalms of Lament.

📆 Starting June 3, 2026
🕒 Wednesdays at 3:00 & 6:00 PM
📍 Room 115 at First Baptist Centre

🏗️ There’s a lot of excitement around First Baptist right now!

After the Building Steering Team recently shared the proposed plans for a future worship center, many people have been asking, “When can we start building?” We’re excited too! While there’s still much planning and praying ahead, we’re continuing to prepare and give toward what God may have next for our church family.

This Sunday, May 31, is a Fifth Sunday, and we’re encouraging everyone to give toward the Building Fund as the Lord leads. Every gift helps us continue preparing for future ministry opportunities and spaces to reach more people with the Gospel. 💙

A couple of quick notes . . .
• You can mark “Building Fund” on your offering envelope.
• Special Building Fund envelopes will be available.
• Online givers can simply select “Building Fund” when giving.

We can’t wait to see what God has in store for First Baptist Centre! 🙌
