Easter 2021
Join us for Easter on Sunday, April 4th at the service time of your choice: 9:00am or 10:30am.
Nursery and childcare will be provided for both services.
Please register for the service you plan to attend to help us plan accordingly.
Join us throughout the year with Prayer 3:33
Prayer 3:33 is based on Jeremiah 33:3 which reads, “Call to me, and I will show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.”Every day at 3:33 AM or PM say a prayer for the church as the Lord so leads you to pray. This is not to replace other times you may be led to pray for the church. This is a time to call the church to concerted, simultaneous prayer! I believe a church that prays together, stays together! Hopefully, we all want to know the “Mind of Christ” so we can move forward together in what He has planned for us. I believe Jesus has some wonderful, mighty things in store for us as First Baptist. Don’t you want to know what these things are and be a part of what Jesus is doing?
Prayer changes things, if it only changes the one praying!
We’re Ready to BOLT!
Welcome!
You have your VBS Kit… and now it’s time to BOLT!
Here is an easy way to access everything you need for a wonderful VBS experience at home. Take a look at your box of VBS goodies and review the instruction sheet. Most of the items you will need are provided in your VBS Kit… but check the “Supply List” for a few items that you will need to provide.
Each video will guide you through the lesson and includes sections for music, games, origami, and Bible teaching. You will simply “pause” the video to complete a task… or “rewind” if you need to see it again. BOLT is also very flexible! You can do the sessions whenever it is convenient for your family. (The recommended times are July 21-23 @ 10:00 a.m.)
Below are the video links for each of the 3 days of BOLT VBS along with links for the music playlist and the Missions Focus videos for Sweet Sleep. But first… make sure and start each day with “Say YES to VBS” as you get everyone singing and moving for a great time together!
If you have any questions along the way… please contact us by using the Messenger feature from our Facebook page @ https://www.facebook.com/fbcwashingtonga
Each day of BOLT has beautifully illustrated Bible stories and powerful, Christ-centered teaching built into the lesson. Periodically, families will be asked to pause the video and read from the Bible or discuss a question. This makes it so easy for parents to led their kids towards a heart-changing encounter with Jesus!

FBC Buddy System
Help encourage our senior adults during this pandemic:
1) Call once a week
2) Give one small gift (draw a picture, send a card, drop-off a small gift at their door…)
3) Pray for them!
How do I get an FBC Buddy?
Email the church at fbcwashingtonga@gmail.com or call 706-678-2912
Sample “script” for children to use when they call:
“Hello, my name is ______ and I attend First Baptist Church. I just called to check on you and see if there is anything you may need?
Our family would be happy to drop off some groceries or to pick up something at the store for you.
I also wanted you to know that I am praying for you.
Have a blessed day.”
* Feel free to share a Bible verse with them or to pray with them on the phone. You may also want to ask them what prayer needs they may have?
