A love offering to children all over world. Donated toys and needed  essentials fill a shoe box and a message of Jesus and His Love(in their language) inside are sent to change the lives of recipient and others. May the Lord Bless all who help further His name in this beautiful way.

Our congregation as a whole was able to fill and send off 29 boxes for 2009!!! ALLELUJA.I know in my heart it has made a difference for at least one child and their family-many others-and ourselves.thanks everyone

The Eagle Has Landed in Provo Church

That’s right! First Baptist Church of Provo had capture the Eagle Award at our last Semi Annual Associate Meeting Oct. 4th 2009. On the outside looking in, it might not seem much. However, if you’re from the inside then you know it was a challenge.

The Eagle Award goes to the church with the most attendance at the meeting. It doesn’t sound like much but here’s the kicker. Meeting location always rotates, it doesn’t matter where about Mt. Pleasant was always taking it home. Not this time…

The meeting was at Mt. Pleasant and Provo took the Eagle Award from them at their home court! Hey, it wasn’t easy we barely won by ONE.

And here’s the Key Factor, we have the Stovall and youths to thank. They added to our normal number.

Good news doesn’t end there. There’s more!

Yep, as Pastor Buck said on Sunday Service. We can keep it easily. Because the next Semi Annual Meeting will be at our church, in Provo. How awesome is that? Easy win for us right? So the next one will be in April 2010. Be there and enjoy the great foods after.

LakePoint Fellowship Church in Provo First Baptist Church

It was March 22, 2009 4:00 pm…

Who says Christians don’t know how to enjoy life huh? Just take  a look at all this food.  And the desserts are not included in the picture. There was just too much and I couldn’t make it fit. But you get the picture.

We had a small event with a BIG celebration.

Of course it is a BIG celebration when 3 believers decide to declare Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior to the whole world.  Yes! We had 3 baptisms.

LakePoint Fellowship Church from Lehi, led by Pastor, Wes, came to First Baptist Church of Provo for a baptism celebration. It was their event and Provo Baptist was invited to share in the joy.

Three young ladies were baptised that day. Congratulations ladies!

Here are some pictures:

I didn’t get any good shots of the baptism.  My camera was too slow to capture the fast action of this amazing event. But I did manage to get a 12-second clip of it.

This Year We Collected 25 Boxes! Allejuaha!

Operation Christmas Box was accomplished with 25 boxes. Thank you Katie for a job well done.

The Samaritan’s Purse has a program called Operation Christmas Box. Sending gifts (in a shoe box with Christian message) to children all over the world.

And our church’s members decided to be involved. We collected shoe boex and filled them with items such as: toys, balls, dolls, toothbrush’s and paste, paper, pencils, color books and crayons etc. Then add $7 for shipping.

Samaritan’s Purse takes over from here.

Their volunteers insert literature about our Savior Jesus Christ, in different languages. Many children have saved of this worthy program!

God have bless us with a total of 25 boxes this Christmas. May God continue to work in and use First Baptist Church of Provo to glorify Him!
