1 John: Christian Assurance in an Uncertain World

“Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”—Jesus (Matthew 11:28) New International Version

Prayer Pointer

Your perfect love will never end/ not even on the day I die/ Because you're raising me up to Heaven/ where loving is paradise/ And I will lift my voice higher and higher/Proclaiming your glory/Harmonizing with the noise of a massive choir Of souls that You set free...With Your perfect love

-Todd MacDonald "Perfect Love" (Changes)

First Baptist Youth Learn About Famine

May 4 - 6 Beginning on the morning of May 4^th the youth group will experience 30 hours without food in order to have a brief idea of what it is like to experience hunger. Their hunger will be short lived but in many countries it is a way of life and death.

The youth are taking in part in a project sponsored by World Vision to raise money to feed the hungry and to support work to end hunger. We ask you to support our youth with a donation to go to World Vision. Please make out a check to First Baptist Church of Abington, and note 30 Hour Famine in the memo line.
