As an adult, it's often hard to return to the church you grew up in, but sometimes, you recognize the spiritual building blocks that formed you in your childhood church home are the same ones you want your own children to experience. When Meredith and Thomas McClure began their married life, they also began seeking a church home where they could grow and, when children came, the children would have a church family they love and could count on and who would provide solid spiritual building blocks.
Have you considered how the investment you are making now will impact those in generations to come? The McClure story is just that, a story of how generations past laid the foundation that helped affirm their decision to return "home" to raise their firstborn child who was born just last week. Welcome to the world, Addison we can't wait to love yo
u!

Special Anthem to be presented on February 23rd in Sanctuary Worship
Our Sanctuary Choir will welcome selected singers from our
First Kids Music
to join with them and the First Baptist Brass on John Ness Beck's famous anthem,
Thou Art God,
as an act of musical worship in one of our culminating services of the
Generations
capital campaign season.
The text comes from Psalm 90,
"Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
Before the mountains were brought forth or ever Thou hadst formed the earth, Thou art God!"
The anthem concludes with all worshippers joining together to sing the beloved hymn,
O God, our help in ages past, our Hope for years to come.
Thank you to the children (and their parents) for the extra efforts to help present an extraordinary expression of proclamation and commitment. Final rehearsals are this Wednesday and next.

Let’s not be Tanguy Pepiot!
In 2015 at a Pac-12 track meet, Tanguy Pepiot (Tahn-jay Peppio) was running down the last stretch of the race. He had a comfortable lead. There was no way any other runner was going to catch him. Except…

Pepiot celebrated too quickly. He thought he could coast to the finish line. And he suffered a terribly disappointment.
On Sunday I announced an encouraging number. Those who were willing to be part of the Advanced Commitment have pledged enough to enable us to see the finish line. But without all of us doing our part, we will fall short. Let’s not celebrate too quickly.
On Sunday we will have a time of commitment when all of us will be invited to bring our pledge cards forward. (By the way,
if you are one of those who already turned in your pledge card, you will be given another card. Just write your name and “Duplicate” on the card and bring it forward so that you, too, may participate in this beautiful moment for our church.)
Join us Sunday for a momentous celebration.
At this point in the journey in particular, I’m thrilled to be…
Your Pastor,
Travis

Her careful attention to these areas allows our church and community to have a clean and comfortable place to worship and serve. We also enjoy Misty’s smiling face wherever we find her hard at work. Next time you see Misty, please express your words of appreciation and affirmation to her for her service among us.
