Welcome to the First Baptist Church of Detroit
 
Dear Friends,

 

            What a great and glorious Easter service.  Of course, it is kind of hard for Easter to be disappointing.  Whatever hope we may have in this life as Christians comes to us from God’s faithfulness.  And in raising Jesus from the dead God says that while death means fatal, it does not mean final.  May the joy of this great season of the Christian year continue to live and reign in your life.

The Natural Church Development that produced the emphasis on “inspiring worship” is continuing as Mike Kuptz, Vickie Furman and I meet this coming Tuesday evening at 6:00 p.m. in the Conference Room to pray and plan a worship service.  If you would like to join us, this is your invitation.

The “Share the Warmth” campaign is doing well and since we have until October to reach our goal of replacing the sanctuary furnace, let’s all continue in prayer and practice.  One such practice might be to redirect some personal spending; say instead of buying Starbucks coffee, I might redirect that money to the furnace fund.  I lose nothing and gain personal discipline. 

The CROP WALK is coming up on Sunday, May 2.   The participation by FBC-D has grown over the years and the money we have raised for famine relief has increased as well.  This year I challenge the adults in the church to walk—it’s healthy and it is a ministry.  You can’t lose.

Finally, I want to thank the congregation for its generosity and prayerful support for the work of Christ through the local church.  God is good and great and we, of all the people on the face of the earth, are most blessed.  May the Lord continue to walk with you and yours and may the grace of God continue to provide and sustain you in these days.

 Peace and Grace, 

Pastor Bill
