EVERY FRIDAY IS PRAYER DAY
We had a great initial day of prayer with over 250 people taking 15 minutes from their day to pray for God to work in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis. We are praying for our church, our community and our country. We are praying for those affected by the virus and those in the heath field who are serving so faithfully and sacrificially.
Our Pastor has called us to continue this effort and make every Friday a Day of Prayer. Those who have signed up have committed to continue. We invite you to join us. No need to sign up, just pray. We ask you to set aside 15 minutes during the day to stop and pray. A new prayer guide will be posted here each Thursday to help direct your prayer time.
Of course, every day is a day for us to pray. We are reminded to continually be in a spirit of prayer.
2 Chronicles 7:14
”And if my people, who bear my name, humble themselves, pray and seek my face, and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.”
FBC PRAYER LETTER for JANUARY 2, 2026
FBC Day of Prayer Friday, January 2, 2026
“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” II Chronicles 7:14
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you, for everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and the one who knocks; the door will be opened.” Matthew 7:7-8
This is our first Prayer Letter for 2026. Last Sunday during the 15-minute prayer time before the service, we read two scriptures about the new year! “Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. 19 Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? Isaiah 43:18-19 ESV
They who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.Isaiah 40:31 ESV
Yesterday, January 1, 2026, was a new day, a new month, and a new year! It is a time to consider new opportunities to grow in your spiritual walk with Jesus... to walk by Faith and not by site! We are praying for the members of First Baptist Church. We are praying for the new deacons who are joining the Deacon Body! We are praying for the new leaders in our deacon body Ed Larson -Chairman, Ken Monroe- Vice Chairman, Ron Pendergrass – Secretary, Denny Boguski – Chair of the Personnel Team, and Glen Rainey – Chair of the Finance Team.
We prayed for Jason Johnson, Missions Pastor, who preached. He reminded us of Simeon and Simeon’s obedience. His rewards were guided by the Holy Spirit. Simeon held Jesus in his arms and his eyes saw salvation. Obedience to God is rewarding and leads to inner peace. We prayed for Pastor Ronny and Angie who will return next Sunday, January 4, 2026!
Thank you all who pray on Friday morning each week!
