Refuge is for anyone who desires a more intimate worship experience. It meets in the youth department and features acoustic music and an informal atmosphere.

Dan and Liz Haight, along with Pastor Larry, are the leaders for this service.

These writings revolve around the Exile and thus understanding them is essential to understanding the life and times of Jesus. Join Pastor Larry each Wednesday at 7 p.m. starting September 9th as we study The Twelve and relate them to Jesus' own teaching.

The purpose of this program is to give a simple gift. The children will fill shoeboxes with toys, school supplies, and special treats. The shoeboxes are then wrapped up like a present and are shipped to a child in a third world country. The simple gift shows that child we love and care about them just as Jesus loves them. There is a shipping cost attached to each shoebox that we send. In past years we have limited the number of boxes because of the associated cost. So, this year we are asking for monetary donations to send as many boxes as we can fill! Please help us send a gift of love to a child in need. Here are some items you can donate: Pencils, crayons, and writing pads toys- small cars, dolls, stuffed animals hygiene Items- toothbrush, toothpaste combs, and washcloths other Items- hard candy, lollipops, mints, gum, t-shirts, and socks Safe and Secure Classes Our policies and procedures for the Preschool/Children's Departments require every adult who works with children as a lead teacher or as a helper on Sunday mornings or Wednesday nights to complete this Safe and Secure Class. This class is designed to familiarize you with the policies and procedures we have in place when working with children. You will also have defined for you and will come out of the class understanding such terms as abuse and neglect. The class is only one session and only takes 15-30 minutes. The classes will begin on Sunday mornings during the Sunday School hour beginning November 8th and continuing until every person has participated in this program. *If you have already attended a Safe and Secure Class here at FBC you do not have to attend these classes. These classes are intended for our newest members of our Preschool/ Children's Ministry Team. Thank you.

I've always found a measure of comfort in that. If one of Jesus' disciples, who was with him constantly-watching, observing, listening, asking questions-didn't know how to pray, my incompetence at it didn't seem so alarming. It still bothered me, but at least it meant that I was normal. Likewise, when I read Thomas Merton in Contemplative Prayer: "One cannot begin to face the real difficulties of the life of prayer and meditation unless one is first perfectly content to be a beginner and really experience himself as one who knows little or nothing and has a desperate need to learn the bare rudiments...We do not want to be beginners. But let us be convinced of the fact that we will never be anything else but beginners." That was oddly comforting as well. It is a little disturbing, I'll admit, to think that I'll never get "good" at prayer, whatever that means, but at least I know that my struggles, my fumbling around, my lack of competence, is normal. If Merton wasn't just jerking us around, if he himself really felt like a beginner at prayer throughout his life, then I shouldn't feel so bad. Except I do. Seriously, who likes to do anything in which they never move beyond the level of beginner? I hear guys who play golf regularly who, by their own description of their play, are pretty bad golfers, and I wonder why they go through the time and expense of playing if they aren't getting any good at it. Maybe it's the snazzy clothes they get to wear. If I started playing guitar and after 15 years of practice never moved beyond the level of beginner I would just quit playing. And, you know, maybe start building guitars. So I have found myself both embracing the concept of always being a beginner at prayer while fighting against it, wanting it not to be so, working to prove that it isn't, even though I sense that it is. And that's pretty frustrating. And when I get frustrated with it, I fall back into the comfort of it. I recently read a statement from William Law from his book, A Serious Call To a Devout and Holy Life, published in 1728. I've not read the book, but it is the book which John Wesley, Charles Wesley, George Whitfield, and William Wilberforce all credited with causing a major turning point in their lives. As it's going on three-hundred years old, you would expect some of the language to be archaic. Remember that words like "pious" and "primitive" didn't have the negative connotations back then that they have acquired in modern vernacular; so substitute "devout" or "spiritual" for "pious" and "early" for "primitive" and you'll be in business. "If you will here stop and ask yourself why you are not as pious as the primitive Christians were, your own heart will tell you that it is neither through ignorance nor inability, but because you never thoroughly intended it." Now that's just mean. It's not comforting at all. And it hit me between the eyes when I read it, because it's true. "Never thoroughly intended it." Any prayerlessness on my part cannot be blamed on ignorance or inability, though I may be ignorant as well as incompetent at prayer. Prayer is a matter of intention and desire; and likewise prayerlessness is a matter of intention and prayer. None of us can blame busyness either; we find time for what is important to us. If we don't have time for prayer, it's because prayer just isn't that important. We never thoroughly intended it. I'm still working my way through this. I don't like it, find no comfort in it, and wish it weren't true. But I'm afraid that it is.

It was a great success, and we thank everyone who donated clothes and/or time to be Light Unleashed.

Thanks for checking out our website. We are really excited about what God is doing at our church, and we hope some of that comes through. You can find a lot of information about our church on this site, but if you really want to see what God is doing at First Baptist Church, you need to come check it out for yourself...continue. Tue, 3 Nov 2009 19:53:08 MST http://www.fbc.ccbchurch.com/app/w_page.php?type=group&id=40 http://www.fbc.ccbchurch.com/app/w_page.php?type=group&id=40&article_id=1060 A catalyst is an ingredient that helps things change. Yeast is a great example of a catalyst--it makes bread rise, and it helps to turn grains into beer. (OOPS! Did I say beer on a church web site?) Beer may not be the best example, but it makes the point (and helps me keep your attention!). We students at First Baptist believe that Jesus is our Catalyst. He is constantly changing us (if we let him) and helping us to become more like Him. As we become more like Him, we begin to change the world. That's why we call our student ministry Catalyst. Our goal is nothing less than to allow Jesus to change us and then use us to change the world. If your life needs a change come check us out on Wednesday nights at 6:30 or Sunday mornings at 9:45.

Healthy spirituality and healthy human functioning go hand in hand. Areas of expertise include: • Spiritual and religious problems• Pre-marital counseling• Anger management• Stress management• Depression• Family therapy• Anxiety• Couples counseling• Abuse• Eating disorders• Addictions• Sexual disorders and compulsivity• Career transitions• Loss and grief• Childhood and adolescent issues• Conflict mediation CentrePointe has two counseling centers in Frederick, one of which First Baptist hosts.

They will learn the importance of local and global missions and participate in both local and global missions. Every Wednesday night they will learn about a new missionary and what that missionary is doing to share the good news about Jesus. During the year the children participate in a CROP Walk, give food to the local food banks, make care packages and gifts for our homebound friends, and participate in Operation Christmas Child. They also learn the importance of praying for and giving to missions.

My name is Rachel Pyles and I am the Director of Children's Ministries here at The First Baptist Church of Frederick. My husband and I came to FBC in the fall of 2001 and immediately felt welcome and at home. Very soon after, we made the decision to join along with our three children. Since then I have had the opportunity to serve in some of the children's ministries. And when the Director's position became available I was excited to serve and be a part of the children's ministry. My educational background is in Early Childhood Development and Education. And in the last ten years I've taught preschool as well as serving in children's ministries such as Vacation Bible School, Sunday School, Preschool Choir, Missions, and of course nursery volunteer. The First Baptist Church of Frederick's children's ministry is one of the most exciting ministries in the church and I feel very lucky and privileged to be a part of it. We also have a wonderful team of teachers and assistants who have made a commitment to serve and truly are the backbone of this ministry. Our goal is to provide a healthy and safe environment for our children as well as setting the foundation for their spiritual walk. After all, we all start with "baby steps". Thank you for visiting our web-site and we look forward to welcoming you into our First Family. If you have any questions or would like information about the children's ministry you can contact me at Rachel@firstfrederick.org. In His Service- Rachel Pyles Matthew 18:4-5. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me.
