Sermon Series—February 2012
Invitation to a Spiritual Journey
Unleash a revolution into the deep places of your life.
"Most of us, in our more honest moments, will admit there are deep layers beneath our day-to-day awareness. As the the illustration shows, only about 10% of an iceberg is visible to the eye. This 10% represents the visible changes we make that others can see. But the roots of who we are continue unaffected and unmoved." (Reference: Emotionally Healthy Spirituality: Unleash A Revolution In Your Life in Christ by Peter Scazzero)

This class is the first step of our membership process, but it is also open to those who are just interested in learning about First Baptist Church at Savoy. Discover First Baptist is a four-hour class providing a basic overview of who we are, what we believe, our vision for where we're going, and how you belong. The pastors will answer your questions, and get to know you a bit better at the same time. We'd love you to join us. Come learn about First Baptist Church—a family where everyone can worship, grow, and serve.

Beginning at 9:30 am then break for the 10:45 am worship service. We meet again for lunch at noon and continue the class for approximately two hours (includes a complimentary lunch).
Anyone is welcome to attend with no obligation.
The next class will be August 26, 2012.
