Farewell Sunday for Cody Knapik
Cody Knapik’s final
Sunday with us as
Youth Intern is
THIS SUNDAY.
He will preach at 9:30
a.m. in our new sanc-
tuary, and a reception
in the new Narthex will
follow at 10:30 a.m. Join us to wish him well!
Coming Home!
This Sunday, we
will return to our
sanctuary for the
first worship ser-

There will still be plenty of
re-adjusting and “figuring
out” our new space, but our
transition begins this Sunday,
with a combined service of
worship at 9:30!

We Welcome New Staff Members!
September 1 marks the beginning of new roles for two members of our congregation. We
welcome Mark Robinson as Chancel Choir director and Rev. Melissa Lumpkin as Intern for
Children’s Formation, as they begin serving on staff at FBC!
A Message from Mark Robinson: Dear FBC members and friends, I have gratefully ac-
cepted the position of Chancel Choir Director at First Baptist Church. I am looking forward
to the blessing of working with the choir and would like to invite any adult music lover who has a desire to contribute to
the spiritual life of First Baptist through music to join with us on September 2 at 7:30 p.m.
The Chancel Choir needs to be a reflection of the congregation at large, both demographically and musically. It is my
hope that, through prayerful study, the choir will present quality music of many different styles that will enrich the wor-
ship of the congregation as well as the choir. Join us on September 2 and enjoy the musical fellowship.
God Bless!
