For those of you in and around Jackson, I want to make you aware of a joint service this Sunday at 4 PM that we at First Baptist Church on North Highland are hosting with our sister congregation of First Baptist Church on MLK Drive. We look forward to welcoming our brothers and sisters to worship with us that afternoon and celebrate the reconciling power of the gospel. This joint service is a way for us to express our shared unity and common faith, and it is also an opportunity for us to declare that there is more power in the gospel to unite us than there is in our different colors of skin to divide us.
The service will consist of a combined choir from the two congregations, Scripture readings and prayers led by members of each church, and the preaching of God's Word by Ricky Jenkins, Pastor of the downtown congregation of Fellowship Memphis, an ethnically diverse congregation in the heart of downtown Memphis. A time of fellowship will follow the service. All are welcome to join us.
This service is part of our church's yearlong 175th Anniversary celebration.
