Peter replied, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. This promise is to you, to your children, and to those far away — all who have been called by the Lord our God.” Then Peter continued preaching for a long time, strongly urging all his listeners, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation!”
Those who believed what Peter said were baptized and added to the church that day—about 3,000 in all. Acts 2:38-41 (NLT)
Baptisms! Last Sunday, we celebrated three baptisms as part of our 10 am weekly service. Baptisms are amazing and awesome demonstrations of God's power - and His grace - in our world and in people's lives. There weren't many dry eyes in the house on Sunday morning! If you missed seeing the baptisms, or if you'd just like to see them again, click here to view them on Youtube.
Update from CU Vox: The Missions Committee has also recently received an update from Timothy Pillsbury at CU Vox (ministry at Dartmouth College). To view his update, just click here.
“Souper Sunday”: Thanks to all who contributed soup (104 cans in all) and crackers for our annual collection for the Lebanon Food Pantry.
Annual Congregational Meetings: Our churches' annual congregational meetings are fast approaching. The First Baptist Church of Etna will hold its annual meeting after the Sunday morning service on March 2, 2025. The Hanover Center Church will hold its annual meeting the following Sunday, March 9, 2025, also after the Sunday morning service. All are welcome to attend either or both meetings, but only members of each congregation may vote in that congregation's meeting.

| LISTEN dinners: When Moses felt inadequate to lead his people out of Egypt, the Lord said to him, "What is that in your hand?" Moses was a shepherd at that time, so of course he had a staff in his hand. That simple piece of wood became a powerful tool in God's mighty hand as Moses did indeed lead his people out of slavery in Egypt and across the Red Sea. What do YOU have in YOUR hand? Can you chop vegetables, brown meat in a pan, or scoop food onto plates with a smile? If so, you can join our team at the upcoming free dinner provided by LISTEN in WRJ on March 3! We have two 1-1/2 hr. shifts and we'd love to have you join us. Contact Laurie Wadsworth for more details. |
