Ladies Missionary Circle & Dorcas Circle

Both of these “lady groups” are missions minded.

Our Ladies Missionary Circle at First Baptist Church is a group of dedicated women who have a desire to help our missionaries. Missionaries have a burden to win souls to Christ, and travel to many countries to achieve what God has put on their hearts to do. The goal of the Ladies Missionary Circle is to support the missionaries in prayer. Secondly, we use our talents to sew and/or furnish items to make their lives more comfortable on the mission field. All women in the church (no matter the age) are welcome at our meetings which are held on the first Tuesday of each month, starting at 9 AM.

Dorcas Circle meets every second Thursday of the month at 7 p.m. These ladies focus on reaching out to those of our church family or community who are hurting. Whether it’s organizing the Christmas tree gifts for needy individuals, providing food baskets at Thanksgiving, or reaching out with a SonShine basket to a church member, a heart for the hurting is always on display. This group also organizes Mother/Daughter banquets and Father/Son outings.

Ladies can belong to one or both groups.

To do our part in the Responsible Restart Ohio Plan, here is what we are doing…

We will have two morning services. Those with last names A-L will meet between 8:30-9:30 am. Last names beginning M-Z will meet between 10:30-11:30 am.
There will be no children’s ministries, Sunday School, or nurseries provided.
No valet services will be available.
The offering plate will NOT be passed. Offering can be placed in the Special Offering box which will be on the Memorial Table as you enter the sanctuary.
We will utilize every other row in the sanctuary. Families should sit together. Those who do not live in the same household will need to put 4 cushions or chairs between them to insure the social distancing requirements.
When service has ended, we are going to ask you to exit the building as quickly as possible. Fellowship can continue in the parking lot where you can social distance a whole lot easier than in the foyer. We will be asking our ushers to help facilitate the dismissal. It will look similar to dismissing for weddings, only without the reception line – also, no rice, birdseed, or bubbles 🙂
For the time being, there will be no Sunday evening or Sunday School. The Sunday night services will be online.
Starting Wednesday, June 3rd, will we be restarting our midweek service. This does NOT include any of the children’s ministries (no nurseries, Gophers, Olympians, or WOL and no van ministry). All kids must sit with their parents.
If you have had a fever within the last 7 days or if you are ill, please do not come to any of the services.
As restrictions are lifted in the State, we will slowly reintroduce more of our regular services.
NO CONTACT signs will be placed throughout the church as a reminder to refrain from shaking hands.
Hand sanitizer stations are at the doors and bottles of hand sanitizer are in different places. Please use these liberally and wash your hands in the restrooms.
If you feel more comfortable wearing a face mask, you are welcome to. However, this is not required.
