  Mission 2020 at Baptist Ridge Camp

  Even COVID couldn't stop us from doing a mission ministry in 2020!

  Aug. 7-11th we went to Baptist Ridge Camp in Warsaw, MO to help with much needed repairs and upgrades to the camp.

  The cabins have a new floorplan that required partitions, storage boxes, fresh paint inside and out.  All of these enhancements so the campers in coming years have a better camp experience.

  We will try to notify folks of a cancellation right here in the Announcements at firstlowrycity.com as soon as we know we are cancelling.

  If you see no cancellation notice, then we are having services.  Your local roads or area may be unsafe to travel on even though roads around the church are passable so always use your own discretion on getting out in inclement weather.  Don't feel you have to get out "cause they're having church".

  We will also text and contact by phone those who are signed up on the FBCLC Prayer Chain.

  Evangelism Tool Box: Sharing Your Personal Testimony

  Two more testimonies are online, ready to be listened to from Heather and Nate.

  To hear other testimonies, go to the Sermons tab at the top of the page.

  If you are willing to share your testimony, come share it on Wednesday Night at 7:00p.m. (except 3rd Wed. of month which is Business Meeting night).

  Your testimony should be 10-15 minutes in length and be organized in three basic parts:
  1. Your life prior to coming to know the Lord
  2. Circumstances the lead you to place your faith in Jesus Christ
  3. How Jesus has made a difference in your life since you were born again.

  Remember Psalm 107:2 says "Let the redeemed of the LORD say so..."

  "Here Comes Joe" is back after 25 years!

  Over 25 years ago Joe Brownd and Jeff Ferguson put together a gospel tract to distribute at the Wings Over Houston airshow in 1992.  The tract is done in memory of USAF Capt. Douglas L. Bradt, who was killed in action during Operation Desert Storm.  Doug was a dear friend of theirs that sought to share the gospel that changed his life.
