TOCCOA MUSIC CONFERENCE REPORT

Seventeen of our Saints Alive Choir members traveled to the
Georgia Baptist Conference Center in Toccoa, GA last week to
participate in the State Senior Adult Choir Festival. In addition
to the beautiful fall setting, food and facilities, we were inspired as we rehearsed music which we will share on Sunday,
December 6. The composer of the music, Pepper Choplin, was
our festival leader and we learned a lot. Pepper even entertained us with funny and touching songs which he has written. Join us on December 6 as we share our musical gift I
Hear the Prophet Callin.

COMMUNITY THANKSGIVING SERVICE

Again this year, the Christian community of Bainbridge is invited to
attend a service of thanksgiving, where we praise God for His goodness and mercy. Churches all around town are cancelling their own
activities on Sunday evening of November 22. We will gather in the
sanctuary of the First Presbyterian Church, on Shotwell Street, at
6:00 PM for a time of worship and praise led by the choir of FPC
and a message from Rev. Mike Brown, Pastor at the First United
Methodist Church. There will be no activities here at First Baptist
Church, allowing all of us to share our thanksgiving together.
