SYMPATHY

Our prayers and sympathy to the family and friends of Mary Todd Young. She passed away this afternoon at the age of 90. Mary Todd remained a non-resident member of FBC after moving out of state to be closer to her family. She was a faithful, loving servant of Christ and a member of our church for over 62 years. She will be buried alongside Bill at their family cemetery in Camden, Arkansas. More details will be released once arrangements are announced.

ON MISSION

A team from NFBC is heading to Ukraine to work with the Ukrainian Baptist Theological Seminary. Sandy and Macon Fields, as well as Scott Harris, will be leaving this weekend and on mission for one to two weeks. They are training counselors, equipping church leaders, and caring for the displaced.

• Pray for them as they minister to those who walk through the grief and pain associated with war.
• Pray for the Ukrainian students and that they would feel seen, strengthened, and supported as they step into helping others while also carrying their own stories.
• Pray for the team to be protected, strengthened, and deeply effective in their work.
• Pray for the people of Ukraine and that in the midst of ongoing hardship, they would experience moments of hope, connection, and the steady presence of God.
