We are in the midst of a 40 day campaign called "Better Together." The sermon series, small group lessons, and joint devotional guide are all centered around the theme that everything we do.......we do better together. One of the things we do better together is that we reach out better together. The biblical example of this principle is the four friends who brought their paralytic pal to Jesus. This man could not have brought himself to Christ. Yet, his friends were undeterred by the obstacles that could have prevented this encounter. They were committed to see that their friend have an audience with the Savior.

Perhaps there are people in your life that will NEVER come to Christ on their own. They are waiting for a committed friend to bust through the barriers until they have an encounter with the Savior. First Baptist Church is going to provide an event for you to bring a friend to during our 40 day campaign. This event is called the "First Family Fish Fry." This fun filled evening is scheduled for Wednesday, October 12. Every guest you bring is FREE (Members will be asked to purchase tickets at the regular Wednesday night dinner prices). You can begin now to invite neighbors, work associates, and family members that you want to bring to Jesus.

Jesus called his disciples "fishers of men." This month we are casting the nets and being genuine disciples by fishing for friends that need Jesus. Plan now to bring a friend to the First Family Fish Fry. Your friend may thank you for all of eternity!
