Written by: Bob DeAngelo, Pastor of Youth and Outreach I don’t know that I love to read…but I do know that I love to learn. I get absolutely giddy at the thought of opening my mind up to new ways of thinking, differing perspectives, and thoughts that I had not previously considered. In fact, the […]
On Sunday evening, Dec. 16 at 6:30 pm the choir, orchestra, junior choir, and accompanists of Friendship Baptist Church will present the Christmas musical, “Lord of Glory” by renowned composer \ Dan Forrest. This is an excellent opportunity to celebrate the incarnation of Christ with family and friends. It is also a wonderful time to […]
Kathy Waters’s operatic soprano voice sends a hush over the congregation when she approaches the podium to sing. She bathes her song choices in prayer, saying “He knows” what people need when they are ministered to in song. “I don’t like to perform,” Kathy explained. “But to minister is a different thing altogether.” In addition to […]
Okay, I’ll admit it, this is by far one of my favorite times of the year. Football games that start to really matter, basketball season begins, cool weather blows in, Thanksgiving with family, Christmas music starts, and just the whole thing – except cider – I can’t stand cider, but one of my favorite parts […]

The FBC Ladies Regional Cookie Exchange is coming up, but some are still wondering, “What is a Cookie Exchange?” If you search the internet, you will find many variations for cookie exchange parties. I like Martha Stewart’s definition the best: “Invite a (small) group of friends, and have each person make enough of one kind of cookie […]
“Did you see the latest school shooting? My grandson just started middle-school and it scares me to death. How do we stop this stuff? What’s the answer?” This was the conversation a retired army veteran and proud grandfather wanted to have with me after hearing that I was a part-time teacher. It only took about […]
It was a Saturday morning this past summer. I had just put on my running gear for a three and a half mile run and stepped out the front door, when I saw them – a grown man, a middle school-ish aged young man, and a young girl. They were all dressed nicely, and they […]
