SOWING THE SEEDS OF FAITH

On Sunday afternoons, starting September 4, the choir room at First Baptist will transform into Aletheia Church, a place of worship for people whose native language is Chinese. Lucinda and Daniel Gong will minister to about a dozen people but hope to grow that ministry over time, both in person and online. A few days ago, we sat down with them to talk about their faith and what led them to First Baptist. We hope you enjoy the story below.

They ask for prayers as they embark on this new spiritual journey to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to the Chinese in Richmond and worldwide. And if you feel called to financially support their mission, give to FBC Budget Offering as we have many media and building costs to support their ministry. 

COME TOGETHER!

DO YOU SMELL THAT WEDNESDAY NIGHT DINNER?

It’s almost here! On September 7 our great Wednesday night fellowship kicks off with a meal and a movie. Dinner will be served from

5 p.m. until 6:15 p.m. in Flamming Hall. The movie, The Most Reluctant Convert: The Untold Story of C.S. Lewis, will start shortly after the meal is over. Regular Wednesday night programming for both adults and children will begin the following Wednesday, September 14.


The price of a meal has increased slightly due to national inflation and increased vendor prices. Please note the new pricing structure below:

 $8 – meal or salad bar

 $5 – snack

 $22 – family maximum living in the same household

À la carte pricing will remain the same:

 $6 for a pint of soup

 $8 for a side item

 $8 for a dessert item


We hope that you will continue to support the wonderful Wednesday night fellowship!

He's Back!

Steve Blanchard took Sabbatical this summer and visited ministries in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and right here in Richmond. 

During his travels, Steve explored how churches can partner with their communities to address poverty and homelessness. 

Now that Steve has returned to FBC, he has some exciting plans for the fall that might include you!
