Welcome to First Baptist Church of Pendleton
As we aspire to keep Jesus at the center of our lives, we are Rooted in Faith, and Growing in Love. We endeavor to be a welcoming and affirming community of grace for all people, loving our neighbors because God first loved us.
Each week of Advent, one of our adult Sunday School classes will serve as lay worship leaders. This week, our Flamingo class is leading in worship. Taught by Wayne Patterson, Anna Leavitt, and Richard Baldwin, the Flamingo class uses curriculum from Nurturing Faith magazine, published by Good Faith Media. The Flamingos meet on Sunday mornings at 9:30 in Room 308.
Today we will celebrate Communion. If you are watching online, gather your own Communion elements to celebrate with us!
