A Night With A Former Youth Member

"Give It To God"

November 2024 

Tonight at the Blue House we had a very special time. It got really smokey, really personal and I pray really freeing. Natalie Guire taught the 32 of us to “Give it to God.” Give what ? She urged us to give to God our burdens. Give Him our hurts . Let him have them.

Natalie had us to write them down and in groups of 4, we burned them. Those four then prayed together. What a beautiful picture of giving your burdens to God and having friends to pray you through that . I was reminded of Isaiah 61:3. He gives beauty for ashes. And I saw beauty in the room .
Having this former youth share with her younger peers is a blessing. It’s a picture of Titus 2. I pray this baton continues to be passed. Tonight was a great start and I know the 32 inside the Blue House have a better understanding of giving their lives to God!…and every other single thing.

Community Outreach

At First Baptist, we try our best to help when we hear of a need. Our Truth In Action volunteers build handicap accessible ramps and do other repairs as they can for the Abbeville community, and a bi-annual Day of Caring is held where the deacons and others assist in yard clean-up, spring cleaning, and more for our members and others in the community. 

We have a local prison ministry, where we conduct services and Bible studies, hand out Bibles and literature, provide occasional refreshments, and help with the prisoners’ needs as we are able. 

During the summer we put on a Vacation Bible school in the evenings, open to the community, where we offer food, music, recreation, worship, Bible study, and missionary stories. During the school year, we partner with South Side Baptist to offer a Good News Club after school hours at Westwood Elementary.

Occasionally we host community block parties—either in our parking lot or at the Livery Stable on the Square—with food and bounce houses to have some fun fellowship and have another opportunity to meet our community kids and invite them to church or special events.

We also support several outside ministries and churches, such as UCMAC, Abbeville Youth Center, sister churches in Columbia, SC, and Utah, Connie Maxwell Children’s Home, an orphanage in Rwanda, and more.

We want to reach our community and our world for Christ.
