A Celebration of Worship
Sunday, January 20, 9:30 AM
Guest Preacher: Dr. Ronald Bobo
Westside Missionary Baptist Church, St. Louis, Missouri
We will also receive as our guests for this service our friends from the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church in Shelby and their Pastor Dr. Lamont Littlejohn.
Our Interim Pastor, Dr. Robert Canoy, says of Dr. Bobo: “We have been friends since our seminary days and I am grateful that he is able to join us.”
Dr. Bobo is a native of Detroit Michigan. He is a graduate of Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan and The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. He serves as the Executive Secretary of the Foreign Mission Board of the Missionary Baptist State Convention of Missouri and he has served as the past President of the Baptist World Alliance Youth Department where he served faithfully ministering to youth around the world. He is currently active with the parent body of the Baptist World Alliance giving leadership on global issues in the church. Dr. Bobo is also serving as the Chairman of the Foreign Missions Board for the National Baptist Convention, USA Inc. He is also the founder of Sharing Hope International Ministries which ministers globally as well as locally instructing, preaching, and ministering to the needs of the lost and downtrodden. Dr. Bobo’s dream has always been to evangelize, sharing the love of Jesus Christ to those who have no hope around the world.

He Uses It All - BIG and small!
A glimpse inside what’s going on in the lives of those at FBC. How God is working in us and through us as we intentionally look for His grace in our lives each day. And then intentionally showing His love to those around us….whether it’s in a different country or right here in our community. He uses it all-BIG and small! (There will be a wide variety of members and those in the community sharing bits of their stories! Come back often!)
