“Family of Faith”
January 2025
Welcome to 2026 at Angier Baptist! We are so excited to ring in a new year with you as a part of this church family. Our theme for the year is “Family of Faith” and you will see this play an important role in things throughout the year. Family is more than the people that share a permanent address. It includes friends that you share life with and our church family as well, especially for us at Angier Baptist.
Our first sermon series will focus on our “Old Testament Family Tree” as we look at Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. On Wednesday, January 7 we’ll begin a brand new Bible Study looking at our “New Testament Family Tree” as we spend time in Acts: Rooted Faith, Living Legacy.
In addition to this we will have lots of opportunities throughout the year to highlight our “Family of Faith”, including a Church-Family Retreat at Camp Agape in Fuquay on August 29 and a celebration of the 60th Anniversary of Angier Baptist Child Care in September!
As we look forward to these special events and all of our weekly worship opportunities, I am reminded of these verses from Philippians 2
1 Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. 5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
As we enter this new year, I encourage all of us to follow in Jesus footsteps and invest in our relationship with God and each other. We’re looking forward to a great year at ABC!
In Christ,
Pastor Thomas
