What People Are Saying about FBC
We recently received the following unsolicited note from Vicki Walter. She and John brought their granddaughters to the annual Martin Luther King, Jr. event. It is a wonderful affirmation of the diversity that is First Baptist...
Last evening was all, and more, of what I was hoping for our family. For so long, John and I wanted to be able to have the grandladies here for this event. I want them to be surrounded by such a loving diversity of people.
Just a few highlights from the grandladies point of view: Mica had told me after church in the morning that she loved Chinese people. Well, we sat with Cindy and family for soul food. Cindy taught the girls some hand symbols for numbers when she asked their ages. The little girls were taken with Ada and eagerly watched her sing with our choir. The photographs by Preston captivated both ladies and Acacia especially loved the photo showing long locks down the back of a female subject. They loved the choir singing and would have been dancing their hearts out, but we settled for clapping.
The food blew them away. The deal was they were to have a taster’s bite of each offering. The servers were very kind and loving to them as they went through the line twice. The delight was the pork bar-b-que!!!
There were periods during the night when I saw Acacia just looking all around the room with wide eyes. Driving home Mica said, "I want to stay longer. I want to go back to your church next weekend." What a blessing FBC is to all of us.
For John and me it is such a wonderful place to bring our grandladies. They had a wonderful time during Sunday School as well. Acacia immediately told me that she made 3 friends. And Acacia said, “Annie is just like me because she is adopted.” I love it!
