2/8 – Jeaninne Milne to Preach
Posted on February 2nd, 2009
Baptist Women in Ministry, a national organization that seeks to support and encourage women Baptist ministers, has designated February as the Martha Stearns Marshall Month of Preaching. Marshall was an eighteenth-century Separate Baptist female preacher. In her honor, Baptist churches are encouraged to invite a woman to preach and proclaim the word of God during a worship service in February.
To that end, we’ve invited Jeannine Milne, a member of Farmville Baptist and a graduate student at Longwood University, to be our preacher on Sunday, February 8. Jeaninne recently has been sensing a call to attend seminary to prepare for congregational ministry. Please pray for Jeaninne as you hear about her spiritual journey and her call to ministry!

Welcome Weekend for the Johnstons
Posted on August 6th, 2007
We had a fun weekend welcoming Amanda and John Johnston to Farmville Baptist. On Saturday evening, we had them over for dinner together with five other young adults. We had a great time talking about pets, hiking and camping adventures, bungee jumping and parasailing, one person’s irrational fear of heights, another person’s irrational fear of growling dogs, yet another person’s near death experiences, etc. As you can tell, we covered a lot of territory!
Sunday morning, John and Amanda met our senior adults and youth during Sunday. Amanda participated in leading worship, and then we had a reception for them in the Fellowship Hall. It was a joyful and exciting weekend for all involved. Read the rest of this entry »
