February 2022
A NOTE FROM DAVE February is now upon us. 2022 has already experienced one month in the books. If you are one that makes goals at the start of each year, how are you with them right now? I want us as a church to take part of a goal together. Let’s make Jesus known in Pensacola and beyond. This month, I want to challenge you to Dave Snyder have at least 1 Gospel conversation a week Senior Pastor with someone. If you don’t know where to start, a friendly invitation to join you at First Baptist can open the door for a great conversation. We were placed together at 500 N. Palafox for a reason. Let’s share the story of Jesus with those that God places in our path. Where are you currently serving? Are you connected to a Bible study group? Are you faithful in worship participation? In order for you to combat any hint of complacency in your faith, you must engage with your church. Please let us know how we can connect you here to the right place of fellowship and ministry. Please take a few minutes and read what is happening in the life of your church family. Take time to pray over the events listed as well as the mission efforts given. Don’t ever hesitate to contact us with any questions. Your church loves you. Your pastor loves you. Blessings, Dave C UR REN T SERIES QUARTERLY CONGREGATION MEETING February 9 at 6:00 p.m. in Chipley Hall AGENDA * Approve Minutes of November 2021 Quarterly meeting * Organizational Report * Finance Report * Ministry Reports * Introduce new Deacon Chair-elect 2

Here is a message we received recently from
one of the pastors of a partner church: “Praise
God! A woman we ministered to thru the
Church-to-Church Food Pantry a few months
ago came to Sunday school and worship
today. She brought another adult plus 6
grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. We
had 20 in church today. We also ministered to 3 homeless through
prayer and providing food as well. To God be the Glory.”
Come join us as we work alongside local churches in Escambia
County to share Christ’s love. Interested in being a part of this
ministry? Volunteer at our February 5 event!
40 VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED
Saturday, February 5 from 6:30-10:30 a.m.
As most of you are aware, FBCP has been conducting food pantries
since June 2020. Since then, we have distributed over 525,000
meals to needy people in Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties. Our
Church-to-Church model has been extremely effective in getting
food to those in need, helping to grow churches, and in helping those
churches to lead people to Christ. Our next distribution will be at
Jacqueline Harris Preparatory Academy.
Due to safety concerns, we ask that only adults and young people 16
or over come to assist.
Please register online for the specific area in which you wish to
volunteer by visiting www.fbcp.org/events.

MEET CRAIG BONELLI
Craig Bonelli was born and raised
in Pensacola. Craig and his family
have been long-time members
of Myrtle Grove Baptist Church.
Craig and his wife Charlotte
have been married for 26 years.
Charlotte is a Registered Dental
Hygienist. She loves her patients
and enjoys volunteering in the
dental department of Health and
Hope Clinic. Charlotte and Craig
have four children: Jonathan,
23, and his wife Mary are both
Registered Nurses in Colorado who volunteer with Samaritan’s Purse
relief efforts. Adrianna, 22, works in law enforcement and lives in
Pensacola. She is her dad’s favorite daughter. Joshua, 21, is a Cross-
Cultural Business Management major in his third year at William
Carey University and plans to own a Tesla Cyber Truck upon its
release. Jabin, 13, attends Alethia Christian Academy. According to
his older siblings, Jabin is the favorite.
Recently, the family returned from serving 15 years with the
International Mission Board in Southeast Asia. Craig worked in
logistics, primarily in Indonesia and Thailand. We discovered Craig’s
unique skill set and fit for what we were doing in local missions
through the International Mission Board. The timing of his return to
Pensacola and our growing need for someone with his particular
depth of experience appears uncanny, but we believe this to indicate
God’s leading for both our church and the Bonelli’s. Craig has
served and observed a Church to Church Food Distribution and the
Operation Christmas Child packing party. He has met with many
leaders in our church, been unanimously approved by our Missions
Committee and been affirmed by our Personnel Committee. It is
a credit to our church, and the sign of a promising future, to have
someone the caliber of Craig Bonelli joining our staff.
“I first met Craig and Charlotte at a church to church food event.
How appropriate! Besides being hard workers , they are wonderful
people that you will want to meet and get to know. Please
welcome them into the FBCP family!” - Dr. Andy White.
“After serving 15 years as a southern Baptist missionary in
Indonesia and Taiwan Craig was recommended to us by the
leadership at the IMB. The first time I called him I fell in love with
his heart for ministry , his passion for the gospel and his love
for his hometown of Pensacola. He also laughed at my jokes.
God’s timing is a beautiful thing to bring our needs and his gifts
together!!” - Al Stubblefield

need when we need it most.
A big shout-out to our FBCP youth group and the many wonderful
adults who lead them. They continue to show up and pack every
available food container for this ministry, even on their own school
holidays. Each packing event, 35-40 faithful volunteers go above

We fill the student/family blue bags on Thursday afternoons at
Weis Elementary. We meet at 2:30 p.m. and we are finished in
