Welcome to Worship
                          at First Baptist Church in Beverly!

We welcome you to worship this morning. If you did not have the chance to sign in on your
way into the service, we invite you to do so as you leave; this helps us to know you were here
and gives you the opportunity to share with us any prayer requests you may have or to re-
quest more information about our church. We are so pleased to gather with you! You can
also speak with Cindy Maybeck or Daniel Johnson (our Congregational Engagement Associ-
ate) following the service.

There are Prayer Request cards in the pew rack in front of you. If you would like to take a
moment to fill one out with a prayer concern you would like shared or like the ministers to
know, please do so, and then place it in the offering plate when they are passed. Prayer con-
cerns that should be kept for ministers only should have that designation written on them.

The chancel flowers this morning are given in memory of Margaret Davey.

Prayground news for children! We encourage children in Grade 1 and above to make use of
the Prayground space at the front of the room while they worship. The prayground is a child-
friendly place for the quiet enjoyment of worship. Our Children’s Class will meet during
worship, following stepsitters and is for children through grade 5. Child Care for children
Kindergarten age and younger is provided throughout our service, in the Littlest Learners
room on the main level, located through the double doors at the front of the sanctuary. Our
Childcare Coordinator, who also regularly staffs the room, is Abby Johnstone, an alum of
our Youth Fellowship program, and preschool teacher at Glen Urquhart School in Beverly.
Abby will be assisted weekly by a rotating team of outstanding young people from our Youth
Fellowship program. All adults who work with our children have been CORI-checked. We
always encourage families and caregivers to do what is best for their child and their family
during the worship time. We do hope that older youth (above grade 5) will participate in
worship; a new youth class will be forming for them in the coming weeks at a time separate
from worship.
