Frozen Food for Families

Take some time to put up some food in your freezer to share tomorrow or look through what you have on hand to share.  Bring it to my Sunday School classroom at FBC, K  before Sunday School in the morning.  The food will be given to the families tomorrow. Thanks for helping meet some needs.

Please add John Orr to your prayer list.  He was married to my Aunt Naomi.  Early Friday morning he thought he had a new heart problem, but tests yesterday did not show a heart issue.  He will have gall bladder tests next week.

Also, add Mr. Frankie Gehringer if he is not already on your list.  In addition to his ongoing problems, he got tripped and has an ankle problem.

I hope this Easter season contains time to recognize and celebrate what Jesus did for each of us and how that affects us today.   I hope you also have an opportunity to share/pass on the meaning of the Easter season.

Good Friday

West Rome Baptist Church offers immersive ‘Journey’ event through Jesus Christ’s last days on earth

Floyd – Rome november – rome northwest gerogia credit union – new ad

Posted: Thursday, April 2, 2015 8:00 am
The members of West Rome Baptist Church are inviting everyone to immerse themselves in the moments that led to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ through a special, self-guided tour.
The event — Journey to the Cross — began Wednesday evening and continues today from 6-9 p.m. and from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Good Friday at the 914 Shorter Ave. church.
Admission is free. Beginning with The Last Supper, visitors are able to wander freely through areas set up to resemble the places where important events in Christ’s final hours took place.
People can go through the Garden of Gethsemane, the courtyard where Christ was taken to see Pontius Pilate, and then the place of his crucifixion and resurrection.
“Our members and volunteers worked really hard to make each setting as realistic as possible,” Pastor Jarrod Roberts said.
Along the way, notes and displays contain biblical passages and information about certain items and how they relate to the scene.
Everyone who attends gets a reference book to follow along with. It also contains links to get information on a mobile device, including videos that correspond to each area.
A scavenger hunt is available for children, and guests may take communion at the end of the program.
“We really feel that if a person comes through, they have worshipped the Lord,” Roberts said.
This is the second year that West Rome Baptist has organized the event.
It was only held from 6-9 p.m. last year on Good Friday, and Roberts said more than 700 people of all ages participated.
“It really blew us away,” Roberts said. “So this year we wanted to have it opened as many times as possible.”
By being open all day on Good Friday, Roberts said he hopes people will be moved to come and spend more time going through the exhibits.
“One of the things about last year was we had a lot of people in line, so you were kind of forced to immediately move on to the next thing,” Roberts said. “You didn’t have time to reflect on the moment and the message.”
Both adult and child programs are offered for the event along with a special walk-through for college students.
