Widows of the Word group

Amboy Baptist Church has a very special group of ladies who meet to support one another every month.

MISSION STATEMENT: John 13:34 "A new commandment I give you, that you love on another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another." We follow God's commandments and the instructions given in His Word. We are to be aware of widows in the church and community that need our help and support, sharing Jesus with love and providing hope and encouragement. While doing this, we draw nearer to Jesus Christ and each other. We will encourage them to find a home church to provide fellowship. We meet the second Tuesday of every month at noon at Amboy Baptist Church for a lunch, a time of sharing and a brief meeting. An open invitation is extended to any widow who might like to join us. You will be welcome and find some new friends who share your situation.

NEXT MEETING: February 14th. We are having a baked potato bar. Please bring a topping to share as we enjoy lunch and one another’s company.

Christmas Ornament Exchange

• 2022, Christmas, Events

Thank you to all who came to the ornament exchange and shared a fun time together!

New Day & Time! Saturday December 10th at 11:00am

Our annual ornament exchange will now be held on a SATURDAY AFTERNOON to help ensure that everyone who would like to be there is able to join in. No more driving in the dark and rain - now you get to drive in the daytime rain!

Please join us for a fun-filled family event done in the style of “white elephant” gifting. This is probably the only time you’re going to get away with “stealing” in church!

Bring a wrapped ornament for each person participating ($5 limit, please) and place it under the Christmas tree. Then, wait your turn and choose to open a new surprise, or steal an ornament from someone else! Nobody leaves empty-handed; there will be enough ornaments for everyone. What you take home might not be what you expect!

Refreshments of finger foods along with hot and cold drinks will be served in the lobby. A contribution to the snacks or beverages is not necessary, but always appreciated.

• Bible Study, Download, Free, Printable

Use these Bible Study pages to help you meditate on the scriptures that you read.

Do you need help remembering what you read in the Bible each day? Maybe you start out with good intentions to live out your Bible lessons, only to forget to be Christ-like during your commute. Do you have a New Year's Resolution to read and retain more of the Word of God?

Try using these Bible study pages to help you dig a little deeper into your daily reading routine. These pages, which are free to download and print, feature the S.O.A.P. method of Bible study. S.O.A.P is a method of Bible study that helps you to slow down and think about what you've just read and create a plan on how to live it out.

S - Scripture

Write down the scripture that you've read. Whether you write out the entire passage or just the chapter and verse location, writing things down is proven to help you remember!

O - Observations

What stood out to you as you read the scriptures? Did you think of something to look into deeper? Did you begin to ponder the meaning of a word? Was a moment in your life brought to mind? This is a place for you to jot down the things that pop into your mind as you read and reflect.

A - Application

"All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;" - 2 Timothy 3:16 [NASB]

There is always value in God's Word. How are you inspired to apply this section of scripture to your life today and moving forward?

P - Prayer

What is your prayer regarding this scripture today? Journaling prayers is a wonderful way to look back and see how God answers them. Write down your prayers and praises to God and you spend your special time together.
