First Baptist Lynwood: 1/27/08

About Me

Location: Lynwood, California, United States

Welcome to the First Baptist Church of Lynwood's blog. If you are looking for a new church home, we believe you won't find a better one than with us here at FBC Lynwood. First Baptist is: A PLACE FOR FELLOWSHIP. First Baptist has always been known as a church that loves. Come and experience that love. A PLACE FOR LEARNING. The Bible is important to the people of First Baptist. It is the standard on which we base our values. Learning more about God's Word is a high priority here at FBC. A PLACE FOR SERVICE. Serving the Lord is one of the great joys of the Christian life. We at First Baptist offer many opportunities to do so, whether on one of our committees, as a teacher, a "prayer warrior", or helping to keep the property in good repair. A PLACE FOR WORSHIP. Our main goal as we meet together as a congregation is to praise and worship the wonderful Lord who blesses each of us so greatly.

Pastor's Homegoing

Pastor George Martindale was called home to our heavenly Father the night of January 24th. Pastor George had fought a long battle with pancreatic cancer. The battle is now over.

Our congregation extends our loving arms to his widow, Cynthia, his family, and his friends.

A memorial celebration was held on Sunday, January 27th in place of the normal Worship Service.

Donations and condolences may be sent in care of the church, 11200 Pope Avenue, Lynwood, CA 90262.
