Times have changed. While combing through pictures related to the upcoming 150th Anniversary of First Baptist Church Richardson, I came across a couple of pictures that caught my attention. Consider this – This is the Dorcus Class from First Baptist Church Richardson. (Or was it called Mount Calvary at that time?) I am not sure […]
When school begins, Baptists have “Promotion Sunday”. Maybe it has been like this since the beginning of time. (Ha – Ha) I do not know, but I do know that the children look forward to this “Promotion Sunday” just as much as they look forward to a new year at school. It is another sign […]
For the past few weeks, I have been working on a committee that is helping to plan the 150th Anniversary of First Baptist Church Richardson. There are not many churches that can make that claim to fame. We are even older than First Baptist Church Dallas. Looking through the archives at the old pictures is […]
Vacation Bible School brings back such fond memories. A bazillion years ago, we marched into the sanctuary and said pledges to the American flag, the Christian flag and the Bible. In our classrooms, we heard Bible stories, memorized Bible verses, heard character stories, and ate snow cones. Oh, how I looked forward to the snow cones. We […]
Brett Gibson, our Serve Pastor at First Baptist Church Richardson, asked the Living Stones Bible Fellowship Class (we do have a reputation) to freshen up the teacher’s lounge at Northrich Elementary. (Carol Post was our contact for this project.) Our church has adopted this neighborhood school, and strives to share God’s love with the teachers […]
I am embarrassed to write this true confession. While serving dinner at Mercy Street I said out loud, “I don’t know if I have anything new to blog about our trip to Mercy Street this month.” For shame! Do NOT get me wrong. I love writing about Mercy Street – the faith based ministry that […]
As I mentioned before, the Living Stones were asked to update the teacher’s lounge at Northrich Elementary. Northrich is the elementary school that First Baptist Church Richardson has adopted. Mrs. Ralph (logical choice) is leading our efforts to make this teacher’s lounge a haven from the bustle and stress of the classroom. I know from […]
As a preschooler in Sunbeams my favorite Bible verse was Psalm 122:1 – I was glad when they said unto me. Let us go into the house of the Lord. Honestly, this verse is one of my earliest memories. I loved and still love being in the house of the Lord. Sure this verse is […]
It had been a while, but the Living Stones and the Albers Bible Fellowship Classes from First Baptist Church Richardson returned to Buckner International to sort shoes. It was good to be back. The big news of the day was… Drum roll please…. We picked up forty-three boxes of shoes (that would be 693 pairs […]
There were several types of meatballs served at the Living Stones Christmas Party. Excellent Cook Nancy sent me her recipe. It is so simple and delicious – I wanted to share. Trouble is – I do not have a picture. See the blank spaces on the table. That is where the meatballs eventually were. See […]
