Each member is assigned a Deacon to help them navigate Spiritually through good and bad times. If you will be entering the Hospital, have experienced a death in your family, are in need of intercessory prayer or are ill and would like to be served communion at home please contact your Deacon and the Church Office at 201-568-3410. If you do not know who your Deacon is, please contract our Chairman, Dea-con George Horton and he will give you the name of your Deacon. God Bless!

Please search your hearts and your cupboards to help the needy. There are many

problems in the world that we can not solve, but hunger in our own community is not

one of them! We can stamp out hunger in Bergen County if we all pitch in and do

our part. Please consider contributing food to the Center for Food Action. You can

put food donations in the large container near the steps in the foyer. We thank you

and your neighbors will thank you also.

As we prepare for the festivities of the summertime, let’s mark our calendars ahead of time so that our

projects for the Fall are not forgotten. With that being said, from September 2013-December 2013, the

Women's Fellowship Committee of the First Baptist Church of Englewood NJ will be collecting NEW

Blankets to donate to the Homeless Shelters of Englewood, Teaneck and vicinity. We will also keep a few

of the Blankets to distribute to homeless folks we may Encounter on the street. If you have any questions,

please feel free to contact Sister Tracey M. Rivers at: (347) 578-2857

A Christian gentleman is looking for an apartment to rent. If

you have or know of an available apartment, please call the

church office at 201-568-3410.
