It’s hard to believe the month of January has just about
come and gone. In just a few short weeks, springtime
will officially be here and we will be celebrating Easter!
We have many events coming up on the horizon in the
near future so mark your calendars and come join us.
Senior Adult Bible Study Luncheon – Our second Bible
Study Luncheon will take place on Thursday, February 18
at 11:30 a.m. Hopefully, this series of mini study
sessions will help prepare us for the F.B.C. Bible
Conference that we will be hosting in March. The meal
will be provided by the church, so sign up in the office if
you plan to attend.
Sanctuary Choir – I want to take this opportunity to
thank the members of the Sanctuary Choir for their
dedication and commitment to worship leadership. These
people freely give their time each week to rehearse on
Wednesday evenings to prepare for upcoming services
and special events. If you enjoy singing and are
interested in being a part of the choir, come join us on
Wednesday nights at 7:00 p.m.
Congratulations!!! – Congratulations go to Kalyn Avant
for being accepted to be a member of the Louisiana
Baptist All State Youth Choir! Acceptance into this
organization is based on a live audition that tests vocal
skills and musicianship. This year marks the thirty-fourth
year of this audition choir. Students from all over the
state of Louisiana will travel to Tennessee to share God’s
love with those who do not know Him. They will
perform 10 – 15 mission concerts in Memphis, Nashville,
and Chattanooga before returning home on June 10th.
The Tennessee Concert and Mission Tour is scheduled
for June 1 through 10, so let’s be in prayer for Kalyn as
God uses her to share His love through music.

Greetings First Winnfield Family,
This week I have been so encouraged. What a great
Sunday morning of worship that we had together. It has
been so good to see so many new and familiar faces over
the past several weeks. However, I NEED YOUR
HELP! First, don't simply see new faces, make them a part
of your worship experience for the day. Introduce yourself
and ask them a few questions about themselves. Invite
them to sit with you if they have not come with anyone
specific. At the end of the service introduce them to two
others as well. When a church connects visitors to more
than 3 members, those visitors most often become a part of
that church. Finally, at the end of the service, thank them
for coming and ask them if you can introduce them to
me. After I get to speak with them, either ask them to
lunch OR let them know that you will be looking forward
to seeing them the next week at church. Friendly churches
are growing churches. When visitors come to our church
they are asking to find Jesus. Connect them to Him by
