While there are many praise worthy things about our community (Cabool, MO and its surrounding area), do you ever stop and think about the struggles within the community. I mean really stop and think about it. Does anything stick out? One of the struggles that seems to shine is the breakdown of the family. Many young families are struggling in their marriages and relationships. This problem will continue to prevail in future generations unless something changes. While this is a horrendous problem, it has even greater significance because marriage and dating relationships say something about God. At the beginning of God’s book it states,
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him male and female he created them. (Genesis 1:27).
God created us to reflect his image and this is revealed even in our relationship with one another. The problem is that we live in a fallen world full of sin which causes quarrels among us. God’s Word does however provide us with hope. That is why this Valentine’s Banquet will celebrate the hope found in God’s Word. This will provide YOU with a wonderful opportunity to encourage your friends and family that you care so much about to strengthen their relationships this Valentines Day. Invite them to participate in this fun-filled evening of food, games, and interactive teaching.
Beginning at 6:00pm on February 13th the youth will be serving a nice meal. During our time together we will be having door prizes as well as some entertaining games. We will also have a time of interactive teaching from Joseph Braden. Joseph Braden has been pastor of First Baptist Church of Saint Peters, MO since 1996 and is an adjunct professor at Missouri Baptist University. He has been married to his wife Diane for 33 years. They have three sons (Andrew, Thomas and Grant), two daughter-in-laws (Casey and Katy), and three grandchildren (Callista, Jett, and Crew). He has been a mentor to Pastor Leonard since 2002 and continues to bless his family.
Everything is free of charge, however the youth will accept donations to offset the cost. If you are having trouble finding childcare we have a limited amount available.
If you are interested please register today, so we can prepare for your arrival.
