First Baptist Church of Henderson will hold a Maundy Thursday Vespers and Home Communion on Thursday, April 9, 2020, beginning at 7 p.m.

Maundy Thursday commemorates the events of the evening of Jesus’s life, including his institution of the Lord’s Supper before his betrayal and arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane. We normally gather as a church to worship and share communion, preparing our hearts for the remembrance of Good Friday and the pursuant wait for Easter Sunday.

This year we cannot gather in our Sanctuary, but those who can may gather virtually using Zoom.

During this service, we will read scriptures, offer prayers, meditate on music, and share communion with others in our homes.

Just as the disciples had to prepare for that last meal, we ask you to prepare. Prepare materially by making sure you have communion elements on hand, a bit of bread and a cup of juice for each participant. Prepare spiritually, praying beforehand that God’s presence will be real, uniting our hearts in mutual concern.

Please plan to log-in to the service 5-10 minutes early so that we may begin on time.

Free, Fresh Food Distribution Thurs, Feb 15, 2018

The First Baptist Church of Henderson, NC will coordinate a fresh food distribution on Thursday, February 15 from 10 a.m. until 12 p.m.  It will take place at the Vance County Regional Farmers Market, located at 210 Southpark Drive, off Beckford Drive.

First Baptist volunteer Betty Boyd said, “This is the same distribution that St. James Missionary Baptist Church has organized and coordinated. They have been offering this service every other month. They asked First Baptist to partner with them to bring this food distribution to the area all year. We are excited about the opportunity to supplement food resources for around 200 families each month.”

The food distribution is open to anyone and is on a first come/first served basis.  Citizens coming to the distribution are asked to remain in their car.  Police and Sheriff’s Department personnel will direct traffic into the Farmer’s Market parking lot.

Boyd said, “The distributions that I have volunteered for with St. James Baptist have usually ended around 11:15 a.m. when they have given out all boxes. If a car has two adults, they will receive two boxes of food. We are very excited to be able to bring this supplement of fresh vegetables and fruits to our community!”
