First Baptist Church of Perryville will host We Care Perryville which includes a month-long series of special events and service projects with a free, community Block Party.   We Care Perryville, in coordination with town of Perryville, has sent volunteer work crews to meet a variety of community needs.

  Well over three hundred verses are concerned with the subject of Jesus’ resurrection in the New Testament. We are told that this event is a sign for unbelievers (Matt. 12:38-40); cf. John 20:24-29) as well as the answer for the believer’s doubt (Luke 24:38-43).

  What we celebrate is more than a popular holiday or a reason to dress up and go to church.  It is a central proof and confirming fact of many important things at the center of our faith.  Seven are provided below for your own study of the Bible.  It would be a nice Easter-time emphasis for you to pick one or two to read through each day.
