Join us for worship on Sunday, January 11, 2026, at the First Baptist Church of Crown Heights as we gather in gratitude, trust, and praise. The service opens with a powerful Song of Praise from the Unique David Chavis Male Chorus, What He’s Done for Me, setting a tone of thanksgiving. Minister Suzette Spann-Scarborough will lead the Call to Worship, followed by the beloved Morning Hymn O How I Love Jesus (#291), inviting us to reflect on the depth of our devotion.
Rev. Beaulah E. Smith will guide us in congregational prayer, and the choir will offer a joyful choral response with God Has Smiled on Me by Rev. James Cleveland. We’ll then hear Life at First Baptist from Sis. Alecia Mason before receiving Pastoral Emphasis and a warm welcome from Rev. Dr. Christine Caton. During the Ministry of Giving, you are invited to support the work of the church—please use the link in the description to give online.
The Scripture reading from Psalm 23 will remind us of God’s faithful guidance and care. Our hearts will be prepared through the sermonic meditation Staying in Your Will by Men of Standard, leading into the sermon and invitation, “Even Though…God Is” preached by Rev. Dr. Ava Jolley.
The service will conclude with the Benediction led by Rev. Caton, sending us forth confident in God’s presence and promises. Come worship with us and be encouraged by the goodness of the Lord who walks with us through every season.
