  <description>It’s time to celebrate the important role Connect Groups are playing in the ministry of the First Baptist Church at the Mall and in the lives of our people. God has blessed and we’ve had a great year.  So has many of other Connect Classes.  It’s something to celebrate.   We’ll be presenting our vision and goals to God at the altar. This Sunday, March 6 at 6 pm   It will be a memorable moment. It will be one of those times when we’ll look back And say, “I remember when…”   This is BIG.  You won’t want to miss it.   Add Sara Groves in concert And you have a perfect evening Celebrating Group Successes Applauding group leadership &amp; committing to God-size goals.</description>
