Midweek Refuel
Midweek Refuel at Millington First Baptist Church offers an array of activities to refresh your spirit and deepen your relationship with Christ. It’s a time when we break away from the busyness of the week to rejuvenate our faith, connect with our church family, and nourish our souls with God’s Word. Midweek services provide an opportunity to delve deeper into the Scriptures, ask questions, and apply God’s truths to our daily lives.

We invite you to join us on this adventure as we learn from Hannah, Samuel and Saul. This verse-by-verse study will examine the barren Hannah who persistently pleads for a son so that she can, in turn, give him over to the Lord’s service. God raises Samuel up to be a prophet and the last of the judges. Over time, the people demand a king and God gives them Saul. In chapters 8-15 we learn of Saul’s victories, defeats, and sins. From one chapter to the next, the narrative presents challenges that will aid anyone who is seeking to honor God in this life.

We believe that absolute freedom from any addiction is available and can be an experienced reality in anyone no matter who you are or what you have done. This group is designed to treat our life-controlling problems Jesus’ way. As God heals our heart of root problems, negative symptoms naturally disappear as well. We can help you or a loved one who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, chemical addiction, sexual addiction, eating disorders, gambling, and a host of other life-controlling problems.

10 Essential Christian Truths
Whether we’ve been Christians for years, discovered faith in Jesus recently, or are still wondering what it’s all about, we share similar questions about why and how to live out our faith. We wonder: What are we made for? What does it look like to know God deeply? Why are we called to reflect His light to those around us—and how do we do that? Join author and pastor David Platt in his ten-session series as he examines foundational truths for becoming mature disciples of Christ.
Grief Share
Co-ed (Wed @ 6:30)

Tuesday Adult Refuel Groups
Isaiah
Women (Tues @ 9:30)
Led by Timmie Wiginton
Location: Gym Game Room
Trust is at the heart of every healthy relationship, especially your relationship with God. It’s one thing to say you rest in God, but does your stress level, worry, or general lack of peace give evidence that you rely on Him? In this 7-session study, Melissa Spoelstra encourages you to let go of striving and learn to trust in God’s character, His comfort, and even His correction. As you study the book of Isaiah – from the prophet’s challenges to the nation of Israel to prophecies of the Messiah – you’ll see that you can trust God more than your own human effort or the counterfeits the world suggests.
Can You Still Trust God
Women (Tues @ 9:30)
Led by Jeannie Ticer
Location: Fellowship Hall
When things are going your way, trusting the Lord is easy. But what happens when painful trials, unmet needs, or lost hopes assail you? Keeping your confidence in God when you’re hurting or confused can be difficult. Charles Stanley has written often and sensitively on coping with adversity in Christian life. Now, in a new compilation of his best writings on the topic, Dr. Stanley shares wisdom for believing God’s goodness and receiving His blessings, even in the most trying of times.
Special Needs
(Tues @ 9:30)
Led by Sandy Hendrix & Melinda Forsythe
Location: Room C101
Our Special Needs Ministry provides a loving and accepting environment where we provide an opportunity to build a relationship with God through a faith-based mid-week group. We use a multi-sensory approach to reinforce biblical truths through interactive Bible stories, crafts, and games. This ministry serves the church by helping with tasks related to special events and also enjoy times of fellowship off campus (zoo, bowling, museums, etc.).
Thursday Adult Refuel Groups
Keep It Shut : What to say. How to say it. And when to say nothing at all.
Women (Thur @ 6:00 PM)
Led by Pam Hutcheson and Sharon Hambick
Location: Off-campus at Pam Hutcheson’s home Begins April 4th
Have you ever said something you wished you could take back?
The Bible has a lot to say about the tongue and the kind of power it has. In his New Testament letter, James tells us that it can corrupt the whole body. The book of Proverbs claims that “death and life are in the power of the tongue.”
Keep It Shut explores the how’s (and how-not-tos) of dealing with our own words (and our silences), so that you can reduce regret and relational tension and deepen your relationship with God, the One true Word.
Widows & Widowers
(Thur @ 10:00 AM)
Led by Carl Cline and Betti Owens
Location: Family Life Center
Practical and straightforward, yet warm and compassionate, this group will be an encouragement to many, as grieving people often think something is wrong with them when their grief doesn’t proceed as neatly as planned and deal with multiple emotions all at one time. This support group is here to help address the issues grieving people face but are often hesitant to mention to others and desires to build one another up and be there for each other through their loss.
