Fiebig To Teach And Minister In Moldova The people of First Baptist Church of North Liberty, have accepted an exciting opportunity in our obedience to God's Command as revealed in the Scriptures. For some 70 years, the people of Russia and her territories have suffered many hardships. The greatest hardship of all was the inability to tell others of the wonderful Grace of God through Jesus Christ, who died for them and rose again in order to give eternal life to anyone who would believe in Him. The believers of Christ of Russia, were not allowed to have written material or even train their church leaders. An invitation was extended to the people of the First Baptist Church to send their Pastor, Ernest L. Fiebig, to the small country of Moldova and train their Church Pastors and leaders in God’s Word, the Bible. Moldova has Romania as her eastern border and the Ukraine surrounding her on the other three sides. Pastor Fiebig is departing March 23, 1994 and arriving in Kishnev, Moldova on the 26th of March. He will be teaching in a College for one month. Each classroom session will be 3 hours in duration. Pastor Fiebig will be teaching: “The Bible And The Cults" and “The Bible And Missions". On the weekends he shall be out in the countryside, teaching other pastors and preaching in their churches. First Baptist Church is excited in the sharing of their Pastor with people that have never been trained in His Word. We want all Believers of Christ to be well versed in the Scriptures, therefore we eagerly send our pastor. Pastor Kevin Alber, the Assistant Pastor for Youth and Music shall be filling in the pulpit while Pastor Fiebig is gone. Pastor Kevin has recently become a part of the staff of First Baptist, moving from Ohio to North Liberty. He is very active with the teens of the Church and community. Pastor Fiebig will be returning April 24. You are cordially invited to visit First Baptist of North Liberty, 407 W. Elm. North Liberty and hear of the wonderful opportunity being made available to this local church. Sunday School is at 9:30 a.m. Morning Worship is 10:30 and Evening Worship is at 7:00 p.m. You are welcome to attend. Commercial television was not permitted in England until 1955.

FALCONS ROMP OVER CAVALIERS 83-64 TUESDAY The John Glenn Falcons bounced back from a lack-luster game on Saturday night to completely dominate the Culver Cavaliers in the first game of the 1994 Plymouth Sectional basketball tourney. If Saturday’s loss to Tippecanoe Valley was no more than a wake-up call, it did the job as the Falcons led all the way to win by a big margin 83-64. The victory was the 19th for Glenn this year to go with three losses as they will be meeting their old nemesis of recent years, Bremen in Friday's second contest Coach Gordon Mosson's crew left little to doubt early in the ballgame. They got of to a good start, going inside against the Cavaliers and moving the ball well again to take an 18-7 first period lead. Nathan Lichtenbarger had seven of Glenn’s first quarter points with Toby Gardner and Jayson Kincaid chipping in with five and four as they took command early. It got more one-sided in the second stanza. The lead was stretched to 18 by halftime as the Falcons outscored the Cavaliers 19-12 to move ahead 37-19 by the main intermission. Again team balance was a factor in this 16 minute stretch with Kincaid and Gardner leading the way with 10 and nine at halftime The third quarter found action fast and scoring to match as they Falcons left no doubt in the minds of any of the good crowd on hand as they moved ahead by 26 on the strength of a 27 point third quarter Culver did score a lot more in the second half, mainly due to the efforts of Strycker, who had 13 in the third period and ended with 21 for the night, all in the second half. All five of Glenn's starters were in the scoring column in the third period and they lead 64-38 on their wav to their final margin of victors. 84-63. Kincaid and Gardner led the Falcons again with 23 and 21 respectively. but Litchenbarger and Steve Snell both hit double figures with 14 and 11.
