PIERCETON — First Baptist Church of Pierceton invites the community to a ribbon cutting and open house for the Faris Missionary Manor from 2-4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 21. Faris Manor will be used as a ministry to missionaries who are on furlough or who are just passing through and need a place to stay and refresh themselves. The church will also offer use of the manor to other churches of like faith on a suggested donation basis to house missionaries, evangelists and other ministry guests they may have traveling through.

Faris Missionary Manor is dedicated in memory of Barbara Faris, a long-time resident of Pierceton and member of the church who loved to serve and who traveled on many short term missions trips to various parts of the world. The Faris Manor is located next to the church at 204 W. Market St., Pierceton. For more information, call (574) 594-2197.
