Hear the Talk and get the Truth!

 

Radio Show
  

First Priority has been blessed with a new Christian radio talk show, "Priority Talk with Greg Davis." Beginning in June we invite you to tune in to WXJC 92.5 FM, 850 AM or stream online at www.850wxjc.com. The show will air each day Monday through Friday from 8 - 10 a.m. In the talk radio format, we will be able to share with you each and every weekday and also hear back from you as you add your value, stories and opinions to the subjects we take on daily. Priority Talk will be an entertaining, informative talk show about issues and people that matter to Christians. We will explore culture, our kids, parenting, marriage, finances, health, church and ministry with a host of experts. In addition, we will have the radio wave platform to help tell the stories of so many of the amazing works that God is doing in and through His people in Greater Birmingham.

 

We hope that starting in June you will make this time a priority, because these things matter! Please tune in and participate in this new and exciting opportunity God is providing us to help one another in the journey. More information about show guests and topics will be coming soon.

Bags of Hope Opportunities

 

Bags of Hope

Have you filled a Bag of Hope for a displaced teen impacted by April's tornados? There are still opportunities to minister to teens through our Bags of Hope project. We added a new opportunity below; check it out! Here's how you can help:

 

1.) Purchase one or more Bags of Hope for $10 each and fill them with suggested items. A First Priority Representative will then distribute the bags to youth through schools and communities devastated by the recent tornados. For a complete listing of locations to pick-up/drop off bags as well as a suggested items list, please click here.

 

2.) If you are unable to physically obtain a Bag of Hope but would like to financially contribute towards one, please click here. In the comments section, type "Bags of Hope."

 

3.) We have just created an Amazon.com First Priority Bags of Hope "Wish List." Here you can purchase items online to fill a bag and the items will be shipped directly to First Priority to be placed in the bags. If you are not able to obtain a bag but would still like to help fill one, we encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity. To purchase items from our "Wish List" on Amazon.com, please click here.

 

4.) There is an immediate need for Bibles. Students who lost everything in the storms need Bibles. First Priority is able to obtain nice leather bound Bibles in bulk for $5 each from Family Christian Stores and LifeWay Christian stores. Will you consider sponsoring at least one Bible for a teen? Bibles are $5 each. Please click here to make your instant, secure donation for this effort. In the comments section type "Bibles" and the number of Bibles you would like to sponsor.

 

Please help us provide teens devastated by the storms with emotional and spiritual encouragement.
