Our Sympathy...

This morning, Paris Fire Department responded to a single-vehicle accident where unfortunately the single occupant succumbed to his injuries. The driver, Layton Slade Baker, was a firefighter with Paris Fire Department since April 2017. He was 24 years old. Slade was assigned to B-Shift throughout his time with the PFD. He was an excellent firefighter, always striving to better himself both professionally and as a person. Slade loved life and was always smiling, yet he was the first to offer help to anyone who needed it. He had a true servant’s heart. No matter whether you were lucky enough to either know Slade on a personal basis or had met him in passing, he left a lasting impression on all.

Paris Fire Department would ask everyone to please keep Firefighter Baker’s family and friends in their thoughts and prayers throughout this extremely difficult time. Paris Fire Department has stationed an honor guard to remain with his body during this time.

Weekly Update - 10/20

"An Elder Is A Man Of Character"
(1 Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-9)

The qualities listed have to do with character, habits, and personality.

A Man and His Fundamental Relationships:
1. As to others
2. As to his family
3. As to God and His word
4. As to things
5. As to himself

Bottom Line:
1. He is a man of highest character, respect, and integrity.
2. He is not a perfect man, but beyond criticism and blame.
3. He is a man of God you are willing to trust and follow.
