 Text Box: From the Pastor

Text Box: Dear Church Family,               The Mighty Men of God Conference was such a blessing.  We had about 35 or more men come down and pray during the Sunday morning services.  Thank you to our Men at Work team and all those who made this past weekend a great event for God.               I started the How to Build a Family Firewall series Sunday.  During the next two weeks I will continue with Like Father Like Son on April 30 and Staying on the Right Path on May 7 which is Senior Recognition Sunday in the second service.               SIGN UP for May 4th National Day of Prayer.  We will eat in the Welcome Center at 12:00 noon and then walk over to the court house to pray at 12:15.  It sure would be an honor to God to have 150 people come.  Last year we had over 100. Your pastor, Wendell

The Transitional Focus Team is hosting a Listen Up! Workshop on Sunday, July 13, 3:00 – 7:00 p.m. We will not have our usual worship service that Sunday evening. Pastor Henry will be leading us in a fun time of learning ten listening principles and five listening skills. You will appreciate the opportunity to use what you learn to listen more effectively to your spouse, children, grandchildren, church members, co-workers, and other family and friends. Call the church office to register for this special event so we can know how to set up the meeting room, provide child care, and have adequate refreshments.

 

 


June order forms are available and due in the church office by noon on Monday, June 16.

 Feeding Your Mind
with Good Books 

Do you find yourself threatening, repeating your instructions, or raising your voice in an attempt to get your children to obey?  Are you discouraged because it seems you just can’t reach the heart of your child?  Through personal experience and the practical application of Scripture, Ginger Plowman in her book, Don’t Make Me Count to Three, encourages and equips moms to reach past the outward behavior of their children and dive deeply into the issues of the heart.  Ginger’s candid approach will help moms move beyond the frustrations of not knowing how to handle issues of disobedience and into a confident, well-balanced approach to raising their children. Check this book out in the FBC library.

Hey guys! It’s Brian! We are days away from Big Stuff Camp! It is going to be a great week!  Make sure you are at the church Saturday morning around 7:30 to 7:40 a.m. so we can load up and be ready to depart at 8 a.m.

 Thanks to the Snodgrass family for allowing the youth to come over to swim after church Sunday. A good time was had by all. Continue to keep the youth in your prayers as we travel. There will be no Prime Time next Wednesday, July 2.
Grace and Peace.

“May the Lord bless you … that you will see … your children’s children” (Ps. 128:5-6, HCSB). “Children’s children are a crown to the aged” (Prov. 17:6, NIV). This week we are spending a few days with our son Chuck and his family in Alabama. Recently we have attended many activities with our son Craig and his family who live in Nashville. We enjoy the time with our six grandchildren to observe their rapid growth in so many dimensions of life. What a joy to see the next generation growing as God intended them to grow.

The Psalmist wrote: “I will declare wise sayings; I will speak mysteries from the past -  things we have heard and known and that our fathers have passed down to us. We must not hide them from their children, but must tell a future generation the praises of the Lord, His might, and the wonderful works He has performed” (Ps. 78:2-4, HCSB).

Whether we are grandparents or not, we all have the privilege and responsibility to have a godly influence on succeeding generations. “I will sing about the Lord’s faithful love forever; with my mouth I will proclaim Your faithfulness to all generations.” (Ps. 89:1, HCSB)

I encourage you to participate in the Listen Up! Workshop on Sunday, July 13. You will enjoy learning to listen more effectively to all generations.
     Thanks to everyone who improved our facilities last Saturday.

Your pastor and friend in Christ,

               Henry Webb

A note from Ms. Josie:
I just want to say that it was a blessing to go to Crosspoint Camp.   This was a new experience for me and it was a great surprise.   The staff at camp made sure that the kids were having fun and focusing on Jesus’ love all week.  At each event scripture and how God should be in every part of our lives was the theme.  I know a couple of the students have come forward with decisions they made while at camp but I am sure that camp has left an impact on all of us that attended.  Thank you for supporting such an event.

 

 

 

My thanks to Amy Brown, Pamela Seward and Larry Seward who supplied for Lucretia and me last Sunday, June 22, while we were in MO for her niece’s wedding.
