Christmas Caroling - Self Class Provides Food

We will be having church-wide Christmas caroling on Wednesday, Dec. 19.

We will begin at 5 pm with Sandwiches and chips in the fellowship hall, go caroling, and then return to the fellowship hall for cookies, hot choc., coffee, and games.

Our class has been asked to help provide sandwiches for this event.
Please call the church office or email me if you would be able to provide sandwiches.

It's About Every Student Every Day

Self Study - Andrew

Hey Team:

I hope the study we just completed on "The Treasure Principle" (i.e. "you can't take it with you, but you can send it on ahead") has been helpful to you. It has certainly made me think about my responsibility as a Christian to generously share the blessings God has given to me with others. To what extent am I "laying up treasures in heaven" by the way I handle my finances? Is my financial focus just on me, my family (just as problematic in my opinion), or am I also taking into consideration the poor, the weak, etc.?

Bottom line: how we handle our money and possessions in this life is not a financial matter, it is a spritual matter. I pray that when we give an account of this area of our lives that He will say, "Well done, though good and faithful servant." I'm not there yet, but I'm going to press on!

This Sunday we will begin a new unit entitled, "Seven Words To Change Your Family." Wow, what a title! I plan to be there to find out what those seven words are -- and I pray you will also.

This Sunday is also the first Sunday of the month so we will take up our class offering.

Please make plans to attend our S.S. class Christmas party at the Selfs on December 14 at 6:00 p.m. (C.E.L.E. -- "come early, leave early").

Press on....
Andrew

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

John Fitzgerald Kennedy
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.....

-------------
Psalm 100
Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands!

Serve the LORD with gladness; Come before His presence with singing.

Know that the LORD, He is God;

It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;

We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.

Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.

For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.


Happy Thanksgiving to All!

Hey Team!

I love the lyrics to the song, "Give Thanks":

Give thanks,
With a grateful heart;

Give thanks,
To the Holy One

Give thanks,
Because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son.

And now,

Let the weak say I am strong;

Let the poor say I am rich;

Because of what the Lord has done,

For us.

Give thanks!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours
-- Give Thanks!

RE: S.S.

Andrew,

I like the t-shirt idea; however, being 53 years old with a two year old my shirt will not make it to retirement ……………….

Hey Team:

Let's continue to remember to pray for and encourage Dr. Travis and Sue as they prepare for a time of transition. Isn't it great to know that they intend to continue to be apart of the FBC family?

We will not be having a special business meeting this Sunday evening as previously announced. Additional time is needed before anything is presented to the church. However, you may be interested to know what the process will be as we move forward. According to our by-laws, when the church does not have a pastor:

1. The deacon officers shall nominate a Pastor Search Committee, with the approval of the active deacon body, for election by the church; and

2. The deacon officers shall recommend an interim pastor and/or nominate a Pulpit Supply Committee, with the approval of the active deacon body, for church approval.

Please be in prayer for our deacon officers: Clay Smith - chairman; Mike Beck - Vice Chairman; and Ted Wilson - Secretary.

Don't forget our annual S.S. Christmas Party at the Selfs on December 14. Our theme for this year ("Come Early; Leave Early") has been so well accepted by everyone that I thought we might make up some T-shirts for the event. Since T-shirts have a shelf life of anywhere from 12 - 20 years, we shouldn't have to make any new T-shirts until most of us retire. What do you think?

Press on.

Andrew
