Easter Sunday 2011 will not soon be forgotten at Faith.  One man told me, "It was the best service he had ever been in."  We lost power during the music service in the first service and I was forced to preach in the dark using a flashlight.  Because of quick thinking on part of our members, chairs were quickly set up on the front lawn and the second service was held outside.  God blessed and we had two great services with over 400 in attendance.  Even without power the praise team, Jam Kids and Emory sang to the delight of the congregation.  God blessed with beautiful weather and you couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting.  I want to thank everyone who jumped in and helped make Easter 2011 such a special Sunday.

CHECK MATES

  Would you be willing to be a check mate?  As our church has grown, it is sometimes hard to keep up with everyone who is attending.
We all sit in the same pew every Sunday morning.  If we could find someone who would be responsible for each pew, a check mate.  If a regular attender is missing for a couple of weeks give them a call or send them a card, remember their birthday etc.  In other words keep a check on your pew.  We have 37 pews so we would need 37 people in each of the two morning services to become"check-mates".   I am very thankful for those of you who have signed up to be a check mate.  If you would be interested in participating please call Elaine at the church office (962-6335)

Bro. Billy

John 11:21-27 (HCSB) 
21 Then Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother wouldn’t have died. 22 Yet even now I know that whatever You ask from God, God will give You.” 23 “Your brother will rise again,” Jesus told her. 24 Martha said, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in Me, even if he dies, will live. 26 Everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die—ever. Do you believe this?” 27 “Yes, Lord,” she told Him, “I believe You are the Messiah, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.”
