This Sunday  At Faith . . . (AM)      This Sunday I want to ask you a question.  What kind of odor are you putting off in your life?  I don't mean to offend you, but the Bible asks the same question.  Our text is found in 2 Corinthians 2:15-16 15 For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. 16 To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for these things? 2 Corinthians 2:15-16 (NKJV) God uses us to help people around us experience Christ Christ has different impact on different people It is only as Christ works through us that God is able to influence those around us ​  Sunday night    Chris Chesley will be preaching Sunday night  on the "Clear Choice" ****PLEASE NOTE***** In response to feedback from our church family we have decided to offer one of the groups in the worship center each night during November.  All of the other groups will still be offered.  If you prefer to continue to meet in the worship center, the following subject will be taught, no sign up is necessary.  Just come to the worship center on Sunday nights in November for this group “The Almighty and the Dollar” –A discussion on finances from a biblical position. This group is led by Ron Seabolt and Harry Newman and will be using resources from Dave Ramsey “Grow U” is a collection of different small group options we are offering at FBC each Sunday night in November.  Sign up at the welcome center and the group size is limited.  A chidren's class will be provided during the month of November. Small groups offered will be: ”The Elephant Room”- A study from “The Truth About Same Sex Marriage” written by: Dr. Erwin Lutzer (President of Moody Bible Institute). This group will be led by Chris Chesley “All About Attitudes” is a small group for women led by Elaine Price, dealing with the important topic of a Christ honoring attitude in every area of our lives. This study will be based around the book and accompanying video series called, “Lord Change My Attitude, Before It’s Too Late” by Pastor James MacDonald.  "The Witnessing Woman"This small group will be led by Shirley Wolfe. In this small group, women will be encouraged to get excited about personal evangelism, and will discuss practical ways of actually leading another person to salvation through Christ. “Take The Plunge!” This small group will be meeting in the home of Connie Baker.  They will be using a dynamic video series by Louie Giglio  In this series, Louie provides the biblical challenge for  all Christians to come out of a spiritual stagnation and to dive into a real, lasting spiritual maturity in Christ.
