Good news from Jeff, God and Country video series on Sunday night, Record Fall Into Fun

Faith Connection                                         Connecting people with God, Others and Service
"God doesn’t promise to take us out of every storm but He does promise to give us peace in every storm"-from Sunday's message

 "Gratitude".  Gratitude is defined as the quality of being thankful.  This Sunday we will be looking at the dynamic of gratitude in our prayer life.  Gratitude plays an important role in prayer.  The title of the message is "Gratitude the Key to Peace" Join us this Sunday at 9 AM or 10:30 AM

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.  And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 (NASB)
This Sunday night  6 PM

"God and Country"


Whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, a liberal or a conservative, youll be challenged by Andy's perspective on the relationship between God and our country. In this message, Andy Stanley gives a compelling argument for continuing to involve God in the affairs of our nation.
Part 1: "In Search of a Conscience" (Romans 2:14–15)

In countries to which Christian civilization has spread,large numbers of people have covered themselves with a decent, but thin, veneer of Christianity. They have allowed themselves to become a little bit involved; enough to be respectable but not enough to be uncomfortable. Their religion is a great, soft cushion.-John Stott

Just got this message from Jeff:
Hey bro! Great news from the doctor! The tumor was benign and my heart is back in sinus rhythm! Things are healing and looking good! Praising God from whom all blessings flow!
My name is Billy Price and I have been the pastor of Faith Baptist Church for 41 years.  I graduated from Lynchburg Baptist College in Lynchburg, Virginia in 1975.  It is now known as Liberty University.  Upon graduation our little family of three moved to Covington Virginia to begin a new church.  Elaine, my wife; Robbie, my son and myself  started our grand adventure.  I was soon blessed with a daughter, Robin.  People often ask me did I know when I started I would be here 41 years later, I can honestly say no and God hasn't given me a reason leave.  I have enjoyed my ministry in the mountains of Virginia, if it is His will I hope to finish my race here, but that's up to Him.
