Pastor's Update Faith Baptist Church

This Sunday                                                               June 19,2011                                                     ___________________________________________________ Morning (9 AM and 10:30 AM) This Sunday I will be finishing a two-part sermon series.   The God-Pointed Life In the second part of this series our focus will be on Noah.  Noah like David lived a God-Pointed Life.  His impact was crucial in the life of his children. In recognition of Father's Day we will be looking at Noah's impact on his children. His children had a tough choice to make: follow their dad into the ark or follow the majority belief of their culture.  They chose to follow their dad and the rest is history. This Sunday we have a gift for each dad present, the teen praise team is singing and Tim Bradley will have a special song for us, hope to see this Sunday._______________________________________________________ Night (6 PM) NO SERVICE BECAUSE OF FATHER'S DAY ___________________________________________________________________________________

___The Mexico Mission Team is leaving this Saturday 6 AM at

the church, come help us send them off with prayer and please hold them

up in prayer all next week while they are gone

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) _________________________ Hope to see you Sunday Have a great day Bro.
