This Sunday  At Faith . . .     We will begin our new sermon series this Sunday morning.  In this series we are looking at five major purposes for our lives.   We were planned for God’s pleasure, so your first purpose is to offer real worship. We were formed for God’s family, so your second purpose is to enjoy real fellowship. We were created to become like Christ, so your third purpose is to learn real discipleship. We were shaped for serving God, so your fourth purpose is to practice real ministry. We were made for a mission, so your fifth purpose is to live out real evangelism. The core pupose around which all the others circle is pleasing God.  How do I please God?  I worship Him, but this is much more than a service or a style of music.  I will focus on Noah, because the Bible tells us that he pleased God.  Are you pleasing God?  How do you know?  Join us this Sunday to find out the Biblical way to please God and thus fulfill the core purpose of your life. Sunday night (6 PM) Chris will be speaking on "Sweet and Sour" Prayer Rally Focusing on the spiritual needs of our nation.  Wednesday, February 29th (6:30pm to 8:30pm) at Alleghany High School Auditorium.  Guest Speaker will be Matt Barber, Liberty Counsel (www.lc.org) A love offering will be taken at the event to cover cost, but the admission is free and the event is open to the public.  This event has been organized by Michelle Montgomery, members of Faith and other area churches.  Any questions contact Michelle Montgomery or Staci Martin. – no service at FBC that night.
