Last Sunday was a real blessing for Elaine and myself. I had the opportunity to baptize our grandson Evan. We were at the annual baptism of Grace Church in Lynchburg, it took place at a Christian camp named Eagle Eyrie not far from Lynchburg. It was a beautiful day and it was neat to see all the children following the Lord in believers baptism. Evan is Robbie and Kathy's son.
Missionary Richard Parker will be our special guest Wednesday night in the worship center. Richard is responsible for a far reaching ministry in Brazil through Word of Life Missions. Hope you can join us this Wednesday (7 PM) and see what God is doing in Brazil.
The ministry of Word of Life in Belém was inaugurated in February of 1992 due to the work of missionaries, Richard and Harriet Parker. The burning desire of this couple was to prepare the youth of Brazil to reach the river communities with the Gospel of Christ. Since then, the ministry has served the communities and churches of this area in seven areas.

LIFE SIGNS CELELBRATING 37 YEARS OF CHANGED LIVESIF you would like to participate by holding up your sign, contact the church office. You create your sign on one side it can say forgiven, blessed, delivered etc. and on the flip side you can write in big letters for all to see what you have been delivered from, how you have been blessed, what God has forgiven you of etc. We want Faith to show signs of LIFE, please participate on Anniversary Sunday
Let me illustrate
You can pick up your poster board at the church office, be creative and give a public testimony for the Lord without saying a word. Has He saved you, delivered you, blessed you? Let the redeemed of the Lord say so! Hope you will share in the celebration. Don't forget we are heading up to Grace Bible for food, fun, music and fellowship following the morning service. Hope to see you then.
On Saturday August 11 folks from Faith Baptist will be involved in an outreach at the West Virginia State Fair from 10 AM to 2 PM, we are looking for people to be involved through face painting and the wordless book. If you would like to be a part of this evangelistic outreach please see Chris Chesley (960-0504) or a member of the Backyard Lights study group.
