This Sunday  At Faith      This Sunday I will be looking at the "When of Christmas" from Galatians 4:4 4 But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, Galatians 4:4 (NKJV)  God is at work in the course of human events and many times we don't realize it, but Christmas is a reminder of this, Jesus came just when God wanted Him to come.  There are things that often happen in life that we don't understand but we have to trust the loving hand of a God we can't see.  Just as the coming of Christ was no accident the timing of that coming was no accident.  Join us Sunday as we discuss God's timing for our lives.   ​  Sunday night  The adult choir will present "Down from His Glory"  on Saturday 6 PM (12/15) and Sunday 6 PM (12/16)   Join us for our Christmas Eve candlelight service on Monday December 24 at 6 PM In my world. . .  Please note changes in church calendar no Sunday night service on December 23 because of the Candle Light Service and no Wednesday service on December 26 Christmas card baskets are in the front lobby Deacon on Deck for December:Steve All 968-1040 Thank You for giving to this year’s Christmas Love Offering … we received $3,612.00 (this offering will be split between needy in our area and missionary Jamey Smith) Missionary  of the week:Romeo & Kaye Capuli - Southeast Asia Directorship with Advancing Native Missions Don't forget the Choir Christmas musical is also being presented on Saturday night at 6 PM invite your neighbors and family who might not be able to attend on Sunday night Wednesday night class parties this week please check with your leader for the location Praise the Lord the Living Nativity at Covington Bible Church had almost 1000 in attendance over the three days of the event Victory Bible Class our Christmas dinner is Wednesday night December 19 at Best Western 6 PM cost is $10 a person Jeff Riley our new associate pastor is the guest speaker at the Winter Retreat at Grace Bible Camp this year Grow U small group is sponsoring outreach to families in waiting rooms on Christmas Eve see bulletin for details "Journey" that is the name of Chris Chesley's new church in Beckley West Virginia don't forget to pray     Follow us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/Faith-Baptist-Church-Covington-VA/367864835486 Is there something you would like to comment about in this update?  Need to let the rest of us know something?  leave comment on Facebook at the link for this update  You can watch or listen to the sermons from Faith on the Internet just follow this link to watch a recent sermon. http://www.truthcasting.com/player.aspx#showSermon=35980 You can also watch or listen to sermons on your iphone,ipod or ipad.  You have to download the Truthcasting app for your device. http://www.truthcasting.com/ Unusual things were happening last Sunday night during the Praise Team Christmas, what does Janice Scott have on her head? We had a pleasant surprise at the Seasoned Saints Christmas meal, Buck and Glenna Barnette were able to attend, that's Glenna in red.  She has been battling cancer, undergoing chemo and we were so excited to see her at the meal.  Please continue to pray for Glenna and Buck This is Barbie Summers who is a resident at the Woodlands.  The family was called in for Barbie this week and she is in critical condition, please pray for her mom Dreama (pictured) as she and Barbie go through this difficult time. The Praise Team Christmas was a real blessing as the Praise Buddies, Jam Kids, Teens and Adult Praise Team all combined for a great evening of beautiful Christmas music and fun The 12 days of Christmas will never be the same for me after experiencing it last Sunday night. We said goodbye to Chris, Leanne, Addie and Aubri Sunday night in a special commissioning service and reception that followed.  Chris will be leaving at the end of this month. Pray for this family as they start their grand adventure of planting a new church in Beckley West Virginia We welcomed the Riley family Jeff, Melissa, Cody and Breeze to our church family and staff in a reception following the Sunday night service.    Hope to see you Sunday
