Fall Into Fun this Sunday at Faith

Follow us on Facebook
This Sunday we open our doors and invite the community to visit.  Please help us roll out the red carpet.  We will have games, rides and plenty of food and candy.   Invite your neighbors to be a part of this special event.  It is not too late to be involved, we need greeters to give out candy, game operators and food servers and we can always use more candy.  If you can help contact Kathleen All (969-9877).  Hope to see you this Sunday!
We are starting a brand new sermon series this Sunday.  Our focus will be the great women in the Bible who have changed their worlds by their faith and trust in God.  

Oct. 27 Hannah 
Nov. 3 Ruth 
Nov. 10 Esther 
Nov. 17 Mary (sister of Martha)
Nov. 24 Mary (mother of Jesus pt. 1)
Dec. 1 Mary (mother of Jesus pt. 2)

This week our focus is Hannah.  The prayer of this one woman changed the course of an entire nation.


15 And Hannah answered and said, "No, my lord, I am a woman of sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor intoxicating drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD. 1 Samuel 1:15 (NKJV) 

Hannah teaches us an important truth.  Prayer must be practiced to be powerful.

We just returned from our vacation.  While in Georgia I had the privilege of speaking at my son in-law's church in Kathleen GA.  It was a real joy to speak at this exciting ministry, Matt is doing a great job as pastor there.
My name is Billy Price and I have been the pastor of Faith Baptist Church for 38 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 38 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.
