Wonder Women:Great Women of the Bible.  Our focus will be the great women in the Bible who have changed their worlds by their faith and trust in God.  Nov. 17 Mary (sister of Martha)  Nov. 24 Mary (mother of Jesus pt. 1) Dec. 1 Mary (mother of Jesus pt. 2) What character in the Bible do we always find at the feet of Jesus?  Mary the sister of Martha.  Mary modeled for us what a follower of Christ looks like and each time we find her in the Bible she teaches us an important lesson about following Jesus.  Join us this Sunday as we learn from a true follower of Christ. Where are the nine? This week Jeff will help us prepare for the Thanksgiving season as he looks at a famous passage of scripture dealing with the importance of giving thanks.  In Luke 17 only one leper out of ten chose to return and give thanks to Jesus.  Join us this Sunday night at 6 PM. 11 Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12 Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off. 13 And they lifted up their voices and said, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!" 14 So when He saw them, He said to them, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed. 15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God, 16 and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan. 17 So Jesus answered and said, "Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? 18 Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?" 19 And He said to him, "Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well." Luke 17:11-19 (NKJV)

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.
