VBS great success read all about it

Missionary Alan Sutphen next Sunday

God wanted to know.  Why were His people not asking a simple, yet extremely important question.  As we live our busy lives it is very easy to forget to ask this question.  Join us this Sunday morning as we find out what this question is in Jeremiah chapter 2.  It truly is a question that can change the way you live. This Sunday night Jeff will be preaching on Psalm 37:4 4 Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart.                                                                                                    Psalm 37:4 (NASB)The core point Jeff is stressing this Sunday night is; DELIGHT IS AN ATTITUDE THAT LEADS TO ACTION Hope you can join us in the Worship Center at 6 PM this Sunday night

We have just gone through a couple of weeks of intensive ministry here at Faith.  TeenWeek and then Vacation Bible school are very busy times around the church.  How we thank God for our volunteers.  We could not do what we do at Faith if it were not for our faithful workers who show up and step up to the challenge.  I know God has a special reward for these precious saints of God.  But as pastor I would just like to say thank you for all you do to make the ministry at Faith possible.

Technical Team: computer operator on Sunday nights   It is a rare treat in our family to have the whole tribe together.  This week we were all able to meet up in Georgia for a few days.  It was nice to have everyone in the same place at the same time and NeeNee was so happy with this photo.  Thank God for the blessing of family, it was one of His best ideas. My name is Billy Price and I have been the pastor of Faith Baptist Church for 39 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 39 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.
