"Never have so many had so much and been so miserable about it."--copied We are frantically trying to find something that will make us happy.  We are trying to find the good life.  Yet it seems the more we try the further away the good life appears to be, we wonder if the good life is even possible.  The prophet Jeremiah was speaking to people just like us, with dreams and aspirations, yet still searching.  But they were searching in all the wrong places. Join us this Sunday morning as we look into Jeremiah 6 for God's recipe for the good life.  Hope you can join us in either service. (9 AM and 10:30 AM) 16 This is what the LORD says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, 'We will not walk in it.' Jeremiah 6:16 (NIV)  IN MY WORLD . . .          Deacon on Deck for the month of October: Ron Seabolt (968-1267) The deacon on deck is here for you, if you need prayer or advice please call Ron this month.  He would love to be used by God in your life.  Mission trip next year to Honduras,  for more information contact Katrina Bradberry or Kathleen All.

It's not too late to join in the Beth Moore Bible Study on the boook of Revelation.  This study is going on in the Women of Faith Sunday School class which meets in room 8 at 9 AM every Sunday On January 18, 2015 we will begin a very special campaign here at Faith.  We will spend several months covering the entire Bible using "The Story".   The Story is an abridged, chronological Bible that reads like a novel. There are no verse references, and Scripture segments are seamlessly woven together with transition text into a single grand narrative. For those intimidated or overwhelmed by the unabridged Bible, The Story helps people understand God’s Word more fully and engage with it more easily. Simple, accessible, and easy to use, churches are finding The Story a powerful way to engage their people in Bible reading like never before. As The Story brings the Bible to life, the broad scope of God’s message will penetrate hearts. People of all ages will be swept up in the story of God’s love and God’s plan for their lives. The Story is not designed to replace your personal Bible but to supplement your Bible study.  It is a great tool to give you a grand overview of the scripture.  We are encouraging you to read along with us as we journey through the entire Bible.  (LifeWay Christian bookstores have The Story on sale for $5.00, we will also provide a sign up sheet at the Welcome Center if you would like to order through the church.)

Technical Team: computer operator on Sunday nights   Scenes from the garage sale last week. 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.
