Faith Connection

I will be concluding my sermon series,"The Good Life", this Sunday morning.  We have been spending our time looking at a verse in Jeremiah 6: 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)We have looked at several factors that point us to the Good Life from this verse and we close this week with the Obedience Factor.  Our main point  is:   Join us this Sunday Night!  6 PM in our worship center we have a special guest speaker. Barry Daniel grew up in our area and is now teaching at the Roanoke Valley Christian School.  In addition to preaching Barry will also be singing with our own Karen Bradberry.  Hope you can join us for this special service

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.) There has been some interest in the church providing a Wednesday meal at 6 PM for families so they can attend the Wednesday activities at Faith. What do you think? Please call the church office or respond on Facebook, would this be something your family would benefit from, there would be a small cost each week. Please give us your feedback so we can feed you.

Technical Team: computer operator on Sunday nights   December   7-6 PM  Christmas Communion 14-6 PM Praise Team Christmas 17-7 PM Class Christmas Parties 21-6 PM Karen and Company Christmas 24-6 PM Christmas Eve Candlelight Service   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.
