Back to Church Sunday is coming

Connecting people with God, Others and Service

As we journey through this life, we encounter all kinds of people.  Some of these people barely touch our lives and we pass like two ships in the night.  But some people, the people I call impact people can change us forever.  This impact can be good and rewarding or it can be extremely damaging.  King David was in a terrible situation, he was fleeing from his own son who had turned against him; leading a rebellion to overthrow him.  During this series we will take a look at those who impact us for good and bad.   The second sermon in this series looks at "The Pointers", these are the people who point us to God.  Sometimes in our darkest hours we need someone to  remind us that God is still in control even when the circumstances seem to be out of control.  Hope you can join us this Sunday at 9 AM or 10:30 AM. This Sunday night  6 PM Jeff will be sharing with us the importance of prayer.    Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they ought to pray and not to lose heart, Luke 18:1 (NASB)

We spent eight months with Irene (pictured above), talking with her, teaching her, sharing Christ with her, encouraging her, praying for her, and seeking to show her the love of God. Earlier this month I was surprised to see Irene serving as volunteer staff at Word of Life's English Camp down on Jeju Island. During that time she told me that after she graduated, she felt empty and lonely. It was at that point that she knew that she needed to have a relationship with God. During SYME she had learned the gospel, but had never accepted it. She told me with tears in her eyes that earlier this summer she became a Christian. Praise the Lord! Please pray for her as she grows in her faith. Now she is burdened for her friends to come to Christ as well.

Christ is the centre of Christianity; everything else is peripheral”-John Stott Please pray for our teens as they stand for the Lord in their schools. My name is Billy Price and I have been the pastor of Faith Baptist Church for 41 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 40 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.
