Church guide

Decided to pick up some lilies this morning to help remind me this week of who God is in those moments of anxiousness. Matthew 6:33

May it be said of us that we had an eagerness to maintain unity:)

Our reading plan this week has us in Mark 16, “So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.” Here is a good article that goes along with Ascension Day. https://www.russellmoore.com/2016/05/05/why-the-ascension-of-jesus-matters-to-you/

A prayer from a book titled War of Words by Paul David Tripp. “That temper of mine! Forgive me, Lord— I let it get the better of me again. When will I ever learn to wait until I’ve heard the whole story, to respond under pressure as Christ would, to meet evil with good? I’m growing, Lord, but my growth is far too slow. Till my life—break up clouds of pride, root out weeds of selfishness, plow under every vestige of stubbornness. Cultivate me and sow liberally more of the Spirit’s fruit-bearing seed. Send showers and storms (if need be); shine brightly on my soul. Then I will sprout forth patience and kindness and love—and self-control—in abundance, and my tongue will learn to help and heal and praise the Name of the One through Whom I pray, Amen.”

You are invited this Easter morning at 10:30am as we gather together to celebrate who God is and what He has accomplished for us in Jesus! He is Risen!

We will be singing this one together tonight. Here is a little story behind the song (How Deep the Father’s Love for Us). https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BdVQNyQmdM4

Hope you will be able to gather with us this evening @ 7pm for our Good Friday service.

A really good article to help us think through how to best be able to “love your neighbor as yourself.” “We quickly learn that we have more quantity and quality of care to give others when we have taken care of ourselves.” https://www.challies.com/articles/should-christians-self-care/

The more appropriate question answered is “How can I be a loving neighbor?”

Remember to spend intentional time this week reading and asking God to help you individually as well as us collectively “go and do likewise.”

What a blessing to provide an Easter Egg Hunt for the children in our community! We wouldn’t be able to do this if not for those who gave candy, helped pack candy, and were present today to serve! Thank you, thank you, thank you! ~ Pastor Rodney

Our Boats for Fishermen project has ended, and we were able to send along a check to World Venture in the amount of $20, 881! We praise God and rejoice in Him that we were able to be a part of such a project. The money will be used to buy boats for many people / families in the Philippines who lost their livelihood (that is, their boat) during the Typhoon late last fall. Attached to this email are a video and some pictures detailing the end result of the Boats for Fishermen project. The video is a ‘dedication’ of one of the boats; the pictures are of several other boats. While the video and pictures do not show actual boats bought with FBC’s contribution, they are accurate depictions of what is to come.

Just in case you missed it!
