Disaster Response Training and Orientation Open to All A Disaster Response training and orientation program will be held on Saturday, August 4th from 8am -1pm. This training, sponsored by Fairview Baptist Church, will be held at the River Club Church campus, 10835 Tidewater Trail, Fredericksburg, VA 22408. Anyone interested in becoming a Virginia Baptist Disaster Response volunteer is welcome to attend. The morning will start with an overview of the Disaster Response Feeding Ministry before everyone heads outside for a hands-on orientation using one of the Virginia Baptist Feeding Response trailers. The group will cook lunch, clean, and then pack the trailer to simulate a disaster operation. The training will be led by Jim George and trained volunteers from VBMB Disaster Response. As a pre-requisite, participants must take the online Introduction to Disaster Response Train-ing offered through the VBMB Disaster Response organization at https://my.bgavdr.org. This credentials people as VBMB disaster volunteers, and prepares them for the next level of training. Pre-registration for the August 4th is recommended. To register, please contact Fairview Baptist Church at (540) 373-8377 or [email protected], or call River Club Church at (540) 372-7880.
Beth Webb Announces Retirement
Beth Webb has served Fairview as Church Secretary for twelve years. Beth announced that she will be retiring effective July 31. Her last day in the office will be July 18. Many in our church and in the community have been welcomed by Beth over the years. She has made many friendships in our congregation and is loved by all. We will miss her. But we are excited for the next chapter in her life. God has great plans for her and she will ever be a part of Fairview. God bless you Beth!
Welcome to Fairview Baptist Church Sharing the Love of Jesus as we ‘Worship, Grow, Serve, and Go’.
Worship – We commit to seeing 300 or more in average worship attendance on Sunday mornings. Grow – We commit to Fairview attendees participating in 300 or more units of Bible study each week. Serve – We commit to Fairview attendees engaging in 150 acts of service within the congregation each week.
Go – We commit to Fairview attendees being involved in four or more mission experiences each year.
Greetings to everyone in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! We at Fairview are so grateful that each of you are here this morning to worship our great God. We believe that coming together to worship Jesus every Sunday is the main reason we exist as His church. As you attend one of our three worship services our prayer is that you lift up your voice, your mind, and your heart to the Lord God. As we faithfully worship the Lord in Spirit and Truth, God will reveal His word and will to us. Let us praise the Lord together this morning!

VBS 2018 Wrap-Up
Many thanks to all those who have supported the VBS ministry here at Fairview, through teaching a class, leading a rotation area, working in the background, providing food for snack time, or praying for the chil-dren and families who were impacted. We had 62 children registered, and have had a wonderful week sharing the Gospel with around 55 children each day. Hopefully we’ve put everything back in order throughout the building, but if you see something we missed, please give us a hand with getting it back the way it needs to be.
Impact Virginia Trip – One week away
Please be in prayer for Alan and the two youth who will be heading to Danville, July 22-28. They
will be participating in the BGAV’s Impact Virginia camp doing “construction ministry.” We aren’t sure yet exactly what construction we’ll be doing, whether painting, or build-ing a deck, or home repairs, or something completely different, but they are looking for-ward to sharing God’s love to those in need in the Danville area. Please keep our team in your prayers as they travel and work next week.

Youth & Children’s Ministry Training Opportunities
Group ministries, one of the larger Christian publishing groups in the US, is bringing two training opportunities to Fredericksburg this September. Youth ministry leaders, volun-teers, and parents are invited to join them on Sept. 8 for a half-day training opportuni-ty. Children’s leaders, volunteers, and fami-lies are invited for a similar half-day training event on Sept. 22. If you are willing to com-mit to going, please contact Alan to let him know so an early-bird registration can be sent in. These are great opportunities for hearing the latest trends in ministry, min-gling with parents and ministry leaders from other local churches, and spending some time together as a ministry team to focus on how to improve our ministries here at FBC.
And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory
in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19
July 25, August 8, & August 22
