Pastor’s Reflections:
“Living Life Together… in Christ!” And all who believed were together and had all things in common.
(Acts 2:44 ESV)
Reflecting back, what a magnificent Lord's Day of worship for MFBC's
One-Day Spring Revival, with Dr. Frankie Melton, Pastor of Heath
Springs Baptist Church, preaching two powerful sermons; special music
was provided by The Swamp Fox Quartet, Mr. Robbie Baxley, & MFBC
Praise Team & Choir. There were several church members who
rededicated their lives to the Lord! To God be the Glory!
Reflecting ahead, this coming Sunday, April 21st, I will be preaching a
special sermon on MFBC’s ministry theme: “Living Life Together… in
Christ!”, for the morning worship service, preluding MFBC’s Annual
Church-wide Picnic at the Diamond E Farm, at 4:00pm. Please make
plans to attend this wonderful family event; also, use this as an
opportunity to invite your “unchurched” and “nochurched” family,
friends, and neighbors.
I look forward to seeing you this week as we continue “Living Life Together… in Christ!”
Blessings, Pastor chadwick, John 3:30
