FIRST BAPTIST ORLANDO

“Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.”Psalm 118:29

Dear Legacy Adult Family, On September 6, 1995, Cal Ripken Jr. broke the baseball record that many believed would never be broken: Lou Gehrig’s ironman feat of playing in 2,131 consecutive games. Ripken gives much of the credit for his accomplishments to the example and teaching of his father Cal Ripken Sr. who played minor league baseball, and coached and managed for the Orioles. During the 1996 season Ripken Sr. was inducted into the Orioles Hall of Fame. After he gave his acceptance speech, the son came to the microphone, an emotional moment recalled in his book The Only Way I know: “It was difficult. I wasn’t certain I could say what I wanted about my father and what he means to me. So I told a little story about my two children, Rachel, six at the time, and Ryan, then three. They’d been bickering for weeks, and I explained how one day I heard Rachel taunt Ryan, ‘You’re just trying to be like Daddy.’ After a few moments of indecision, I asked Rachel, ‘What’s wrong with trying to be like Dad?’ When I finished telling the story, I looked at my father and added, ‘That’s what I’ve always tried to do.’” What could be more right than to try to be like your Heavenly Father? It brings true and lasting greatness. Being a part of the Legacy Adult Ministry at First Baptist Orlando allows us to try as hard as we can to be like our Heavenly Father. We have wonderful Life Groups that help us grow strong in our beliefs; opportunities to serve that help us have servant hearts; and opportunities to fellowship with one another that help us feel loved. If you are not a part of the Legacy Adult Ministry, we invite you to join us in loving our Heavenly Father and trying to be like Him. Love, Prayers, and Blessings,

Pastor Chris

Living in Central Florida, we have the opportunity to observe many kinds of wild life in our own backyards! One kind that I really enjoy watching as they walk through our neighborhoods is the Sandhill Crane. Hearing the trumpeting call from female to male brings me a smile because theirs is really a synchronized duet, as they respond back and forth.

It is so interesting how they mate for life and work together to raise their one or two chicks. That’s why I was so saddened the other day to see that some driver had carelessly killed one of the family of four that I had enjoyed watching for so many months. I can only imagine that devastation to this little family that the Lord had created. But then as I considered this tragedy in nature, I likened it to what had happened to my family years earlier.

The Lord had graciously brought me a wonderful husband, Rodger, over fifty years earlier. Ours was a marriage filled with years of serving the Lord together right from the beginning. We thoroughly enjoyed being together in the choir and youth ministry and supported each other in individual ministries such as teaching children, electronics and broadcast television.

God blessed us with twenty-nine and a half years of marriage, during which we raised two beautiful and talented daughters. Our family of four did many things together, always having fun- from local and US travel to international mission trips. Then the “careless driver” called cancer hit our family, taking my husband and devastating the rest of us.

The predator of humanity, death, seeks to destroy what the Lord has put together. As a surviving spouse, I felt empty, cut in half, not really wanting to go on. My family life, church life, social life, and ministry were affected, as well as my physical, emotional and financial life- all because of losing my husband! It was a little like a jigsaw puzzle that was in the process of being assembled to make a beautiful picture, then suddenly being dumped on the floor and pieces going everywhere- a mess with no order!

The Lord and I struggled through many tearful times of sadness, anger, disappointment and frustration. I told Him that I just didn’t understand: if He loved me (and I knew He did) how could He take away the love of my life, my best friend, my help mate, and father of my girls? He sent comfort through His Word, with verses like “Do not fear, for I am with you, do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” (Is. 41:10)

Grief is the price paid for loving someone. The closer your relationship and the more time spent together (especially having fun), the more you will miss that loved one when they die. True, it is a comfort that in Heaven you will see them again, but I miss the fun NOW, of doing what we used to do- -going on mission trips, traveling, even laughing our way through shopping at Walmart! Grief comes in waves like the ocean, washing over you with a great sadness, so great that you dissolve into a puddle of tears- no matter where you are! A sight, sound, smell or taste

Dear Heavenly Father,You alone are sovereign ruler of the universe and the King of my life.

My deepest desire is for Your will to be done in me.I surrender my plans to You for You to change or bless any way You choose.

Help me to live every day with the attitude, ‘If You will.’When things are especially hard, remind me what You prayed, Jesus.

‘Nevertheless, not My will but Thy will be done’ And may this always be my prayer.In Jesus name…

can trigger it and bring back memories of your loved one and how much you miss them. Just looking up from the choir at the sound booth, where my husband always worked during church services, would trigger emotions. Having to fix things around the house that he always took care of made me cry as I pounded nails or worked in the yard.

There are no neat, compartmentalized stages or progressions of grief. Emotions are mixed-up, tangled like a kitten with a ball of yarn. Within the same hour, I would feel confusion, anxiety and defeat over not being able to fix the lights in the front yard to happiness and victory when I manage to fix something! But all of the emotions came with an over-lay of sadness in my heart. Because of this roller-coaster of

emotions, I made myself keep going and continue my career of teaching school, as well as serving at church in the choir, Sunday School, Bible School, Youth trips. I knew that I could only find comfort in the Lord, as I continued to serve Him and seek His plan for my life, even without my husband.

About ten years after losing my husband, I heard of a program called GriefShare, and immediately made plans to attend, feeling that maybe this was what I had been needing. From the thirteen weeks, I learned things about grief that helped me to understand what I had been going through and how to receive the Lord’s healing.

GRIEFSHARE MINISTRY

GriefShare is a Christ-centered program for adults who have lost a spouse or other loved one by death. It is designed to help them through their journey of grief, receiving the Lord’s

peace and healing.

We meet Wednesdays 9:30 AM or 6:00 PM August 14 - November 13, 2019. Your choice.

SPECIAL SESSIONS: Loss of A Spouse- Saturday, Sept. 29, 2019, 9:30 AM - Noon (Includes Lunch) Surviving the Holidays- Wednesday, November 20, 2019, 9:30 AM or 6:00 PM

All meetings are in Room FH301D and last approximately 2 hours

NEWS FROM “THE GLEANERS” LIFE GROUPThe Gleaners class, led by Bob and Ruth Ann Hudson and the teaching team, enjoyed fellowship in many ways during the last quarter. A couple of Sundays we chose to bring our “picnic” style salads, sandwiches, desserts and shared lunch together after class in our classroom. It seems to provide more opportunity to visit with others and talk than in a restaurant! It may become a regular quarterly event.

Recently, the class was very blessed to have John Bos come and update us about his ministry of Christ for the World, more specifically about his recent trip to the Philippines. John is not only gifted by God for ministry but he can come home and tell all of us about it with such enthusiasm and almost entertaining! If your class has not had an opportunity to hear the story of how John began in ministry at Christ for the World, his many travels, and also about his early life, you should invite him to your class when he is in town. I’m sure you know – he is the husband of our dear Shirley Bos. The picture is of John and Shirley.

In recognition of Merle DenBesten’s birthday, his family treated our class to a real birthday celebration for him. And what a celebration it was! (We won’t divulge Merle’s age but it was a point of celebration!). His wife, Fran, planned it all and it was a beautiful thing. All of their family (children and grandchildren were there) and spoke about their father/grandfather. AND, Gracyn, the granddaughter who had a heart transplant in the spring of 2009 at the age of 9 was the main speaker. Gracyn is now in college and doing very good. She spent five weeks this summer on a mission trip to mainland China and shared with us so much of what they were able to do and things they could not do. It was a blessing to have the whole family with us and to hear Gracyn share with us some lifechanging experiences. The picture is of Gracyn and some of the new friends she met in China.

The Gleaners have good teachers and really love and care for each other. As a class we contribute to several causes near to the heart of our members. We would love to have you visit our class any time you can.

Worry is a conversation you have with yourself

about things you cannot change. Prayer is a conversation you have with God

about things He can change.

My life is but a weaving, between my God and me. I do not choose the colors, He works steadily. Ofttimes He weaveth sorrow, and I in foolish pride, Forget He sees the upper and I the underside. Not till the loom is silent and the shuttles cease to fly, Will God unroll the canvas and explain the reason why. The dark threads are as needful in the skilled weaver’s hand, As the threads of gold and silver in the pattern He has planned.

“I know, LORD, that your laws are righteous, and that in faithfulness you have afflicted me.” Psalm 119:75

A GET-AWAY OPPORTUNITYFOR FELLOWSHIP AND SERVINGBe doers of the Word and not hearers only! James 1:22

I would like to share with you and encourage you to consider a trip to Ridgecrest Conference Center in for an “inexpensive mission type trip.” My husband, JD and I have gone in July the last two summers and have so enjoyed it. North Carolina is a wonderful get-away, especially during the summer, when they’re very busy, but they have guests and need help all year round.

We enjoy serving with other volunteers, from all over the U.S., and the Christian fellowship is sweet and encouraging. It is a nice break to be in a Christian atmosphere for a few weeks where people are serving the Lord by serving others or attending a conference to learn more about serving the Lord. On the website they state that their ‘Mission’ is “cultivating experiences, nurturing relationships, and impacting lives for God’s glory.” That is exactly what we experience when we are there. It reminds me of being at church camp when I was growing up. Volunteers stay in hotel type rooms, which have rocking chairs outside each room which allows everyone to get to know each other, and meals are also provided in the dining room, which is another great place to fellowship. We serve 30-35 hours, 5/7 days/week, doing all kinds of jobs to encourage hospitality, such as construction, maintenance, landscaping, helping in the kitchen or wiping tables in the dining room, working in the coffee shop or snack shop (dipping ice cream), cleaning guests’ rooms or driving a shuttle.

This is a fun, serving opportunity for anyone over 18, whether a single, a couple or a group - like a ‘Life Group.’ Please consider volunteering or encourage your friends or loved ones to volunteer - OR - you could volunteer together!

 GRACEVILLE MISSION TRIP 2019

6

The 18th Graceville Mission Trip to the Baptist College of Florida was as exciting as the first! Although the projects are similar, the volunteer team members are not always the same group of people. There are some who come every year and we need them because of their experience. We have some who go sometimes, and we need them too. We always have new team members who come wondering what this is all about and we need them too! This is a family-

friendly trip and we have many dynamics within the group. The one common reason they come is to serve! Enthusiasm and energy prevail during the entire week while working together for one purpose of serving. Many are out of their comfort zone, however, once they start their assignment, they learn and become more comfortable. They are eager to teach their skills to others on the team and others are willing to learn how to do something they have never done before.

Children ages up to nine attend an exciting GBS (Graceville Bible School) headed up by moms who care for and love children. Children ten and up go out on jobs with their parents, and they do a wonderful job too. We are teaching our next generation! Many volunteers over the last 18 years felt they were unable to continue as they recognized their restrictions as they aged, but we still have people who are 80+ who go. God gives us gifts and talents, and some are able to implement those longer than others.

Some of the projects each year are painting (inside and outside), pressure washing buildings and sidewalks, tiling floors, lawn maintenance, and a huge variety of construction projects. When we get too hot and need a rest from the scorching sun, we put together witness bracelets to be used on the Brazil trip. This year we put together 2400 bracelets (everyone does some – and the children do a lot of them).

Aside from the work projects, we are able to have fun. Each year we go to Dr. Kinchen’s home for a

BBQ which is a highlight of the week. Dr. Kinchen (President of the College) is our biggest cheerleader and he loves to see FBC-O arrive on the campus. This year we had our third annual talent show one evening

and emceed by Kyle Martin. So much talent was seen from many participants and it was fun and entertaining. At the end of the week a slide show was shown so everyone can see what had been going on all

over the campus during the week.

If you want to serve with a great bunch of people, and make lifelong friends, come along next year to Baptist College of Florida from June 14-19, 2020. You will catch the “Graceville bug” and your life will be forever changed. To see the article that the college staff wrote about the FBC-O team, go to their website: Baptist College of Florida and click on “News & Events” and the article is there for you to read (6/25/19 – FBC Orlando Mission Team Sacrificially Serves BCF).

SCHOLARSHIPS MAKE A DIFFERENCEThe Graceville Mission Trip is a family-friendly mission trip and when a family receives a scholarship for their child(ren), it makes such an impact on them - not only the financial assistance – but knowing that someone loves them enough to help them afford the trip. It does not cost a lot for a child, but for families who are trying to find a place to serve and receive financial assistance, it means so much. There were 25 children who received a scholarship this year due to the very generous donors. We as team leaders appreciate the donations too so that we don’t have to turn people down based on finances. It takes the weight off our shoulders as well as the parents of the children.

Thank you so much to the people who contributed toward the scholarships. Start thinking how you can help to keep the scholarships going for next year by planning now to give!

A GLASS OF MILK

8

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?” “You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. “Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness.” He said, “Then I thank you from my heart.”

As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit. Years later that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room. Dressed in his doctor’s gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day on he gave special attention to the case. After a long struggle, the battle was won.

Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it, then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room. She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally, she looked and something caught her attention on the side of the bill. She read these words:

“PAID IN FULL WITH ONE GLASS OF MILK.” (Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly. Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: “Thank You, God, that Your love is shed abroad through human hearts and hands.”

A GIFT WORTH SHARINGBy Miriam Curl

TWO INGREDIENT PINEAPPLE ANGEL FOOD CAKE1 box Angel Food Cake mix

1 can crushed pineapple, undrained

Mix the two ingredients thoroughly and bake in a 9X13 inch panapproximately 35 minutes.

I have grown up with some incredible women in my life. My grandmother on my mother’s side was Louise Ross. I called her Big Mama. My grandmother on my dad’s side was Dorothy Hamilton, I called her Grandma Hamilton. These amazing women led hardworking, family loving, but fairly, ordinary lives. They each gave me some great gifts growing up, but there was one gift they gave me that has stayed with me and has even grown far more precious than the toys and clothes that they bought over the years. The gift that they shared with me, they shared with my mom and dad first. They lived it in front of me and let me help them with it before they entrusted it to me. This gift that is so precious to me is the gift of Hospitality. My grandmothers had this special gift in spades, and they were so glad to share it.

Big Mama lived in a small town in Alabama. The town was so small that there was only one traffic light. Big Mama always had my favorite treats ready when we arrived, which made me feel special, but the things that stood out to me most were Sunday lunches and her front and back porches. Their small Baptist church often had a guest preacher and Big Mama and Big Daddy always had these men over for a Sunday lunch. My grandma always cooked from scratch and filled the table with yummy food. The warm atmosphere of her home made all who entered feel welcome and conversation so easy. My grandparents always took time to sit out on their porches and welcome folks from the town to come sit and visit for a spell. I know that Southern hospitality is a real thing, but my

grandmother showed ease and grace as she welcomed everyone.

Grandma Hamilton, was a special lady as well. They used to call me Grandma’s girl because I looked like her and we had a special connection. My dad’s parents lived in Miami. This was a stark contrast to the small southern town where my other grandparents lived. Since we lived in Miami, we went to their house often. One of the things that stands out to me the most about my grandma was when people would just stop by her house, including my family, she would say stay for lunch or dinner depending on the time of day. She would ask me to reach in the refrigerator or pantry for certain things and I would often think, “There isn’t that much here. How is she going to feed all these people?” She had the most amazing ability to take a little bit of this and a little bit of that and make a meal to feed a bunch of people. I realize now that she always took the smallest amount to make sure that her guests had all that they wanted. My dad told me once that my grandma’s favorite piece of a fried chicken was the back. That didn’t seem like the best piece to me, so I asked him why that was her favorite. He said it was what was left after he, his dad and his brothers took their pieces. My grandparents opened their home to family, friends, neighbors, and missionaries with such grace and joy.

As I grew up, I watched my grandmothers share this gift of hospitality without hesitation. My own mother has carried on this legacy and gifting. She and my

dad are always willing to open their home to share a meal at their table or give a guest a bed to sleep in overnight. They were always so willing to let me invite friends over from the time I was in elementary school through college and even now with the grandkids and their friends.

Now that I am older, I have a better understanding of where this gift came from and why they all had such joy when using it. This gift of hospitality comes from a deep love for Jesus and wanting to serve Him. As my love for Jesus continues to grow, so does my willingness to share that love for Him in my home with my own family and others. I also know that it is a spiritual gift. When you exercise your spiritual gifts, it brings you joy. Opening my home to others brings me such joy. Whether it is just adding one extra plate at my table or preparing for 60, sharing our home and

our table with others brings me joy and a little happy exhaustion.

I hope that my girls will continue this legacy of hospitality. I hope that they are realizing like I did that it is not the size of your home nor do you have to have a grand feast. It is the willingness to let the love of Jesus flow out of you and open your door to let a guest in and share a simple meal and some fellowship. I love my grandmothers for so many reasons and all that they have given to me, but one of the most special gifts is the gift of hospitality. I think of them each time I pull a recipe out of my box that has their name on it in their handwriting. I say a quick thank you to them as I prepare to share something that they shared with me with someone else. Their legacy lives on and I pray it will continue for generations to come.

VISITATION MINISTRYOne of the divisions of the S A L T Ministry is the team of volunteers who visit the nursing homes in the greater Orlando area.

THE FORGOTTEN GIFTOut on the highways and byways today,People are scurrying every which way,

Sidewalks and shops are a sight to behold,Crowded with shoppers in numbers untold.

Carols of Christmas are heard everywhere,Even from speakers in taverns they blare;Prominent too, is “the little round man,”

Go where you will and his profile you’ll scan.

Gifts by the thousands are now being sold,Large ones and small ones for both young and old:

“Spirit of Christmas” they designate this,Yet, we conclude there is something amiss.

Spirit of Christmas, but where is the Christ?Born in a stable that first Christmas night:

Where can I find ‘midst the onrushing throng,Him whom the angels extolled in their song?

Say, can it be that forgotten is He,Bartered away for the gifts ‘neath the tree?

Transient these gifts that are now within view,He is the Gift that remains ever new.

God gave the world “His Unspeakable Gift.”Has HE found a place on YOUR Christmas list?

Largely ignored by the crowds in the way,Has HE found a room in YOUR heart today?
